Moving towards net-zero emission societies is projected to provide human health co-benefits. However, the magnitude of these co-benefits poorly documented and might be context specific. Synthesising evidence on could enhance engagement decision makers populations in climate mitigation actions. We performed database searches PubMed, Web Science, Scopus for studies published between inception Jan 1, 2024, identifying 3976 papers. Of these, 58 quantitative met our inclusion criteria were included this systematic review. These papers explored 125 scenarios considered various pathways by which policies can affect health. Pathways addressing air quality, physical activity, dietary changes found substantial co-benefits, with a median mortality reduction 1·5%.

Fossil Fuel CO2 Emissions and Economic Growth in the Visegrád Region: A Study Based on the Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis

Climate, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 12(8), С. 115 - 115

Опубликована: Авг. 7, 2024

The relationship between fossil fuel CO2 emissions and economic growth in the Visegrád (V4) countries (Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia) is examined through lens of environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis. Employing modified (MEKC) hypothesis, time-series data from 2010 to 2022 were analyzed. methodology encompasses a range econometric techniques, including temporal, comparative, correlational, regression analyses, unravel intricate development (measured by GDP per capita) pollution (CO2 emissions). Results reveal complex nonlinear correlation capita V4 countries, following an inverted U-shaped pattern. Specifically, Czechia Hungary exhibited peak at approximately USD 5000 4500 capita, respectively, with corresponding emission levels 1.15 0.64 metric tons. In contrast, Slovakia’s decreased after its exceeded carbon dioxide reached 0.15 However, Poland’s deviate MEKC pattern, exhibiting consistent rise across all capita. study highlights that power industry largest source four contributing 88.09% total emissions. transportation industrial combustion sectors account for about 2.12% 1.28% annual emissions, respectively. GDP–CO2 correlations vary countries. While exhibits positive 0.35, (−0.37), Poland (−0.21), Slovakia (−0.11) display negative relationships. Notably, experiences most significant increase both road transport air traffic. conclusions drawn this provide robust foundation developing tailored policies support sustainable region other transitioning economies.

Dietary diversity and opportunistic infections among adults living with human immunodeficiency virus on antiretroviral therapy in Kumasi metropolis; a facility-based cross-sectional study

BMC Infectious Diseases, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 25(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 2, 2025

Abstract Background Despite advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART), people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/ acquired syndrome (AIDS) continue to face heightened susceptibility opportunistic infections (OIs). Adequate nutrition remains an essential factor that positively influences disease progression and the occurrence of OIs. In Ghana, no study has evaluated association between dietary diversity OI among adults HIV. This aimed evaluate presence OIs HIV-positive receiving ART. Methods A facility-based cross-sectional was conducted 291 ART from February 2023 April at Kumasi South Hospital, Ghana. The participants were selected using a convenient sampling method. pre-tested questionnaire review electronic health records used collect sociodemographic, nutritional clinical data. Binary logistic regression analyses identify variables significantly associated outcome hierarchical multivariable while controlling for confounders p-value < 0.05. Results mean age 46.2 ± 10.9 years 4.0 (IQR: 3.0 6.0) food groups, respectively. Out respondents, 152 (52.2%) had inadequate 39 (13.4%) least one OI. respondents three times more likely have than their peers adequate [AOR 3.03, (95% CI: 1.20 7.64), p = 0.019]. Conclusion revealed is significant problem PLWHA on site. Hence, there need enhance intake diversified diets based locally available foods. could decrease eventually reduce HIV-related morbidity/mortality.

Research on biomechanics-informed rural planning strategies for enhancing biodiversity and health

Molecular & cellular biomechanics, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 22(2), С. 626 - 626

Опубликована: Янв. 17, 2025

Rapid urbanization has resulted in decreased biodiversity, adversely impacting ecosystem functions and human health, especially rural regions. Biomechanics-informed planning integrates principles of biological mechanics with biodiversity enhancement public health objectives to establish sustainable communities. Purpose: This study aims foster resilient ecosystems healthier populations by introducing biomechanics-informed approaches that synergize promotion. Methods: bridges the knowledge gap examining relationship among biomechanically efficient behaviors, personal ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (EDRR) through lens Health Belief Model (HBM). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed investigate correlations between study's key variables. The research focused on a community impacted test hypotheses, exploring strategies facilitate development enhancement. Results: findings indicate perceptions EDRR attributes indirectly influence behaviors. Specifically, participation activities support is positively associated social integration benefits, awareness, Conclusion: underscores potential integrate biomechanics into Emergency Disaster Risk Reduction initiatives encourage healthy lifestyles enhance environmental sustainability

Integration of sustainability measures into clinical research would translate less healthcare related climate impacts. We assessed change impacts, existing engagement, and challenges facilitators to mitigation strategies among Breast International Group (BIG) members. A 30 item web based survey assessing integration in funding applications was developed, circulated electronically between November 2023 March 2024. Thirty four members (research groups data centres) participating sites across 5 continents, BIG headquarters responded. Twenty six responses were received from 21 organisations, 20 17 sites. No obtained 28 groups. Trial conduct at a third member had been impacted by impacts such as destroyed infrastructure. 78 % agreed that should feature future applications.

Quantifying hazards and assessing the risks in era of climate change using Space Ground-based Earth Observations (SAGEOs) is playing a key role facilitating implementation frameworks are essential for observing how have changed recent years, as well tracking reduction level exposure communities to hazards. SGEOs provide context, scale, perspective needed understand various hazards, such floods, seismic activities, wildfire, coastal erosion, crucial informing risk disaster management efforts. Correspondingly, SAGEOs contribute development early warning systems climate-related supporting timely effective preparedness response. The integration supports risk-informed decision-making by providing information vulnerability mapping, thus adaptation planning climate-resilient strategies. In conclusion, quantifying vital understanding, monitoring, mitigating impacts These observations valuable data characterizing developing systems, efforts, critical building resilience reducing risks.

Fine particulate matter‑induced cardiac developmental toxicity (Review)

Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 29(1)

Опубликована: Окт. 29, 2024

Fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) has become an important risk factor threatening human health. Epidemiological and toxicological investigations have revealed that PM_2.5 not only leads to cardiovascular dysfunction, but it also gives rise various adverse health effects on the body, such as cerebrovascular diseases, cancers, neurodevelopmental disorders, depression autism. is able penetrate both respiratory placental barriers, thereby resulting in negative fetal development. A large body of epidemiological evidences suggested gestational exposure increases incidence congenital diseases offspring, including heart defects. In addition, animal model studies can disrupt normal development although potential molecular mechanisms yet be fully elucidated. The aim present review was provide a brief overview what currently known regarding underlying cardiac developmental toxicity offspring induced by PM_2.5.
