Resumen

Los eventos de reunión masiva presentan importantes riesgos para la salud pública, incluida la propagación de enfermedades infecciosas y la transmisión de bacterias resistentes a los antibióticos. La mejora de la vigilancia y la investigación es crucial para hacer frente a estos desafíos sanitarios mundiales.

Área de la Ciencia:

Salud pública
Epidemiología
Control de las enfermedades infecciosas

Sus antecedentes:

Las reuniones masivas presentan desafíos complejos de salud pública.
La serie Lancet de 2014 estableció la medicina de las reuniones masivas como una disciplina.
Esta revisión examina los problemas de salud pública de las reuniones masivas de 2013-2018.

Objetivo del estudio:

Revisar las principales cuestiones de salud pública derivadas de los eventos de reunión masiva (2013-2018).
Para resaltar datos sobre enfermedades infecciosas, resistencia a los antibióticos, bajas masivas y enfermedades no transmisibles.
Discutir las prioridades para la investigación y la inversión en prevención y vigilancia.

Principales métodos:

Revisión de los datos de salud pública y de investigación de los eventos de reunión masiva (2013-2018).
Análisis de la transmisión de enfermedades infecciosas, bacterias resistentes a los antibióticos, accidentes masivos y enfermedades no transmisibles.
Centrarse en las cargas del sistema de salud y las implicaciones para la salud mundial.

Principales resultados:

Las reuniones masivas facilitan la transmisión de enfermedades infecciosas y bacterias resistentes a los antibióticos.
Los eventos con asistentes internacionales y la alta interacción de la multitud ejercen presión sobre los sistemas de salud anfitriones.
Existen preocupaciones con respecto a la globalización de la resistencia a los antibióticos de las peregrinaciones religiosas como Kumbh Mela y Hajj.

Conclusiones:

Las reuniones masivas requieren una sólida planificación y vigilancia de la salud pública.
La lucha contra las enfermedades infecciosas y la resistencia a los antibióticos es fundamental.
Se necesitan más investigaciones e inversiones para estrategias eficaces de prevención y gestión.

Atomic Mass

Atomic Mass

Atoms — and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them — are extremely small. For example, a carbon atom weighs less than 2 × 10−23 g. When describing the properties of tiny objects such as atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu). The amu was originally defined based on hydrogen, the lightest element, then later in terms of oxygen. Since 1961, it has been defined with regard to the most abundant isotope of carbon, atoms of which...

Molar Mass

Molar Mass

The identity of a substance is defined not only by the types of atoms or ions it contains but by the quantity of each type of atom or ion. For example, water, H2O, and hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, are alike in that their respective molecules are composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. However, because a hydrogen peroxide molecule contains two oxygen atoms, as opposed to the water molecule, which has only one, the two substances exhibit very different properties.

Mass and Weight

Mass and Weight

Mass and weight are often used interchangeably in everyday conversation. For example, medical records often show our weight in kilograms, but never in the correct units of newtons. In physics, however, there is an important distinction. Weight is the pull of the Earth on an object. It depends on the distance from the center of the Earth. Weight dramatically varies if we leave the Earth's surface, unlike mass, which does not vary with location. On the Moon, for example, the...

Mass Concreting

Mass Concreting

Mass concreting refers to the process of placing large volumes of concrete, such as in gravity dams. The heat generated during the cement hydration process and differential cooling rates within the concrete mass can lead to a temperature gradient, which can result in thermal cracks in the concrete mass.
To reduce the risk of such cracking, the concrete mix may incorporate low-heat cement and pozzolans to reduce the temperature rise. Pre-cooled angular aggregates and water-reducing admixtures...

Atomic Number and Mass Number

Atomic Number and Mass Number

The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is its atomic number (Z). This is the defining trait of an element. Its value determines the identity of the atom. For example, any atom that contains six protons is the element carbon and has the atomic number 6, regardless of how many neutrons or electrons it may have. A neutral atom must contain the same number of positive and negative charges, so the number of protons equals the number of electrons. This means that the atomic number also...
