مستخلص: Like those made ill by 9/11, many Covid long-haulers feel that the government is responsible for their acquired disability because of its failures to adequately mitigate Covid infections, provide safe workplaces, or publicly warn of the harms of long Covid after the disease was identified in the spring of 2020. Similarly, Covid long-haulers are pushing for a new NIH institute dedicated to studying diseases like long Covid, ME/CFS, and similar post-infectious illnesses - a National Institute of Complex Chronic Conditions. According to #MEAction, the group that organizes #MillionsMissing, nearly half the current cases of long Covid meet the criteria for ME/CFS, and the majority of people with ME/CFS today are Covid-19 long-haulers. Two to four million Americans may be out of work as a result of long Covid, and people with long Covid and ME/CFS often struggle to access what are already often insufficient disability benefits.

مستخلص: India's healthcare system, despite various initiatives implemented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, still faces challenges in meeting the needs of its 1.4 billion population. Preventable diseases like tuberculosis and diarrheal diseases remain leading causes of death, while chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer are increasing. Low healthcare spending, accounting for less than 3% of the country's GDP in 2020, contributes to poor outcomes. Healthcare has not been a major political topic in India, with voters prioritizing development and anticorruption. However, initiatives like the Swachh Bharat Mission and the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) have made progress in improving sanitation and providing public health insurance. Challenges remain in terms of awareness and accessibility to healthcare services, as well as the quality of care provided. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: They claimed that the investment bank's ownership "ultimately saved over 1,000 jobs" and that the supply shortages were not specific to the hospital.) Johnson, the Kaiser Permanente nurse, said that there are still hundreds of open, unfilled positions at her hospital. FEATURES IN THE EARLY HOURS OF JULY 26, 2021, ABOUT 200 NURSES began to assemble outside of Community First Medical Center in Chicago. One study found that if hospitals in Illinois stuck to a ratio of four patients to each nurse, they would not only avoid nearly 1,600 deaths but also save over $117 million a year thanks to shorter patient stays. "Hospitals have taken advantage of that and have long put nurses into these impossible working conditions because nurses will continue to show up.". [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: Long COVID, a condition characterized by ongoing health problems that persist for four or more weeks after initial COVID-19 infection, continues to affect tens of millions of Americans. Symptoms of long COVID are wide-ranging and can include fatigue, difficulty thinking, difficulty breathing, and joint or muscle pain. Despite the availability of vaccines and treatments for COVID-19, there are currently no approved treatments or tests for long COVID. Concerns have been raised about the lack of support and recognition for those suffering from long COVID, and some individuals feel abandoned by the government and public health authorities. The recent relaxation of isolation guidance by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has also raised concerns about the potential for further spread of long COVID. Research has shown that long COVID can have significant cognitive and physical effects, and it can affect individuals of all ages, including young adults and children. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: Incidentally, we had also used this scale to measure gay and bisexual men's risk appraisal in relation to HIV infection, showing variation in relation to different social and demographic identity characteristics (Jaspal et al., 2019). In Lebanon, for instance, gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men are at particular risk of identity threat, psychological adversity and poor health outcomes. When I was invited to deliver a keynote lecture at the 18th European Congress of Psychology 2023 - in Brighton, where my own institution is based - I knew immediately what I wanted to talk about. In this study, we adapted an extant psychometric scale that had been originally developed to measure one's own risk of HIV/ AIDS to assess one's own risk of contracting the novel coronavirus and its associated disease.
