Sanitation, food control, vaccines, and antibiotics have reduced the toll of communicable diseases, saving millions of lives. Smallpox was eradicated in 1977, and poliomyelitis eradication is close. Measles mortality has reduced drastically yet outbreaks occur where immunization lags.

Socioenvironmental factors of communicable and non-communicable diseases [PDF]
From a clinical case of a tuberculosis diagnosed in Rennes in a Congolese patient, we highlight the need for new socioenvironmental variables to apprehend hazards in social contexts. Beyond the traditional aggregate variables describing socioeconomic characteristics, a collaboration between epidemiology, clinical care, immunology and the social ...

Communicable Disease Control [PDF]
I wish to note two errors in Table 4, page 1582,1 in the number of plague cases reported. In 1971 only two cases were reported rather than 12; neither case died. In 1965, after several revisions, the final case count was 8(2 and CDC Plague Bulletin Number 1, page 2, 1970).

Communicable and non-communicable disease [PDF]
A clinical image would seem an obvious choice for the BMJ ’s front cover. But each time we decide to use one we have to think an extra thought—will it upset the postal workers or readers’ children? Anything remotely gory tends to cause complaints. In the past we have covered potentially alarming or offensive images with an opaque wrapper.

Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of the heart failure cases. It is characterised by microvascular dysfunction, associated with reduced pericyte coverage and diminished STAT3 expression in pericytes. Loss of STAT3 impairs pericyte adhesion, promotes senescence, and activates a pro‐fibrotic gene program.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Reframing non-communicable diseases [PDF]
Proposer de travailler sur les maladies chroniques non-infectieuses comme "maladies socialement transmises" ("socially transmitted conditions") prolonge un lieu commun partage depuis plusieurs decennies en epidemiologie sur le caractere plurifactoriel de ces maladies. Cela ne doit pas empecher de penser que les maladies infectieuses doivent aussi etre
