BTEX exposure of pregnant women and associations with pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α)

Fallah Hashemi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the exposure of pregnant women living near the Ilam petrochemical complex to BTEX and its associations with pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-alpha. Results showed higher levels of BTEX and increased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in the exposed group, with benzene having the most significant correlation. Long-term residence near petrochemical industries may pose health risks for pregnant women due to exposure to BTEX and elevated cytokine levels.

A comparison of 2020 health policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America

Lynn Unruh et al.

Summary: This paper compares health policy responses to COVID-19 in Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and United States of America (US) from January to November 2020, highlighting the common challenges faced by these countries and the differences in their responses due to variations in health system organization and financing, political leadership, and governance structures. Lack of universal health coverage and political pushback against scientific leadership were identified as barriers in the US.

Health consequences of disinfection against SARS-CoV-2: Exploring oxidative stress damage using a biomonitoring approach

Ata Rafiee et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate whether exposure to sodium hypochlorite during the COVID-19 pandemic causes oxidative stress damage in workers engaged in disinfection tasks. The results showed that even low levels of sodium hypochlorite used in disinfection practices might cause oxidative stress related damage. Therefore, implementing protective measures is crucial to reduce the health burdens of exposure to disinfectants.

A survey on the correlation between PM2.5 concentration and the incidence of suspected and positive cases of COVID-19 referred to medical centers: A case study of Tehran

Fallah Hashemi et al.

Summary: This study, through an observational study, found a correlation between the increase in air quality index (AQI) levels in Tehran and the increase in suspected and positive cases of COVID-19. The number of suspected and positive cases of COVID-19 increased with higher AQI levels. The study also identified a seasonal epidemiological pattern in autumn with colder weather, which showed a higher number of suspected and positive cases of COVID-19.

Healthcare financing in Egypt: a systematic literature review

Ahmad Fasseeh et al.

Summary: The Egyptian healthcare system has multiple stakeholders and financing agents, with out-of-pocket expenditure being the primary source of healthcare financing. In the past 12 years, total health expenditure as a percentage of GDP has remained stagnant. The implementation of Universal Health Insurance is expected to shift the healthcare financing towards more public spending.

The cognitive science of COVID-19: Acceptance, denial, and belief change

Paul Thagard

Summary: Dealing with pandemics like COVID-19 requires insights from cognitive science, which integrates various disciplines such as psychology, neuroscience, and computer modeling. Cognitive models can help explain why scientists adopt certain hypotheses and why decisions can be influenced by psychological and neural mechanisms. Cognitive science offers advice on how to improve human behavior in pandemics through changing beliefs and behaviors that result from intention-action gaps.
