Background: Data on burden of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and its attributable risk factors are valuable for policymaking. We aimed to estimate the burden and risk factors for PAD from 1990 to 2019.
Methods: We extracted the data on prevalence, incide..., death, years lived with disability (YLDs), and years of life lost (YLLs) from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 to measure PAD burden. Moreover, the attributable burden to PAD risk factors was also estimated.
Results: Globally, in 2019, 113,443,017 people lived with PAD and 10,504,092 new cases occurred, resulting in 74,063 deaths, 500,893 YLDs, and 1,035,487 YLLs. The absolute numbers of PAD prevalent and incident cases significantly increased between 1990 and 2019, contrasting with the decline trends in age-standardized prevalence and incidence rates. However, no statistically significant changes were detected in the global age-standardized death or YLL rates. The burden of PAD and its temporal trends varied significantly by location, gender, age group, and social-demographic status. Among all potentially modifiable risk factors, age-standardized PAD deaths worldwide were primarily attributable to high fasting plasma glucose, followed by high systolic blood pressure, tobacco, kidney dysfunction, diet high in sodium, and lead exposure.
Conclusion: PAD remained a serious public health problem worldwide. More strategies aimed at implementing cost-effective interventions and addressing modifiable risk factors should be carried out, especially in regions with high or increasing burden.

El Ministerio de Salud de la Nación, a través de la Dirección Nacional de Emergencias Sanitarias ha elaborado esta sencilla guía dirigida a la comunidad para brindarle elementos básicos para prevenir, reconocer y asistir a eventuales víctimas de in...s en el hogar, la escuela, el trabajo, o la vía pública.
El objetivo de esta GPC es proporcionar recomendaciones para el tamizaje organizado
del CCR en el territorio nacional, permitiendo el acceso equitativo a medidas de
prevención y detección temprana de la enfermedad con el fin de disminuir la
inciden...a y la mortalidad por el CCR en Argentina. Esta guía está destinada a todos
aquellos trabajadores de la salud que desarrollen actividades de prevención del CCR.
La población objetivo incluye a aquellos individuos de riesgo promedio, sin
antecedentes personales ni familiares de CCR ni adenomas. Sin embargo, aquellos
individuos identificados con presencia de síntomas sospechosos de CCR, individuos
con incremento del riesgo para el desarrollo de esta enfermedad (síndrome de Lynch,
PAF, PAFA, poliposis hamartomatosas, síndrome de poliposis aserrada, EII, etc.) o con
antecedentes de resecciones de pólipos o adenomas, deberán ser priorizados en el
seguimiento o derivados a atención especializada consecuente, según las
recomendaciones vigentes.

Abstract: We report 77 cases of occupational exposures for 57 healthcare workers at the Ebola Treatment Center in Conakry, Guinea, during the Ebola virus disease outbreak in 2014-2015. Despite the high i... of 3.5 occupational exposures/healthcare worker/year, only 18 percent of workers were at high risk for transmission, and no infections occurred.
Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective pack...
