Abstract:
Health is not merely absence of disease or informity, it is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. Infact, health is dynamic equilibrium between man and his environment. A commission on medical geography was made by international Geographical Union (IGU) and its report was discussed at IGU congress in Washington in 1952. Since then the analysis of health and disease through man-environment relationships has attracted the attention of geographers to work in medical geography. In this context, present article seeks to analyse the development, purpose and field of medical geography. It also attempts to analyse environmental control of disease and susceptibility and prospects of medical geography in Nepal. Finally, it concludes that geographers can make major contributions to help reduce suffering of human health and increasing longevity if they are able to establish causal links between specific disease and environment.The Geographical Journal of Nepal, Vol. 7, 2009: 33-40

Abstract:
Through the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the United States expanded its size by over 800,000 square miles. But neither President Thomas Jefferson nor Congress knew exactly what they had bought until 1806, when Meriwether Lewis and William Clark returned from their famous expedition. One of the most significant contributions of the Expedition was a better perception of the geography of the Northwest. Lewis and Clark prepared approximately 140 maps and filled in the main outlines of the previously blank map of the northwestern United States. Robert I. Field has done much the same for the vast territory of U.S. health care regulation.On the front cover of Fields new book, Health Care Regulation in America: Complexity, Confrontation, and Compromise, is a picture of a giant three-dimensional labyrinth. Rarely is cover art so perfectly appropriate.

Abstract:
Background/Purpose: The presentation of scientific studies at major meetings serves to rapidly share study results with the scientific community. On the other hand, full-text publication of abstracts in peer-reviewed journals ensures the dissemination of science. This study examines the publication rate (PR) of meeting abstracts presented at the European Society for Surgical Research (ESSR) congresses and determines/compares the factors affecting the PRs. Methods: All presentations at the ESSR congresses held during 2008-2011 were retrospectively assessed. Manuscripts indexed in PubMed were included. The meeting year, journal impact factor (IF) in the publication year, study type, presentation type, time to publication and geographic origin of studies were assessed. Results: Among a total of 1,368 oral and poster abstracts, 48.7% (n = 391) of the oral presentations (OPs) and 29.7% (n = 168) of the poster presentations (PPs) were published in medical journals indexed in PubMed. The mean IF of the journals was 2.696 (0.17-14.95). The journals that published OPs had a higher IF than the journals in which PPs were published (2.944 vs. 2.118; p < 0.001). The PR was also higher in the OP group than in the PP group of journals (p < 0.001). The time to publication was 17.5 months (−166 to 82) and was shorter for PPs than for OPs (14.02 vs. 19.09 months; p = 0.01). According to the study type, experimental studies had a significantly higher PR (53.7%; p < 0.001); however, there was no significant difference in PR in terms of the prospective or retrospective nature of clinical studies. The clinical studies were also compared according to the IF values of the journals in terms of the prospective or retrospective nature of the study, and no significant difference was found (p = 0.62). Conclusion: The ESSR congress is an efficient meeting for researchers from varied surgical disciplines and has a PR equivalent to that of similar scientific meetings. The congress has achieved a PR of 40.9% over 4 years with an average IF of 2.696 and a mean time to publication of 17.5 months, which is equivalent to that of similar scientific meetings. OPs have a higher PR in journals with greater IF values as compared with PPs.

Abstract:
ImportanceTimely access to medical care is an important determinant of health and well-being. The US Congress passed the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act in 2014 and the VA MISSION (Maintaining Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks) Act in 2018, both of which allow veterans to access care from community-based clinicians, but geographic variation in appointment wait times after the passage of these acts have not been studied.ObjectiveTo describe geographic variation in wait times experienced by veterans for primary care, mental health, and other specialties.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis is a cross-sectional study using data from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Corporate Data Warehouse. Participants include veterans who sought medical care from January 1, 2018, to June 30, 2021. Data analysis was performed from February to June 2022.ExposuresReferral to either VHA or community-based clinicians.Main Outcomes and MeasuresTotal appointment wait times (in days) for 3 care categories: primary care, mental health, and all other specialties. VHA medical centers are organized into regions called Veterans Integrated Services Networks (VISNs); wait times were aggregated to the VISN level.ResultsThe final sample included 22 632 918 million appointments for 4 846 892 unique veterans (77.3% male; mean [SD] age, 61.6 [15.5] years). Among non-VHA appointments, mean (SD) VISN-level appointment wait times were 38.9 (8.2) days for primary care, 43.9 (9.0) days for mental health, and 41.9 (5.9) days for all other specialties. Among VHA appointments, mean (SD) VISN-level appointment wait times were 29.0 (5.5) days for primary care, 33.6 (4.6) days for mental health, and 35.4 (2.7) days for all other specialties. There was substantial geographic variation in appointment wait times. Among non-VHA appointments, VISN-level appointment wait times ranged from 25.4 to 52.4 days for primary care, from 29.3 to 65.7 days for mental health, and from 34.7 to 54.8 days for all other specialties. Among VHA appointments, wait times ranged from 22.4 to 43.4 days for primary care, from 24.7 to 42.0 days for mental health, and from 30.3 to 41.9 days for all other specialties. There was a correlation between wait times across care categories and setting (VHA vs community care).Conclusions and RelevanceThis cross-sectional study found substantial variation in wait times across care type and geography, and VHA wait times in a majority of VISNs were lower than those for community-based clinicians, even after controlling for differences in specialty mix. These findings suggest that liberalized access to community care under the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act and the VA MISSION Act may not result in lower wait times within these regions.

Abstract:
Abstract As Congress considers renewing the Acute Hospital Care At Home (AHCaH) waiver, which provides a full hospital payment for Hospital at Home (HaH) care, evaluating uncertainty around the future of HaH payment is critical. Our qualitative study explored HaH leaders’ experiences with implementing HaH (N=18, clinical/medical directors, operational and program managers) from 14 new and pre-existing programs across the U.S. We conducted semi-structured interviews with HaH programs diverse by size, urbanicity, and geography. We analyzed transcripts using a thematic approach. Participants across settings and regions wanted greater clarity about the waiver’s future. Lack of clarity affected staffing (nurses reluctant to take temporary jobs) and investment in establishing programs (building EMR components, changing workflows, creating inpatient processes in an outpatient setting). Programs adapted to uncertainty in multiple ways: 1) operating parallel waiver and non-waiver programs; 2) seeking to determine/ calculate the HaH value for their institution; 3) determining which patients would benefit most from HaH; and 4) seeking additional health system financing options beyond the CMS reimbursement (new programs) or relying on existing contracts with payers (existing programs). Implementing HaH is a complex and resource intensive process. Greater clarity from CMS regarding the waiver’s future state will encourage programs to invest the resources that they need to establish their programs long-term. Waiver extension/ permanence would also enable programs to develop and test measures of value, making rigorous evaluations possible to optimize different HaH components.

Abstract:
Continuing the trendline of 2020, North Korea’s key priorities in 2021 were to tighten its belt economically and control the COVID-19 pandemic. Those two goals were related. With its healthcare system no match for such a public health crisis, the government continued its utmost effort to prevent a COVID-19 disaster through the near-complete closure of its borders, severely hampering vital trade with China. As seen in the 8th Congress of the Workers’ Party of North Korea, however, chairman Kim Jong-un also prioritized maintaining an assertive stance toward the United States, even to the point of abjuring negotiations with Washington that might have unlocked vaccines or medical assistance. Instead, North Korea frequently criticized the US’s “hostile position” and carried out a variety of missile tests, which seemed more provocative and capable throughout the year. Pyongyang also restarted the Yongbyon nuclear facilities for producing fissile materials. This assertive and provocative behavior was emboldened by steadily closer ties with traditional allies, notably China and Russia. Meanwhile, North Korea largely showed a cold, dismissive attitude to its southern counterpart.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper argues that the concept of moral economy, formulated by E.P. Thompson and developed in Asian contexts by James Scott and Paul Greenough can be usefully employed to analyse the peasant narratives of Premchand, one of the greatest writers in Hindi-Urdu literatures. But such an application is possible only if the concept is expanded further. In Premchand's works related to peasantry we find several ideological currents. However, the idea of peasantry's own cultural resources in opposition to other social groups appears to be predominant in his later works. There is a sense of centrality of peasant culture which Premchand and some others among the Hindi literary intelligentsia came to acquire, and deployed for various purposes—against colonial regime, against the products of colonial modernity (e.g., factories, English schools, courts, medical profession), against the new urban middle classes and their culture, against urbanism as a whole and, sometimes, even against the Congress, the representative of organized nationalism. Distinct from both the everyday forms of resistance and open rebellion, Premchand visualizes a comprehensive peasant paradigm in opposition to colonialism, and urban middle-class perspectives.

Abstract:
AbstractThe interwar period has recently been described as a highly internationalist one in South Asia, as a series of distinct internationalisms—communist, anarchist, social scientific, socialist, literary, and aesthetic1—took shape. At the same time, it has been argued that the Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937 drew to a close various opportunities for international association (at least, temporarily). Taking into account both these contradistinctive developments, this article deals with another—and thus far largely overlooked—South Asian internationalism in the form of wartime Indian humanitarianism. In 1938, the Indian National Congress helped organize an Indian medical mission to China to bring relief to Chinese victims of the Second Sino-Japanese War. By focusing on this initiative, this article traces the ideas, the practices, and the motives of Indian political humanitarianism. It argues that such initiatives, as they became part of much wider global networks of humanitarianism in the late 1930s and early 1940s, created new openings for Indian nationalists to establish international alliances. This article also examines the way in which political humanitarianism enabled these same nationalists to perform as independent leaders on an international stage, and argues that humanitarianism served as a tool of anti-colonial emancipation.

Abstract:
Physical and emotional wellness, as well as access to healthcare, are foundations for successful resettlement. Without feeling healthy, it is difficult to work, to go school, or take care of a family. Many factors can affect refugee health, including geographic origin and refugee camp conditions. Refugees may face a wide variety of acute or chronic health issues (Office of Refugee Resettlement, ORR Annual Report to Congress 2014; http://www.acf.hhs.gov). Resettlement of refugees in Uganda is usually supported by concerted efforts of UNHCR, Governments through the Office of the Prime Minister, OPM with support from host communities, local and international Non-Governmental Organizations. Due to resource constraints and local factors, immigrants are often subjected to poor living conditions which coupled with inadequacy inessential medical supplies might significantly affects quality of care and health service delivery and hence, rendering refugees to poor health status. This study was conducted from 2013-2014 to assess the determinants of health status of Congolese refugees living in Nakivale refugee settlement, in Isingiro district- South Western Uganda. A cross-sectional study design was used involving mixed techniques of both qualitative and quantitative KAP survey. The study focussed on Congolese refugee population in Nakivale Refugee settlement. 2401 key informants’ interviews and 8 focus group discussions respectively were conducted targeting service providers and beneficiaries/Congolese refugees in this case. The data was analysed using SPSS ver.20, 2011. Although majority (97%) of respondents sought medical services from established health facilities, findings confirm a high level of ill health prevalence among Congolese refugees in Nakivale camp, however, the difference in health services and perceived health status in camp versus the one in DRcongo is insignificant ( p=0.000) with respondents perceiving their health status as worse than when they were their own Country before the resettlement. Identified key challenges affecting access &amp; uptake of available health services includes: language barrier; inadequate drugs; and the long distances to access health facilities. The health status of refugees could be improved by addressing the challenges related to language, drug supplies in addition to humanising conditions of shelter, providing appropriate waste disposal facilities while proving adequate food rations and clean &amp; safe drinking water.

Abstract:
The issue of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election has been widely debated by scholars and journalists. However, these works have not fully analyzed the ads that have been released by Facebook and the U.S. Congress. This project uses a case study to analyze the ads posted by the Russian-affiliated Internet Research Agency, considering the quantities of ads targeted to particular geographic locations, the frequency of targeting for unique keywords, and the reach and impressions of each of the ads. Further, these results are compared to results from best practices in traditional social media campaigns as a way to better understand the goals and potential impacts of the IRA ads. In conclusion, the project, by analyzing the full set of IRA ads, sheds new light on the way false information narratives were leveraged by the Russian-linked IRA.

Abstract:
Geomatics includes techniques such as photogrammetry, remote sensing and geographic information systems, which provide applicable tools in various areas of biomedicine, for example skin ulcer measurement. In previous projects we developed procedures for acquiring data and measuring skin ulcers using a digital photo camera, a manual scanner and photogrammetry software based on correlation. We have tested our technique in a randomized clinical trial in patients with chronic leg ulcers. In the present project an application system is created with the following objectives: automate the processing of three-dimensional models of cutaneous ulcers and generate documentation that ease the interpretation of the evolution of skin ulcers by medical personnel (including PDF report, AVI animation and XOS augmented reality project). We also created a website prototype that stores the documentation, allowing registered users to upload photographs and consult or modify the database of skin ulcers. A test is performed with 50 cutaneous leg ulcers, in order to debug and improve the application system and the website prototype.http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIGeo2017.2017.6553

Abstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">As connected and automated vehicle technologies emerge and proliferate, lower frequency vehicle trajectory data is becoming more widely available. In some cases, entire fleets are streaming position, speed, and telemetry at sample rates of less than 10 seconds. This presents opportunities to apply powertrain simulators such as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s Future Automotive Systems Technology Simulator to model how advanced powertrain technologies would perform in the real world. However, connected vehicle data tends to be available at lower temporal frequencies than the 1-10 Hz trajectories that have typically been used for powertrain simulation. Higher frequency data, typically used for simulation, is costly to collect and store and therefore is often limited in density and geography. This paper explores the suitability of lower frequency, high availability, connected vehicle data for detailed powertrain simulation. A large data set of 1 Hz trajectories is used to quantify the accuracy loss when simulating energy consumption for conventional, hybrid, and battery electric powertrains using less than 1 Hz data. Techniques to upsample lower frequency drive cycle data in order to increase accuracy are also explored. Median energy consumption errors when simulating energy consumption for a 1/10 Hz trajectory are found to be 3-6% when compared to 1 Hz trajectories. Applying upsampling and interpolation techniques are shown to reduce the simulation errors by roughly 50%. The findings in this work can guide connected vehicle data collection specifications and processing techniques applied when using collected data for powertrain simulation.</div></div>

Abstract:
Introduction: In documents from the Brazilian Society of Radiotherapy, quantitative analysis revealed that radiotherapy sessions, when performed, have not been timely. The average waiting time between the diagnosis data and the start of radiotherapy has been, on average, 113.4 days — which can consistently affect the chances of being cured for many patients. In some regions, waiting time is even longer; not infrequently, patients are treated with outdated methods and unprecision machines. Radiotherapy in Brazil is in a critical situation, especially with regard to the care of patients assisted by the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS). The main problems that contribute to this scenario are related to inadequate description and poor installation capacity, both from the point of view of the number of devices and their geographic distribution. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether delaying the initiation of adjuvant radiotherapy is related to decreased survival in women with breast cancer. Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive, and longitudinal study (cross section) of patients admitted to the CRI/IBO, Niterói, RJ, all from SUS. Through the review of medical records, 81 patients were selected. Only patients diagnosed with stage IIb (T3N0) breast malignancy according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM 8th (AJCC) were included. The analysis was performed by the time taken to start the radiotherapy after the initial treatment, which was treated by conservative surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. The cohort was divided into two groups according to the timing of radiotherapy after the initial treatment: 6 months. Results: In the data analysis, it was observed that 70 (86.4%) patients did not have disease recurrence, while 11 (13.6%) patients had tumor recurrence. The average time between the end of the last chemotherapy day and the start of adjuvant radiotherapy was 6.1 months (1–12/95%CI 5.5–6.8, SD±2.9). Referring patients to those who provide adjuvant radiotherapy at 6 months (group B), we have 36 patients (44.4%) in group A and 45 patients (55.6%) in group B. In group A (36 patients), 34 patients (94.4%) did not have tumor recurrence and 2 (5.6%) did have tumor recurrence. In group B (45 patients), 36 (80%) patients did not have tumor recurrence and 9 (20%) did have tumor recurrence, with p=0.0001. Bearing in mind that the objective of the study is disease-free survival in 5 years, the mean follow-up time of patients was 69.8 months (51–92/95%CI 68.2–71.3, SD±7.0). It was evaluated that patients who had adjuvant radiotherapy in less than 6 months had a longer survival than patients who had more than 6 months (p <0.001). Therefore, patients with a delay of more than 6 months in the initial adjuvant radiotherapy treatment had an impact on the 5-year disease-free survival. Conclusion: This study is not conclusive, but we were able to observe data that show a worsening in the patient’s survival and prognosis in relation to the delay in the radiotherapy treatment. However, the waiting time for radiotherapy should be as short as reasonably possible, as there is a possibility that this delay will cause worse disease control rates.
