Published: March 7, 2025

Climate change is making the existing health problems worse and also introducing new problem therefore calls for a wider evaluation of climate sensitive global diseases. The review sought to assess collate quantitative qualitative evidence on effects health, more specifically, infectious respiratory diseases, impacts extreme weather events as well implications mental with view establishing appropriate sustainable resilience public measures policies. A scoping observational studies carried out between years 2000 2024, synthesized information climate-sensitive outcomes: severe events, illnesses. This analysis was based data from PubMed, Scopus, Web Science Cochrane Library, where appropriate, utilizing meta-extraction Meta-analysis techniques. total 3077 were screened, 96 articles included analysis, highlighting significant risks posed by change. Key areas concern identified include cardiovascular conditions, food- water-borne illnesses, effects. Rising temperatures variable rainfall patterns increase incidence diseases like malaria (up 50%) dengue (8–10% per 1 °C rise). Extreme such heatwaves floods, contribute 30% rise in 25% conditions.

Plant-based diets and total and cause-specific mortality: a meta-analysis of prospective studies

Frontiers in Nutrition, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: Jan. 20, 2025

Objective The adherence to plant-based diets has been shown positively impact longevity by reducing the incidence and severity of lifestyle-related diseases. Previous studies on association dietary pattern, as evaluated index (PDI), healthy (hPDI) unhealthy (uPDI), with mortality risk have reported inconsistent results. We performed present meta-analysis summarize evidence this quantify potential dose–response relationship based all available cohort studies. Methods A comprehensive literature search systematic review relevant articles up October 2024 was in PubMed Scopus. summary estimates (RR) 95% confidence interval (CI) for highest versus lowest category PDIs, hPDIs uPDIs were calculated. Dose–response also reporting categorical at least three quantitative levels uPDIs. Results total 11 eligible (13 datasets) eventually included meta-analysis. Participants quintile both PDI hPDI had a significantly decreased all-cause (pooled HR = 0.85; CI: 0.80–0.90; pooled 0.86; 0.81–0.92) compared participants quintile. In contrast, uPDI associated an increased 1.20; 1.11–1.31). showed that there non-linear between or level ( p 0.001 < non-linearity, respectively). No observed 0.596 non-linearity). Conclusion Greater pattern lower mortality, whereas risk. Thus, promoting may be key strategy improving public health burden diet-related mortality.

The challenge of antimicrobial resistance in the Asia-Pacific: a pediatric perspective

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 37(2), P. 116 - 123

Published: Jan. 30, 2025

The densely populated Asia Pacific region is home to 600 million children, and suffers from a significant burden of morbidity mortality due infections associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). We aimed identify the drivers, challenges potential opportunities alter AMR within region. Despite high borne by region, there are limited (and geographically imbalanced) published data delineate contemporary epidemiology serious multidrug-resistant bacterial in children. Furthermore, impacted overcrowded poorly resourced healthcare facilities, insufficient microbiological resources, widespread community environmental antibiotic use leading efficacy for frequently prescribed antibiotics. Vaccine coverage also inadequate inequitable, further driving infectious disease overuse) There many implementing stewardship infection prevention control programs reduce excessive children across yet locally-driven strategies have successfully reduced overuse some settings, should be replicated. Reducing will require improved resourcing, including better access diagnosis, multidisciplinary approaches enhance prescribing.

Antiviral Surface Coatings: From Pandemic Lessons to Visible-Light-Activated Films

Materials, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 18(4), P. 906 - 906

Published: Feb. 19, 2025

The increasing need for effective antiviral strategies has led to the development of innovative surface coatings combat transmission viruses via fomites. aim this review is critically assess efficacy in mitigating virus transmission, particularly those activated by visible light. alarm created COVID-19 pandemic, including initial uncertainty about mechanisms its spread, attracted attention fomites as a possible source transmission. However, later research shown that surface-dependent infection be carefully evaluated experimentally. By briefly analyzing virus-surface interactions and their implications, highlights importance shifting solutions. In particular, visible-light-activated use reactive oxygen species such singlet disrupt viral components have emerged promising options. These can allow obtaining safe, continuous, long-term active biocidal surfaces suitable various applications, healthcare environments public spaces. This indicates while significance fomite context-dependent, advances material science provide actionable pathways designing multifunctional, coatings. innovations align with lessons learned from pandemic pave way sustainable, broad-spectrum solutions capable addressing future health challenges.

Accelerating Disease Model Parameter Extraction: An LLM-Based Ranking Approach to Select Initial Studies for Literature Review Automation

Machine Learning and Knowledge Extraction, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 7(2), P. 28 - 28

Published: March 26, 2025

As climate change transforms our environment and human intrusion into natural ecosystems escalates, there is a growing demand for disease spread models to forecast plan the next zoonotic outbreak. Accurate parametrization of these requires data from diverse sources, including scientific literature. Despite abundance publications, manual extraction via systematic literature reviews remains significant bottleneck, requiring extensive time resources, susceptible error. This study examines application large language model (LLM) as an assessor screening prioritisation in climate-sensitive research. By framing selection criteria articles question–answer task utilising zero-shot chain-of-thought prompting, proposed method achieves saving at least 70% work effort compared recall level 95% (NWSS@95%). was validated across four datasets containing distinct diseases critical variable (rainfall). The approach additionally produces explainable AI rationales each ranked article. effectiveness multiple demonstrates potential broad reviews. substantial reduction effort, along with provision rationales, marks important step toward automated parameter
