Systems thinking is aimed at understanding and solving complex problems that cut across sectors, an approach requires accurate, timely, multisectoral data. Citizen-driven big data can advance systems thinking, considering the widespread use of digital devices. Using platforms, from these devices transform health to predict prevent global crises respond rapidly emerging by providing citizens with real-time support. For example, obtain support help public risks via a app, which evolving risks. These be aggregated visualized on dashboards, provide decision-makers advanced analytics facilitate jurisdiction-level rapid responses climate change impacts (e.g., direct crisis communication).

ABSTRACT Background Human populations are rapidly ageing worldwide due to declining birth rates and rising life expectancies. This profound demographic shift presents complex public health challenges. Synthesizing evidence on key issues impacting policy strategies is required address these needs. Methods The study employs narrative literature review based the PubMed database. Data have been extracted challenges its recommended solutions. Results identified include chronic disease burden, risks for preventable multi‐morbidities co‐morbidities, disability dependencies, mental issues, caregiving gaps, long‐term care system deficiencies, inequities, healthcare access barriers, end‐of‐life needs, financial instability, ageism/elder abuse, adverse built environments, climate/disaster threats, social isolation. Evidence‐based responses span interventions in healthcare, services, urban planning, emergency preparedness, economics, technology, anti‐ageism advocacy so on. Conclusions Proactively addressing array of faced by growing globally requires implementing collaborative, multisectoral solutions focused promoting healthy, equitable, socially engaged ageing. Healthcare systems, communities, policies must be optimized meet needs elderly people tap into their strengths.

Climate change is causing serious damage to natural and social systems, as well having an impact on human health. Among the direct effects of climate rise in global surface temperatures increase frequency, duration, intensity severity heat waves. In addition, understanding adaptation process exposed population remains limited, posing a challenge accurately estimating heat-related morbidity mortality. this context, study seeks establish conceptual framework that would make it easier understand organise knowledge about factors may influence process. An inductive approach based grounded theory was used, through analysis case studies connecting concepts. The proposed made up five components (climate change, vulnerability, health risks heat, axes inequality outcomes), three heat-adaptation domains (physiological, cultural political), two levels (individual social), pre-existing before event. application facilitates assistance decision-makers planning implementing effective measures. Recognizing importance addressing problem calls for political solutions changes. Accordingly, requires multidisciplinary foster participation collaboration multiple actors purpose proposing measures address temperature.

Abstract Objective Although biomedical informatics has multiple roles to play in addressing the climate crisis, collaborative action and research agendas have yet be developed. As a first step, AMIA’s new Climate, Health, Informatics Working Group held mini-summit entitled Climate health: How can help? during AMIA 2023 Fall Symposium define an initial set of areas interest begin mobilizing informaticians confront urgent challenges change. Materials Methods The (at time, Discussion Forum), International Medical Association (IMIA), Academy Health Sciences (IAHSI), Regenstrief Institute hosted on November 11, 2023, Annual (New Orleans, LA, USA). Using affinity diagramming approach, organizers posed 2 questions ∼50 attendees (40 in-person, 10 virtual). Results Participants expressed broad array viewpoints actions that undertaken now needing support future actions. Areas current ranged from enhanced education expanded telemedicine assessment community vulnerability. emergency preparedness climate-specific clinical coding risk prediction models. was intended as step helping at large application priorities for climate, health, informatics. Conclusion working group will use these perspectives it seeks further input, begins establish climate-related research.

The revival of the transmission dynamics mosquito-borne diseases grants striking challenges to public health intensified by climate change worldwide. This inclusive review article examines multidimensional strategies and linked epidemiology such as malaria, dengue, Zika, chikungunya, yellow fever. It delves into how biology, pathogenic dynamics, vector distribution mosquitoes are influenced continuously rising temperatures, modified rainfall patterns, extreme climatic conditions. We also highlighted high likelihood malaria in Africa, dengue Southeast Asia, blowout Aedes North America Europe. Modern predictive tools developments surveillance, including molecular gears, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing have boosted our capacity predict epidemics. Integrated data management techniques models based on conditions provide a valuable understanding planning. Based recent expert ideas, objective this is thoughtful existing landscape upcoming directions control regarding changing climate. determines emerging innovative ensure health.

Abstract Mosquitoes are significant vectors of various pathogens. Unlike vertebrates, insects rely solely on innate immunity. Hemocytes play a crucial role in the cellular part immune system. The gaseous radical nitric oxide (NO) produced by hemocytes acts against pathogens and also functions as versatile transmitter both nervous systems, utilizing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) second messenger. This study conducted parallel comparison NO synthase (NOS) expression production during Escherichia coli K12 infection four vector species: Aedes aegypti , albopictus Culex pipiens molestus quinquefasciatus . Increased NOS NADPH diaphorase (NADPHd) staining immunofluorescence by-product L-citrulline were observed infected mosquito distributed throughout abdomens. NADPHd activity citrulline labeling particularly found periostial near heart, but ventral nerve chord (VNC). Pericardial cells Ae. Cx. p. showed increased immunofluorescence, suggesting their involvement response. Oenocytes displayed strong independent status. comparative study, consistent with findings other species, suggests widespread phenomenon NO’s hemocyte responses E. infection. Found differences within between genera highlight importance species-specific investigations.

Abstract Zinc chromium oxide (Cr/ZnO, 5wt.%) was prepared by a facile chemical co-precipitation route. The structure, composition, and bonding were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) indicating that ions integrated the host framework to form Cr/ZnO nanocomposite. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Transmission (TEM) micrographs showed comb-shaped nanoparticles with an average size 20 nm large surface area. energy gap of thin films estimated from T% R% measurements which exhibit strong optical absorption edge close visible spectrum. insecticidal activity synthesized nanocombs against C. pipiens larvae evaluated LC 50 (30.15 ppm) 90 (100.22 ppm). Besides, nanocomposite high antibacterial performance gram-positive bacteria ( Bacillus subtilis ) gram-negative Proteus vulgaris inhibition zones 21.9 19 mm, respectively.

Climate change has significantly altered the dynamics of vector-borne infectious diseases, favoring their proliferation and geographic expansion. Factors such as rising temperatures, frequency extreme weather events, uncontrolled urbanization have increased incidence diseases dengue, Zika, chikungunya, malaria, Lyme disease, especially in vulnerable regions with limited infrastructure. This article presents a narrative review based on recent scientific literature (2018-2025) to assess impact climate vector distribution, co-infections, control strategies. The evidence collected highlights how changing conditions, combined socioeconomic, political, demographic factors, exacerbate public health crises complicate mitigation efforts. It is concluded that facing this challenge requires comprehensive strategy combines environmental management, technological innovation, epidemiological surveillance, community educational programs, promoting coordinated global response reduce associated risks.
