Генетико-эпидемиологическое обследование населения республики Северная Осетия-Алания проводится сотрудниками лаборатории генетической эпидемиологии ФГБНУ «МГНЦ». В рамках стандартного протокола исследования проводится изучение максимально возможного числа популяционно-генетических характеристик. На основании 27583 брачных записей проанализированы индекс эндогамии, интенсивность метисации и этническая брачная ассортативность в 8 районах Северной Осетии и г. Владикавказе. Выявлены различия этих брачно-миграционных характеристик между двумя субэтносами - иронцами и дигорцами. Дигорцы характеризуются более высокой эндогамностью и более низкой метисацией, чем иронцы. Genetic epidemiological study of the population of the North Ossetia-Alania Republic, Russia, is caring out by the Laboratory of Genetiс Epidemiology of Research Centre for Medical Genetics (Moscow, Russia).Within the framework of the standard protocol we study the maximum of possible population-genetic characteristics. Based on the 27583 marriage records, the index of endogamy, the intensity of metisation and ethnic marriage assortativness in 8 regions of North Ossetia and Vladikavkaz have been analyzed. The differences in the marriage and migration characteristics are revealed for two subethnoses: the Irons and the Digors. The Digors have a higher value of endogamy index and a lower metisation level than the Irons have.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to investigate the presence of Speech-Language and Hearing (SLH) professionals in the teams of Workers’ Health Reference Centres (Centros de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador - CEREST) in Brazil, their distribution and features related to inclusion and activities. Methods: a descriptive, epidemiological study, in which all the CERESTs in the country were units of observation. Primary data were collected by applying a questionnaire to the CEREST Coordinator or one of their designated representatives. Results: 158 of the 199 eligible CERESTs participated in the research. In 2014, 48.1% of these CEREST had an SLH professional on their team, with the highest number in the Southeast and the lowest in the North Region. When present, statutory contracts were the most common form of employment. Approximately 75% of the CEREST with a SLH professional in the team reported surveillance activities in general, as well as actions specific to noise-induced hearing loss and work-related voice disorders. However, in 7.9% of these units, the SLH professionals were exclusively dedicated to clinical care. Conclusion: this study describes and examines the incipient inclusion of SLH professionals in CEREST, providing evidence that indicates regional inequalities and reveals that, despite generally working in health surveillance activities, there remain units where the SLH professionals are only dedicated to specialized care.

AbstractThe emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome type 2 coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and its complications have demonstrated the devastating impact of a new infectious pathogen. The organisational change promulgated by the isolation of affected communities is of extreme importance to achieve effective containment of the contagion and good patient care. The epidemiological study of the population of a small rural community in the North East of Italy revealed how much the virus had circulated during Spring, 2020, and how contagion has evolved after a prolonged lockdown. In the 1st phase, NAAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing) was performed in cases with more or less severe symptoms and a study was performed to trace the infection of family members. Only 0.2% of the population tested positive on NAAT, via nasopharyngeal swab during this 1st phase. In the 2nd phase a random sample of the general population were tested for circulating anti-Sars-Cov-2 immunoglobulins. This showed that approximately 97.9% of the population were negative, while 2.1% (with positive IgG at a distance) of the population had contracted the virus in a mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic form. The main symptom in subjects who developed immunity was fever. Antibodies were found in subjects with forced coexistence with quarantined or infected subjects. The mutual spatial distance by categories has shown higher relative prevalence of IgG positive and IgM negative cases in close proximity but also far from the infected, with respect to an intermediate distance. This suggests that subjects living in thinly populated areas could come in contact with the virus more likely due to intentional/relational proximity, while those living nearby could also be infected through random proximity.

Background: The cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is an obstruction or rupture of brain irrigating vessels, causing reduction of the tecidual oxigenation, which may result in after-effects and death. Objectives: To analyze the number of hospitalizations and deaths from ischemic and hemorrhagic CVA in Brazil in the last decade. Design and setting: Transversal descriptive epidemiological study based in Brazil. Methods: Study based on DATASUS data, from February 2011 to February 2021. Results: Brazil registered 417.950 hospitalizations, of which 19.493 occurred in the North region, 86.626 in the North East, 205.356 in the Southeast, 85.201 in the South and 21.274 in the Midwest. The 60 to 79 age registered 213.255 hospitalizations; the 40 to 59, 99.993; the 80 or more, 88.184; and the 20 to 39, 16.518. The male gender registered 216.454 hospitalizations; the female, 201.496. The deaths registered 64.552, of which 3.111 happened in the North region, 13.483 in the North East, 33.455 in the Southeast, 11.119 in the South and 3.384 in the Midwest. The 80 above age range represented 19.803 deaths; the 60 to 79, 18.339; the 40 to 59, 11.867; and the 20 to 39, 1.543. The male gender registered 32.336 cases; the female, 32.216. Conclusions: Brazil had an anual average of 41.795 hospitalizations and 6.455,2 deaths due to stroke in last decade. The South region showed the highest incidence of hospitalizations (0,28%), while the North had the lowest (0,10%). The lethality of the disease was similar in all regions (15%), except for the South, with a 13% lethality.

ObjectivesGlobal prevalence rates of psoriasis differ significantly, with lowest rates in the equator region and increasing tendencies towards the north but also differences within-country. Information on regional variations in Germany is missing. This study aims to analyse the change of psoriasis prevalence in Germany over time and to detect regional variations.DesignCross sectional, spatio-epidemiological study on regional psoriasis prevalence in Germany.SettingClaims data study based on nationwide outpatient billing data on county level.MethodsAnalyses based on outpatient billing data for 2010–2017 derived from all people insured in statutory health insurances (about 72.8 million). We performed descriptive spatio-temporal analyses of prevalence rates using probability mapping and statistical smoothing methods, identified spatial clusters and examined a north-south gradient using spatial statistics.ResultsThe prevalence increased from 147.4 per 10 000 in 2010 to 173.5 in 2017. In 2017, counties’ prevalence rates ranged between 93.8 and 340.9. Decreased rates occurred mainly in southern counties, increased rates in northern and eastern counties. Clusters of low rates occur in southern and south-western Germany, clusters of high rates in the north and north-east. The correlation between counties’ latitudes and their prevalence rates was high with Pearson’s r=0.65 (p<0.05).ConclusionIncreased prevalence of psoriasis over time and marked regional variations in Germany were observed which need further investigation.

There is a deficiency of data on oral health of adults in northern Norway, and available reports indicate poorer oral health in the north as compared with the rest of the country. The objective of this pilot study was to develop and test out tools for a larger epidemiological study of oral health among adults in northern Norway. The study was conducted in the municipalities of Nordkapp and Båtsfjord located in the northernmost county, Finnmark. Questionnaires and letters of invitation were sent to 100 randomly selected individuals in each town, in total 200. Those who filled and returned the questionnaires were sent appointment cards to a free oral examination at the local dental clinic. The main finding from the study was a low response rate; 34% responded to the questionnaire and 26.5% attended the oral examination. Response rate was highest among women above forty years old (37%) and lowest among men under forty years (12%). There is a necessity for further studies and strategies to increase response rate to subsequent oral epidemiologic studies in northern Norway. Radiological examination is not necessary for such studies but a questionnaire and a physical oral examination should be included.
