    Note In June 2019, Wageningen University and the World Health Organization organised a conference to critically reflect on the progress in the Global Vector Control Response 2017-2030. Where do we stand? What are the challenges? What are the roles of the various stakeholders? These were all questions and topics that were discussed. - Aus der Einleitung

    Abstract Background and aims: Despite the availability of highly effective direct-acting antiviral therapy, chronic hepatitis C (CHC) continues to cause a major public health burden. In many high-income countries, treatment rates have been declining, which was exacerbated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, threatening the ability to meet the World Health Organization (WHO)'s targets for eliminating HCV as a public health threat by 2030. We sought to model the impact of CHC in Canada, a resource-rich country with ongoing immigration from HCV-endemic regions; which relies exclusively on risk-based screening for case identification.
    Approach and results: We developed an agent-based model to characterize the HCV epidemic in a high-income country with ongoing immigration. Combinations of prevention such as harm reduction, screening, and treatment strategies were considered. Model parameters were estimated from the literature and calibrated against historical HCV data. Sensitivity analyses were performed to assess uncertainty. Under the current status quo of risk-based screening, we predict the incidence of CHC-induced decompensated cirrhosis, HCC, and liver-related deaths would decrease by 79.4%, 76.1%, and 62.1%, respectively, between 2015 and 2030, but CHC incidence would only decrease by 11.1%. The results were sensitive to HCV transmission rate and an annual number of people initiating treatment.
    Conclusions: Current risk-based screening, and subsequent treatment, will be inadequate to achieve WHO goals. With extensive scale-up in screening, and treatment, the mortality target may be achievable, but the target for preventing new CHC cases is unlikely reachable, highlighting the importance of developing enhanced harm-reduction strategies for HCV elimination.

    Abstract Social determinants of health are important in designing effective interventions for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. This systematic review characterises equity-oriented, social determinants of health-focused HBV interventions, and describes their effectiveness in terms of the prevention, care, or treatment of HBV in high-income countries. We searched electronic databases for central concepts of 'HBV', 'equity', 'social determinants of health', 'intervention', and 'Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries'. Screening and data abstraction were conducted independently by two reviewers. Data were abstracted from 66 studies; articles with a comparative study design (n=36) were included in the narrative synthesis, highlighting social determinants of health domains of interventions, HBV-relevant health outcomes, and extra-health social determinants of health effects (ie, those effects that extend beyond health outcomes). Synthesis aligned with six emergent themes corresponding to HBV prevention and care: knowledge and education, diagnosis and screening, immunisation, care initiation, engagement with clinical care and treatment, and upstream prevention. Studies presented a heterogeneous array of HBV-relevant health outcomes. Most interventions were tailored for social determinants of health domains of race, ethnicity, culture, and language; drug use; and socioeconomic status. Across the themes, at least two-thirds of interventions showed comparative effectiveness for addressing HBV. Extra-health social determinants of health outcomes were observed for two studies. Considerable diversity in population-level approaches was observed regarding intervention goals and effectiveness; most interventions were effective at enhancing the prevention, care, or treatment of HBV.

    Abstract Gegenstand des vorliegenden Berichts ist die Akzeptanz flächengebundener Agrarumwelt- und Klimamaßnahmen (AUKM) sowie der flächengebundenen Förderung des Ökologischen Landbaus durch das NRW-Programm Ländlicher Raum 2014 bis 2022. Die ersten Kapitel bilden finanzielle Inputs und Förderumfänge für das gesamte Portfolio der AUKM und des Ökolandbaus ab. Folgende, vertiefte Betrachtungen im Sinne von Teilnehmenden/Nicht-Teilnehmenden-Vergleichen, standörtlicher und regionsspezifischer Auswertungen, betriebszweigbezogener Analysen und Zeitreihenverläufe sind den Maßnahmen vorbehalten, die über größere Verpflichtungsumfänge verfügten und entsprechende Datenschichtungen zuließen. Dies sind mit Ausnahme von Blüh- und Schonstreifen sowie Uferrand- und Erosionsschutzstreifen alle AUKM-Teilmaßnahmen; nämlich die Förderangebote a) Anbau vielfältiger Kulturen im Ackerbau (VK), b) Anbau winterharter Zwischenfrüchte (ZWF), c) die Extensive Grünlandnutzung (EXG), d) Vertragsmuster des Vertragsnaturschutzes (VNS) sowie e) Einführungs- und Beibehaltungsförderung des Ökologischen Landbaus. NRW ordnete die jeweiligen Fördermaßnahmen primären und sekundären Umweltressourcenzielen zu. Bis auf den Anbau winterharter Zwischenfrüchte und die Uferrand- und Erosionsschutzstreifen wurden alle AUKM und die Förderung des Ökologischen Landbaus mit prioritärem Ziel dem Schutz der biologischen Vielfalt (SPB 4A) zugeordnet. Die beiden Ausnahmen verfolgen prioritär Wasserschutzziele (SPB 4B). In der zurückliegenden Förderperiode wurden laut der Jahresdurchführungsberichte bis einschließlich 2022 rund 353 Mio. Euro oder rd. 30 % der öffentlichen Mittel für AUKM und weitere 135 Mio. (11,5 %) für den Ökolandbau verausgabt. Im Vergleich zur Förderperiode 2007 bis 2013 wird der relative Mittelanteil für AUKM und Ökologischen Landbau fortgesetzt. Mit gut 68 % banden der Vertragsnaturschutz (35 %) und der Anbau vielfältiger Kulturen im Ackerbau (33 %) das Gros der verausgabten öffentlichen Mittel für AUKM .

    Abstract Objectives: This study aims to determine how prevalent suspected cognitive impairment is in older people visiting hearing aid dispensers, and to assess whether hearing aid dispensers' judgment on cognition was in accordance with the outcome of a cognitive screening.
    Design: This observational study was conducted between April and May 2022.
    Setting and participants: Four private hearing aid retail stores in the Netherlands, where cognitive impairment was screened in people aged ≥60 years.
    Methods: The Mini-Cog was used for cognitive screening. In addition, hearing aid dispensers were asked to provide their professional judgment if they suspected cognitive impairment.
    Results: Of the total 239 older individuals screened, 133 were men [56%, mean age: 79 years (SD 8.6)], and 51 (21.3%) had abnormal outcomes on the Mini-Cog test. The recognition of possible cognitive impairment by the hearing aid dispensers compared to the outcome of the Mini-Cog resulted in correct predictions for 183 of the 239 individuals.
    Conclusion and implications: Cognitive screening in hearing-impaired older adults who visit a hearing aid dispenser suggests that cognitive impairment might be present in approximately 1 in 5 individuals. Hearing aid dispensers' response to the presence of a cognitive impairment was in 2 of 3 in accordance with an abnormal outcome on cognitive screening. To improve hearing care for people with cognitive impairment, it might be important to enhance hearing care professionals' recognition of cognitive impairment in older individuals.
