Background People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are significantly more likely to develop and die from cancer than the housed population. Major factors influencing outcome are timely detection and treatment, which especially populations with complex needs lack access to. This scoping review outlines cancer risk factors among PEH and their facilita...

Background People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are a vulnerable population, having higher cancer morbidity and mortality compared to the housed population. Reasons for this may be due to higher prevalence of risky health behaviors but also owning to barrier to access and utilize healthcare services. This study aimed to show the prevalence of ris...

Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a pressing global health issue. National Action Plans on AMR (NAP-AMR) are key to mitigate AMR, however, effective translation of action plans has been a governance challenge worldwide. This study explores the implementation gap in Austria by examining experiences of experts involved in domestic AMR poli...

Introduction: Homelessness is a complex social issue that significantly impairs the health of those affected. People experiencing homelessness (PEH) have a higher prevalence of adverse health outcomes, including premature mortality, compared with the general population, with cancer being the second-leading cause of death. The objective of this sco...

Background: During the early SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, all healthcare workers had specific and essential functions. However, environmental services (e.g., cleaning staff) and allied health professionals (e.g., physiotherapists) are often less recognised inpatient care. The aim of our study was to evaluate SARS-CoV-2-infection rates and describe risk fa...

Data from human and animal studies are highly suggestive of an influence of time of day of vaccine administration on host immune responses. In this population-based study, we aimed to investigate the effect of time of day of administration of a COVID-19 vector vaccine, ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AstraZeneca), on SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike S1 immunoglobulin (IgG)...

Vulnerability assessments identify vulnerable groups and can promote effective community engagement in responding to and mitigating destabilising events. This scoping review maps assessments for local-level vulnerabilities in the context of infectious threats. We searched various databases for articles written between 1978 and 2019. Eligible docume...

Mit dem CANCERLESS-Projekt (EU-Horizon 2020) soll durch die Entwicklung eines neuartigen Versorgungsmodells, dem Health Navigator Model (HNM), obdach- und wohnungslosen Menschen in Europa der frühzeitige Zugang zu Krebspräventionsmaßnahmen ermöglicht werden. Um das HNM an strukturelle Bedingungen im österreichischen Gesundheitssystem anzupassen, wu...

Da obdach- und wohnungslose Menschen einer Reihe von Risikofaktoren ausgesetzt sind und Probleme beim Zugang zu geeigneten Präventions-, Screening- und Therapiediensten haben, ist die Prävalenz von Krebs und die krebsspezifische Mortalität höher als in der Allgemeinbevölkerung. Integrierte kollaborative Modelle, die auf Co-Design mit obdach- und wo...

Hintergrund: Im Vergleich zur Allgemeinbevölkerung sind obdachlose Menschen einem unverhältnismäßig höheren Risiko schlechterer Gesundheitsoutcomes ausgesetzt und häufig mit Barrieren bei der Inanspruchnahme von Gesundheitsleistungen konfrontiert. Das Modell der Patientennavigation (PNM) soll bestehende Ungleichheiten in der Gesundheitsversorgung b...

Objectives To address structural determinants and healthcare workers’ (HCWs) physical, mental, emotional and professional challenges of working during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design Exploratory qualitative study with semistructured interviews. Collected data were analysed using thematic analysis. Setting This qualitative study was undertaken with...

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a significant burden on health care systems worldwide with health care workers (HCWs) delivering care under unprecedented conditions. This study deals with HCWs' physical, mental, emotional and professional challenges of working during the COVID-19 pandemic and seeks to understand structural determinants...

This protocol will guide and explain the working process of a systematic scoping review on vulnerability assessment tools in the field of infectious disease outbreaks and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crises. The scoping review will appraise existing tools or methodologies to identify local level vulnerabilities in the context of infectious diseas...

Background Until recently a standard regimen of 1 28 days of oral miltefosine was first line treatment for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the Indian subcontinent, where the World Health Organisation recommends several new lowdose regimens: 2 single intravenous infusion liposomal amphotericin B; 3 combination of 10 days daily intramuscular paromomyci...
