The reference site collaborative network of the european innovation partnership on active and healthy ageing

Seventy four Reference Sites of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) have been recognised by the European Commission in 2016 for their commitment to excellence in investing and scaling up innovative solutions for active and healthy ageing. The Reference Site Collaborative Network (RSCN) brings together the EIP on AHA Reference Sites awarded by the European Commission, and Candidate Reference Sites into a single forum. The overarching goals are to promote cooperation, share and transfer good practice and solutions in the development and scaling up of health and care strategies, policies and service delivery models, while at the same time supporting the action groups in their work. The RSCN aspires to be recognized by the EU Commission as the principal forum and authority representing all EIP on AHA Reference Sites. The RSCN will contribute to achieve the goals of the EIP on AHA by improving health and care outcomes for citizens across Europe, and the development of sustainable economic growth and the creation of jobs

Global, regional, and national life expectancy, all-cause mortality, and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes of death, 1980-2015 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

Background Improving survival and extending the longevity of life for all populations requires timely, robust evidence on local mortality levels and trends. The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study (GBD 2015) provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015. These results informed an in-depth investigation of observed and expected mortality patterns based on sociodemographic measures. Methods We estimated all-cause mortality by age, sex, geography, and year using an improved analytical approach originally developed for GBD 2013 and GBD 2010. Improvements included refinements to the estimation of child and adult mortality and corresponding uncertainty, parameter selection for under-5 mortality synthesis by spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression, and sibling history data processing. We also expanded the database of vital registration, survey, and census data to 14 294 geography-year datapoints. For GBD 2015, eight causes, including Ebola virus disease, were added to the previous GBD cause list for mortality. We used six modelling approaches to assess cause-specific mortality, with the Cause of Death Ensemble Model (CODEm) generating estimates for most causes. We used a series of novel analyses to systematically quantify the drivers of trends in mortality across geographies. First, we assessed observed and expected levels and trends of cause-specific mortality as they relate to the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a summary indicator derived from measures of income per capita, educational attainment, and fertility. Second, we examined factors affecting total mortality patterns through a series of counterfactual scenarios, testing the magnitude by which population growth, population age structures, and epidemiological changes contributed to shifts in mortality. Finally, we attributed changes in life expectancy to changes in cause of death. We documented each step of the GBD 2015 estimation processes, as well as data sources, in accordance with Guidelines for Accurate and Transparent Health Estimates Reporting (GATHER). Findings Globally, life expectancy from birth increased from 61.7 years (95% uncertainty interval 61.4-61.9) in 1980 to 71.8 years (71.5-72.2) in 2015. Several countries in sub-Saharan Africa had very large gains in life expectancy from 2005 to 2015, rebounding from an era of exceedingly high loss of life due to HIV/AIDS. At the same time, many geographies saw life expectancy stagnate or decline, particularly for men and in countries with rising mortality from war or interpersonal violence. From 2005 to 2015, male life expectancy in Syria dropped by 11.3 years (3.7-17.4), to 62.6 years (56.5-70.2). Total deaths increased by 4.1% (2.6-5.6) from 2005 to 2015, rising to 55.8 million (54.9 million to 56.6 million) in 2015, but age-standardised death rates fell by 17.0% (15.8-18.1) during this time, underscoring changes in population growth and shifts in global age structures. The result was similar for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), with total deaths from these causes increasing by 14.1% (12.6-16.0) to 39.8 million (39.2 million to 40.5 million) in 2015, whereas age-standardised rates decreased by 13.1% (11.9-14.3). Globally, this mortality pattern emerged for several NCDs, including several types of cancer, ischaemic heart disease, cirrhosis, and Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. By contrast, both total deaths and age-standardised death rates due to communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional conditions significantly declined from 2005 to 2015, gains largely attributable to decreases in mortality rates due to HIV/AIDS (42.1%, 39.1-44.6), malaria (43.1%, 34.7-51.8), neonatal preterm birth complications (29.8%, 24.8-34.9), and maternal disorders (29.1%, 19.3-37.1). Progress was slower for several causes, such as lower respiratory infections and nutritional deficiencies, whereas deaths increased for others, including dengue and drug use disorders. Age-standardised death rates due to injuries significantly declined from 2005 to 2015, yet interpersonal violence and war claimed increasingly more lives in some regions, particularly in the Middle East. In 2015, rotaviral enteritis (rotavirus) was the leading cause of under-5 deaths due to diarrhoea (146 000 deaths, 118 000-183 000) and pneumococcal pneumonia was the leading cause of under-5 deaths due to lower respiratory infections (393 000 deaths, 228 000-532 000), although pathogen-specific mortality varied by region. Globally, the effects of population growth, ageing, and changes in age-standardised death rates substantially differed by cause. Our analyses on the expected associations between cause-specific mortality and SDI show the regular shifts in cause of death composition and population age structure with rising SDI. Country patterns of premature mortality (measured as years of life lost [YLLs]) and how they differ from the level expected on the basis of SDI alone revealed distinct but highly heterogeneous patterns by region and country or territory. Ischaemic heart disease, stroke, and diabetes were among the leading causes of YLLs in most regions, but in many cases, intraregional results sharply diverged for ratios of observed and expected YLLs based on SDI. Communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases caused the most YLLs throughout sub-Saharan Africa, with observed YLLs far exceeding expected YLLs for countries in which malaria or HIV/AIDS remained the leading causes of early death. Interpretation At the global scale, age-specific mortality has steadily improved over the past 35 years; this pattern of general progress continued in the past decade. Progress has been faster in most countries than expected on the basis of development measured by the SDI. Against this background of progress, some countries have seen falls in life expectancy, and age-standardised death rates for some causes are increasing. Despite progress in reducing age-standardised death rates, population growth and ageing mean that the number of deaths from most non-communicable causes are increasing in most countries, putting increased demands on health systems.

Diferencias sociodemográficas y protección ante el consumo de drogas legales

Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio fue comprobar si la edad de personas jóvenes potencialmente consumidoras de alcohol y tabaco, la situación laboral de los padres de aquellas, el hecho de que éstos estén separados o no y el número de hermanaos de aquellos podría influir en el nivel de protección ante el consumo de las sustancias descritas. Se utilizó una metodología cuasi-experimental con diseños de grupos no aleatorios, aplicando para el análisis estadístico de los datos la prueba ¿t-Student¿. La muestra estuvo compuesta de 534 personas, con edades comprendidas entre los 14 y 21 años de edad, todos estudiantes de Enseñanzas Secundarias Obligatoria y Bachillerato. Los resultados mostraron que algunas variables protectoras para el consumo habitual de alcohol y/o fumar tabaco tenían una presencia en la población estudiada diferente, dependiendo de la edad, del hecho de que trabaje uno o los dos progenitores y la posible situación de separación de los padres. En otras palabras, este estudio muestra diferencias sociodemográficas en protección ante el consumo de drogas legales

Síntesis de péptidos dendriméricos usando la estrategía del doble dímero

Se propone un enfoque apropiado para la síntesis de péptidos dendriméricos, el cual es desarrollado usando péptidos diméricos no protegidos a manera de bloques de síntesis. Nuestro modelo involucra la síntesis directa de un péptido dimérico que contiene cisteína y la subsiguiente oxidación del grupo sufhidrilo de la misma. La formación del enlace disulfuro para producir la molécula tetramérica de 90 residuos se lleva a cabo en una dosolución acuosa de dimetilsulfóxido. Este tipo de construcción de péptidos dendriméricos es denominado sistema de construcción de doble dímero y puede tener aplicación en la obtención de vacunas sintéticas

Une nouvelle observation de la fraie du mérou brun, Epinephelus marginatus (Lowe, 1834), en Méditerranée

Despite the considerable research effort devoted to witnessing the reproduction of the emblematic dusky grouper, Epinephelus marginatus, the underwater spawning event has rarely been observed. In this study, we document for the first time the spawning event of the dusky grouper in the Marine Protected Area (MPA) of Cabo de Palos-Islas Hormigas (SE Iberian Peninsula, Spain), which represents the first direct spawning record of the species in the last 20 years. The reproductive event occurred on a seamount located within the buffer protection zone of the MPA. On the evening of July 27, 2021, the spawning of two individuals, displaying silver streaked (male) and uniformly dark (female) colour patterns, was observed using SCUBA diving. The event was filmed and information on the environmental conditions in which reproduction occurred was collected. Success ful spawning was documented at dusk, just one minute before sunset, three days after the full moon and with almost no current. In line with published data, our observation supports sea water temperature and photoperiod as primary potential triggers of dusky grouper reproduction in the Mediterranean. The confirmation of grouper reproduction within a well-enforced MPA established more than 25 years ago suggests that the survival and reproductive output of this large predatory fish may be favoured by protection measures, stressing the critical role of MPAs for maintaining a viable population of this valuable species.Malgré les efforts de recherche considérables consacrés à l’observation de la reproduction de l’emblématique mérou brun, Epinephelus marginatus, la fraie en mer a été rarement observée. Dans cette étude, nous documen tons pour la première fois la fraie du mérou brun dans l’aire marine protégée (AMP) de Cabo de Palos-Islas Hor migas (sud-est de la péninsule Ibérique, Espagne), ce qui représente le premier enregistrement direct de ponte de l’espèce au cours des 20 dernières années. L’événement reproductif a eu lieu sur un socle rocheux situé dans la zone de protection tampon de l’AMP. Dans la soirée du 27 juillet 2021, la fraie de deux individus, l’un affichant les motifs de couleur striée argentée (mâle) et l’autre uniformément sombre (femelle), a été observée en plongée sous-marine. L’événement a été filmé et des informations sur les conditions environnementales dans lesquelles la reproduction a eu lieu ont été recueillies. La ponte effective a été observée au crépuscule, juste une minute avant le coucher du soleil, trois jours après la pleine lune et presque sans courant. En accord avec les données publiées, nos observations confirment que la température de l’eau de mer et la photopériode sont les principaux déclencheurs potentiels de la reproduction du mérou brun en Méditerranée. La confirmation de la reproduction du mérou au sein d’une AMP bien surveillée, établie il y a plus de 25 ans, suggère que la survie et la reproduction de ce grand poisson prédateur peuvent être favorisées par les mesures de protection, soulignant le rôle critique des AMP pour maintenir une population viable de cette espèce de grande valeur
