“…In Africa, the childhood mortality rate is 92 per 1000 live births which are 15 times more than that of well-resourced countries [ 9 ]. Most childhood deaths from preventable communicable diseases and malnutrition were related to poor environmental health, poverty and lack of knowledge [ 10 ].…”

BackgroundChildhood mortality remains high in resource-limited third world countries. Most childhood deaths in hospital often occur within the first 24 h of admission. Many of these deaths are from preventable causes. This study aims to describe the patterns of mortality in children presenting to the pediatric emergency department.MethodsThis was a five-year chart review of deaths in pediatric patients aged 7 days to 13 years presenting to the Tikur Anbessa Specialized Tertiary Hospital (TASTH) from January 2012 to December 2016. Data were collected using a pretested, structured checklist, and analyzed using the SPSS Version 20. Multivariate analysis by logistic regression was carried out to estimate any measures of association between variables of interest and the primary outcome of death.ResultsThe proportion of pediatric emergency department (PED) deaths was 4.1% (499 patients) out of 12,240 PED presentations. This translates to a mortality rate of 8.2 deaths per 1000 patients per year. The three top causes of deaths were pneumonia, congestive heart failure (CHF) and sepsis. Thirty two percent of the deaths occurred within 24 h of presentation with 6.5% of the deaths being neonates and the most common co-morbid illness was malnutrition (41.1%).Multivariate analysis revealed that shortness of breath [AOR=2.45, 95% CI (1.22-4.91)], late onset of signs and symptoms [AOR=3.22, 95% CI (1.34-7.73)], fever [AOR=3.17, 95% CI (1.28-7.86)], and diarrhea [AOR=3.36, 95% CI (1.69-6.67)] had significant association with early mortality.ConclusionThe incidence of pediatric emergency mortality was high in our study. A delay in presentation of more than 48 hours, diarrheal diseases and shortness of breath were significantly associated with early pediatric mortality. Early identification and intervention are required to reduce pediatric emergency mortality.

The main aim of the study is to present the history and the state of research in Polish medical geography. Its origins are the same as in world geography, i.e. it is associated with non-geographers. However, it was developing very slowly till the mid-1980s. Since then a slow increase in the number of publications has been noted (with a noticeable predominance of studies in disease geography over health geography). But still, it must be emphasised that medical geography in Poland is poorly developed.

“…Powszechnie dostępne szczepienia przeciw grypie należą do podstawowych zabiegów prewencyjnych w krajach Unii Europejskiej, w których postęp cywilizacji i poprawa warunków życia sprawiły, że gruźlica wydawała się mieć marginalne znaczenie. Eradykacja tej choroby nie jest jednak możliwa, z uwagi na działania wojenne lub kryzys powodujący zubożenie społeczeństwa, a także na ścisłe powiązanie z wirusem HIV, gdzie chorzy są wyjątkowo podatni na zakażenia, a co za tym idzie odtworzenie gruźlicy (Michalski, 2016). Systematycznie wzrastająca liczba przypadków pokrywa się z największym skokiem salda migracji i w roku 2015 przyjmuje największe wartości.…”

Streszczenie. Współczesne migracje stawiają przed każdym krajem-celem migrantów wiele wyzwań. Poza problemami politycznymi, społecznymi i ekonomicznymi, ważnym problemem wynikającym ze skali migracji jest kwestia zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa epidemiologicznego. Obecny kryzys migracyjny w krajach 'starej UE', a zwłaszcza w Niemczech, sprzyja rozprzestrzenianiu się chorób zakaźnych. Dostępne dane dla Niemiec pokazują istotny statystycznie wzrost zachorowalności na gruźlicę, syfilis, krztusiec, WZW B, a nawet na malarię. Wzrost liczby osób chorych stwarza realne zagrożenie epidemiologiczne dla ludności w Niemczech. Niekontrolowany ruch wewnątrz państw UE oraz wysoki poziom dostępności transportowej czyni to zagrożenie jeszcze bardziej poważnym.
