TK2d is an ultrarare autosomal recessive mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. Nucleoside therapy improves or stabilizes disease across key outcomes including survival, ambulation, and requirement for mechanical ventilation. However, little is known about the effects of nucleoside therapy treatment of TK2d from the patient's perspective. This study sought to address this knowledge gap.

This article advances SDG # 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, and 13 by measuring the strong relationship between air pollution and adverse pregnancy outcomes including low birth weight and preterm birth. It shows that fossil-fuel based pollution has serious health consequences, mitigation of which could have immediate health benefits, particularly in high-pollution environments. T

This Review supports SDG 3 by examining the effects of parental leave (ie, maternity, paternity, or family leave; protected leave of absence from work following birth of a baby to care for the baby) on postpartum mental health. The study found that parental leave can be protective against poorer mental health - particularly paid leave of at least 2-3 months in mothers. More generous parental leave was associated with better outcomes.

This Article supports SDGs 3 and 13 by comparing the costs of implementing climate change mitigation policies with the economic benefits of avoiding heat-related labour productivity loss through climate change mitagation. The authors find that a substantial proportion (51.8%) of the costs of climate change mitigation would be offset by the economic benefits gained from avoiding labour productivity losses. There were geographical variation, with the benefits exceeding the costs in southeast Asia, Brazil, and Mexico.
