With the aim of exploring the usefulness of spatial analysis in the formulation of a strategy for schistosomi- asis japonica control in different environmental settings, a population-based database was established in Dangtu coun- ty, China. This database, containing the human prevalence of schistosomiasis at the village level from 2001 to 2004, was analyzed by directional trend analysis supported with ArcGIS 9.0 to select the optimum predictive approach. Based on the approach selected, different strata of prevalence were classified and the spatial distribution of human infection with Schistosoma japonicum was estimated. The second-order ordinary kriging approach of spatial analysis was found to be optimal for prediction of human prevalence of S. japonicum infection. The mean prediction error was close to 0 and the root-mean-square standardised error was close to 1. Starting with the different environmental settings for each stratum of transmission, four areas were classified according to human prevalence, and different strategies to control transmission of schistosomiasis were put forward.

This study China attempted to present the characterization of chronic pain and its association with obesity among the Chinese Chronic pain elderly. Cross-sectional survey Methods: A cross-sectional survey was undertaken among 6524 elderly individuals aged ≥60 years in China. Elderly Chronic pain was identified by self-reports based on the definition from the International Association for the Obesity Study of Pain (IASP). Body Mass Index (BMI) was measured to assess obesity. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the association between obesity and chronic pain. Results: The prevalence of chronic pain was 49.8%. The legs/feet (25.5%), back (23.2%), and neck/shoulder (14.6%) were the most salient locations for chronic pain.

There were eleven projects in Brazil, fourteen projects in China, and one project each in Ghana, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Peru, the Russian Federation, and Serbia.2 Four projects that closed before 2012 received additional investments in 2012. They were in Armenia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Total investment commitments (hereafter, investment, all in US$ unless otherwise indicated) in water and Public Disclosure Authorized sewerage projects amounted to $4 billion this year, up 50 percent from 2011. Of this amount, $3.9 billion was invested in new projects, while projects that closed before 2012 received additional investments worth $178 million.
