A preliminary study on the role of personal history of infectious and parasitic diseases on self-reported health across countries
Public Health. 2025. Vol. 242. P. 220–227.
Objectives
Infectious diseases are often associated with decline in quality of life. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between personal history of communicable, i.e., infectious and parasitic diseases and self-rated health.
Study design
Secondary analysis of a large dataset multi-country observational study.
Methods
We used a four-pronged analysis approach to investigate whether personal history of infectious and parasitic diseases is related to self-reported health, measured with a single item.
Results
Three of the four analyses found a small positive effect on self-reported health among those reporting a history of pathogen exposure. The meta-analysis found no support but large heterogeneity that was not reduced by two classifications of countries.
Conclusion
Personal history of infectious and parasitic diseases does not reduce self-reported health across a global sample.

As the negative socio-economic consequences of climate change increase, attention to adaptation issues is growing worldwide. Currently, most of the adaptation measures are reactive and not very large-scale. The more ambitious approach to climate change adaptation is evident in the idea of "transformational adaptation," which is gaining growing interest in both academic discussions and international ...

Developments across it increasingly reshape political, economic and social relations far beyond its borders. Understanding these dynamics is therefore both intellectually urgent and analytically demanding, requiring an interdisciplinary approach capable of moving beyond established categories and fragmented national perspectives.

Background
Predicted brain age is a widely used neuroimaging biomarker of brain maturation. However, limited normative pediatric datasets in model training raise concerns about systematic biases when applied to children. This study evaluates the hypothesis of predicted brain age overestimation in typically developing pediatric populations.
Objective
To analyze predicted brain age and brain delta in a large, age- ...

В обзоре интеллектуальное наследие В.И. Вернадского (1863-1945) рассматривается в контексте зарубежных инвайронментальных исследований (преимущественно на материале англоязычных публикаций двух последних десятилетий). Реконструируются ключевые идейные истоки мировоззрения Вернадского: влияние В.В. Докучаева, русского космизма и концепции ноосферы П. Тейяра де Шардена. Анализируются понятия научной системы Вернадского - «живое вещество», «биосфера» и «ноосфера»; прослеживается их рецепция в современных ...

Accurate classification of a patient with pulmonary hypertension (PH) into one of five groups is fundamental for appropriate disease management strategies. The time from disease onset to correct diagnosis is unacceptably long in many cases. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) develops as a consequence of venous thromboemboli, resulting in a more pronounced hereditary predisposition to ...

Introduction:
Understanding how we perceive and interpret the movements of other living beings is fundamental to social interaction, survival, and navigating our dynamic environment. Traditional studies of biological motion perception have predominantly employed simplified stimuli, such as point-light displays, which sacrifice ecological validity for experimental control.
Methods:
To overcome this limitation, we created a novel stimulus set featuring ...
