Stroke and Ageing
Stroke remains a leading global cause of death and long-term disability, affecting approximately 15 million people each year. Older adults, representing 75% of stroke incidents, often experience more severe outcomes due to higher rates of comorbid conditions. While incidence rates are declining in many high-income countries, the absolute number of strokes continues to rise worldwide due to population ageing and improved survival. There is a growing need for evidence-based, multidisciplinary community-focused interventions to support stroke recovery in older populations, yet much of the current research has been limited to high-income settings. Advances in technology offer new opportunities for extending care and rehabilitation beyond hospital settings.The Special Issue "Stroke and Ageing" brings together ten articles from Australia, China, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, covering a broad spectrum of healthcare challenges and innovations in post-stroke care. These contributions support a person-centred, lifespan-oriented approach to stroke management, with studies focused on physical rehabilitation, mental health, secondary prevention, technology-supported care, and end-of-life planning. Together, they offer insights into scalable, integrated solutions tailored to the diverse needs of older stroke survivors across different health systems.

The Worried Well Response to CBRN Events
Chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) weapons in the hands of a terrorist or a rogue state is one of the greatest threats to the security of the United States.2 These weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) can cause catastrophic loss of life and innumerable injuries and challenge the US health system beyond its capacity to provide care. Most hospitals do not have the beds, equipment, staff, or facilities to adequately respond to a WMD event.3,4 Compounding this problem is that many people who have minimal or no exposure to a CBRN agent will seek medical care and slow down medical treatment of genuinely affected patients. These "worried well" 5 patients may comprise as many as 20 times the number of "legitimate" patients6 and may become one of the most difficult aspects in dealing with WMD events.7 This paper is an examination of the worried well phenomenon. It looks at three CBRN events that are often noted for unaffected masses seeking medical care--the Goiania Radiation Incident, the Aum Shinrikyo Attack, and the Anthrax Letters Incident. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, this paper provides a better understanding of the worried well response. The literature often contains bold proclamations of the problem without a substantial analysis, and researchers cite cases but fail to provide any in-depth study of them.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Biological Weapons, the Poor Man's Nuke
Biological warfare is one leg of the triad of weapons of mass destruction (coupled with nuclear and chemical weapons). Biological weapons pose a significant threat to the United States military and public population across the spectrum of conflict. There is, however, little common knowledge of the insidious yet devastating potential of these weapons. This paper is written for the lay (that is non-technical) reader, outlining the history, threat, and possible countermeasures related to biological warfare agents. The intent is to heighten the awareness level regarding biological warfare as a military and terrorist threat.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Homeland Biological Warfare Consequence Management
In recent years, concern over potential terrorist WMD acts in the U.S has blossomed. Since 1995, the U.S. has passed legislation and published presidential decision directives designed to address the U.S. capabilities to respond to such an incident. Additionally, millions of dollars have been spent on domestic preparedness. Yet the numerous agencies involved (FEMA, DoJ, DoD, HHS, etc.) make a comprehensive, organized solution to the problem difficult. Focusing on the consequence management functions (incident identification, unity of effort, containment, treatment, security, fatality management and social response), the capabilities and shortfalls of local, state and federal assets are examined. This paper highlights significant progress in areas including treatment supply stockpiles and surge capability by the federal government and National Guard to support local efforts.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The Impact of Quarantine on Military Operations
Quarantine is an effective public health measure that may be the best and last option for disease containment, especially when the diagnosis has not been established or no treatment plan exists for a given disease. The decision process for an installation commander must be different than in a civilian setting if the goal is to maintain operational capability. The focus must be on the initial 72 hours since the ramifications of a delay in action could be devastating to successful mission accomplishment and may result in unintentional global spread of disease. Given the inherent "fog of war," it may not be clear whether an outbreak has occurred, however early use of quarantine implementing the full spectrum of options gives a commander the best opportunity for disease containment while maintaining operational capability. This strategy is not dependent on the source or type of biologic agent encountered, but should be equally effective for a terrorist attack or a natural disease outbreak.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Occupational Exposure Sampling Strategy Manual
One of the most important steps toward reducing the risk of impaired health resulting from inhalation of toxic chemicals is the measurement and evaluation of employee exposure to these chemicals. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 recognizes the critical importance of employee exposure measurements. Section 6(b)(7) of the Act requires that occupational safety and health standards promulgated by the Secretary of Labor provide for monitoring or measuring employee exposure at such locations and in such a manner as may be necessary for the protection of employees. Section 8(c)(3) of the Act directs regulations be issued requiring employers to maintain accurate records of employee exposure to those potentially toxic materials that are required to be monitored under Section 6.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

How the Presence of a Risk Ladder, Time Interval Comparison, and Smoking Comparison Affect Risk Perception
The objective of this study is to increase the knowledge available on the relative effectiveness of risk ladders as a presentation format for explaining risk magnitudes to the public. An experiment was conducted to test the hypotheses that an individual's risk perception varies with the presence of a risk ladder, time interval comparison, and smoking comparison. Subjects were AFIT Professional Continuing Education students, asked to assume a particular level of a health hazard in their homes, to read a brochure explaining the hazard, and then to complete a questionnaire. Results demonstrated that subjects exposed to a graphical risk ladder perceived lower levels of risk than subjects not exposed to a risk ladder. Also, the study found that time interval and smoking comparisons did not significantly affect the risk perception of the participants. These findings suggest that the discontinuity between expert views and the public perceptions of health risk can be bridged by effectively utilizing risk ladders when presenting risk magnitudes to the public.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Fluoride in Drinking Water
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 67% of the 246 million people in the United States who receive their water from a public water system received fluoridated water in 2000. One of the CDC's national health goals is to increase the proportion of the U.S. population served by community water systems with "optimally" fluoridated drinking water to 75% by 2010. The decision to add fluoride to a water supply is made by local or state governments. The U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) has recommended an optimal fluoridation level in the range of 0.7 to 1.2 milligrams per liter (mg/L) for the prevention of tooth decay.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

EPA Guide for Infectious Waste Management
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Combating Biological Terrorism From Imported Food
There is a threat that a terrorist or terrorist organization will use access to the US food supply to kill or sicken Americans by contaminating imported food products from Mexico. The food that Americans eat is coming more and more often from foreign countries such as Mexico. Foodborne diseases infect nearly fifty million people in the US each year, resulting in over three thousand deaths. There are many terrorist organizations that would like to deliberately contaminate American food. Drug cartels and terrorist organizations currently operate in Mexico, one of the leading food importers into the US. The purpose of this research was to determine what actions should be taken in response to the threat of biological terrorism through deliberately-contaminated food supplied from Mexico. While Americans enjoy the safest and most abundant food supply in the world, this thesis made several recommendations. First, laboratories and public health officers should continue to increase their ability to detect and identify foodborne outbreaks. Second, consumers who become sickened by foodborne pathogens should report their sickness to either the local hospital or to the local health department even if they choose to treat the sickness at home. Third, the US should increase the production of food that Americans eat with the goal of producing a self sufficient food supply. Fourth, consumers should be better informed on food safety issues to minimize the effects of bioterrorism.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Triple Threat
Military forces in Sub-Saharan Africa, including peacekeepers, rank among the highest population groups most affected by sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. These individuals are called upon to protect national security from threats such as terrorism, crime, internal and external conflict; serving at home and across national borders. For armed forces personnel, several key factors make them vulnerable to STIs: the work environment, mobility, and age. These risk factors expose all the population to HIV/AIDS infection, military and civilians. According to the Joint UN Program on AIDS (UNAIDS), soldiers are two to five times more likely to contract STIs than the civilian population. In fact, during conflict, the rate of STI infection can increase significantly. HIV/AIDS pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa represents an obvious danger to security; if left unchecked, could compromise military effectiveness, which could then lead to instability within the region.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

How the Presence of a Risk Ladder, Time Interval Comparison, and Smoking Comparison Affect Risk Perception
The objective of this study is to increase the knowledge available on the relative effectiveness of risk ladders as a presentation format for explaining risk magnitudes to the public. An experiment was conducted to test the hypotheses that an individual's risk perception varies with the presence of a risk ladder, time interval comparison, and smoking comparison. Subjects were AFIT Professional Continuing Education students, asked to assume a particular level of a health hazard in their homes, to read a brochure explaining the hazard, and then to complete a questionnaire. Results demonstrated that subjects exposed to a graphical risk ladder perceived lower levels of risk than subjects not exposed to a risk ladder. Also, the study found that time interval and smoking comparisons did not significantly affect the risk perception of the participants. These findings suggest that the discontinuity between expert views and the public perceptions of health risk can be bridged by effectively utilizing risk ladders when presenting risk magnitudes to the public.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
