This paper analyses the socioeconomic determinants of life expectancy in Southeastern Europe countries highlighting most important factors that can affect this part Europe. 
 Two Panel Data Regression with fixed–effects model was applied for 20 years from 2000 to 2019. Eight and environmental explanatory variables were used verify their influence on expectancy.
 The analysis highlight...

ABSTRACT The objective of the study investigates the effects of health on changing labor force participation during Pakistan's economic transition in the 1980s, a period of several economic liberalization and international integration on the health and financial sectors. The study employed the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) co-integration technique to estimate the short- and long-run ela...

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) are important causes of diarrhea in humans and animals worldwide. Although ruminant animals are the main source of STEC, diarrhea due to this pathotype is very low in Bangladesh where ETEC remains the predominant group associated with childhood diarrhea. In the present study, E. coli strains (n = 35) isolated from ...

Should We Extend the Role of Private Social Expenditure? Some people make great claims about the advantages to be gained from greater reliance on the private sector for the provision of social protection. Many of the claims for great macroeconomic advantages do not stand up to scrutiny. However, there is some reason to hope that private provision might promote microeconomic efficiency and servi...

UNLABELLED The German AMNOG healthcare reform includes a mandatory early-benefit-assessment (EBA) at launch. As per German social code, EBA is based on registration trials and includes evaluation of the patient-relevant effect of the new medicines compared to an appropriate comparator as defined by the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA). Current EBA decisions released have unveiled issues regarding...

BACKGROUND Postweaning diarrhoea (PWD) in pigs is usually the main infectious problem of large-scale farms and is responsible for significant losses worldwide. The disease is caused mainly by enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) and Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC). In this study a total of 101 E. coli isolated from pigs with PWD in Slovakia were characterized using phenotypic and genotypic metho...

BACKGROUND In the day surgery system are intertwined elements of state health policy, health care payers' interests, employers of health care system, as well as the interests and wishes of patients. A problem in the health policy is to find a way to regulate ambulatory and short-term surgical procedures, which are hardly distinguishable, and still fulfil the requirements of transparent financin...

Escherichia coli morphotype E flagellar filaments have a characteristic surface pattern of short-pitch loops when examined by electron microscopy. Seven of the 50 known E. coli H (flagellar antigen) serotypes (H1, H7, H12, H23, H45, H49, and H51) produce morphotype E filaments. Polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify flagellin structural (fliC) genes from E. coli strains producing morphot...

Infectious diseases have a large economic and social burden that is magnified by infected travelers who spread diseases to the locations they visit. In this paper, I study malaria transmission in Senegal by quantifying the relationship between travel and spread of the disease and showing its implications for targeting policies. Using individual mobile phone records for 9 million users in 2013, ...
