AbstractShiga toxin-producingEscherichia coli(STEC) strains are food-borne pathogens that are an important public health concern. STEC infection is associated with severe clinical diseases in human beings, including hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which can lead to kidney failure and death. Cattle are the most important STEC reservoir. However, a number of STEC outbreaks and HUS cases have been attributed to pork products. In swine, STEC strains are known to be associated with edema disease. Nevertheless, the relationship between STEC of swine origin and human illness has yet to be determined. This review critically summarizes epidemiologic and biological studies of swine STEC. Several epidemiologic studies conducted in multiple regions of the world have demonstrated that domestic swine can carry and shed STEC. Moreover, animal studies have demonstrated that swine are susceptible to STEC O157:H7 infection and can shed the bacterium for 2 months. A limited number of molecular epidemiologic studies, however, have provided conflicting evidence regarding the relationship between swine STEC and human illness. The role that swine play in STEC transmission to people and the contribution to human disease frequency requires further evaluation.

The Relationship

Diabetes is a widespread disease and, therefore, studies dealing with diabetes and its complications are very important for public health. Numerous reports link vitamin D deficiency to the increased risk of diabetes mellitus and complications such as neuropathy. However, there are limited and conflicting data available on vitamin D deficiency in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Studies in type 2 diabetics confirmed the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and incidence of neuropathy. Recent reports suggest a relationship between the incidence of plantar ulcers and vitamin D deficiency. Orv. Hetil., 2013, 154(51), 2012–2015.

The Relationship

This study examines gender constructs in advertising in European beer commercials ( N = 59). It employs a lens of “citizenship” for discerning techniques by which male and female realms are portrayed as nonrelated, competing, and of unequal worth. This lens provides an explanation for why the connotations are problematic from a public health perspective. The citizenship-related tensions that the commercials entailed concerned taking the lead versus being governed, being free versus being controlled, being seen as a threat versus being welcomed as a friend, and being worthy of solidarity versus being excluded from group bonding. The article argues that these tensions not only involve the ethical issue of encouraging the consumption of potentially harmful substances (alcohol) and reproducing repellent gender stereotypes. The controlling, moralizing, and dull female characters are construed as infringing on the knowledgeable, skillful, and free alcohol-consuming male citizens. Gender thus unfolds as a crucial dimension in the mediation of commercial views on the relationship between the consumer and the state in alcohol policy.

Substantial Heterogeneity

Abstract Loneliness and isolation are now characterised as major public health problems largely because of reported associations with negative health outcomes including dementia. We adopt a public health perspective and review the relationship between loneliness/isolation and dementia focussing on how these concepts are defined, measured, and reported. We identified community based longitudinal studies which measured loneliness/isolation at baseline and dementia at follow up (minimum 12 months) published up to February 2021. We identified 12 papers for loneliness and 15 for isolation which demonstrated substantial heterogeneity in how exposure (loneliness/ isolation) and outcome (dementia) were measured and reported. For example, dementia was measured in 5 different ways: death, hospitalisation, clinical diagnosis, dementia screening tools or cognitive function. Evidence to support a relationship between loneliness/isolation and dementia is inconclusive largely because of this methodological heterogeneity. Using consistent exposure and outcome measures is a prerequisite for determining the health consequences of loneliness and isolation.
