This Article supports SDG 3 by comprehensively estimating the burden of low back pain by considering the effects of health-care interventions on health state severity distribution; the authors show that the burden of low back pain in low-income and middle-income countries has been underestimated in GBD, but also that this higher burden is amenable to improved access to treatment.
This paper supports SDG 3 with evidence of disparate effects of phased COVID-19 vaccine rollout on mental health across US populations, underlining the need for careful planning in future strategies for phased disease prevention and interventions.

This viewpoint highlights the threat of gambling as an emerging public health issue in the American continent.
A non invasive way to test stress levels an monitor metal health in the work environment.
Steroidal alkaloids from bioactive sources as a potential therapeutic approach to managing Alzheimer’s. It is a review, but I think it shines a really unique light in underexplored, and oft inexpensive, approaches.
The study demonstrates that the peptide PHDP5, which inhibits dynamin-MT interaction, can rescue impaired endocytosis and synaptic transmission caused by tau in presynaptic terminals. When administered intranasally to Alzheimer's disease (AD) model mice, PHDP5 significantly improved learning and memory, suggesting its potential as a candidate for human AD therapy.
Nurse practitioners and other health care providers can play a crucial role in implementing chronic disease management strategies and educating patients who are at risk for AD among African Americans and Hispanics.
Despite significant investment, effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been elusive, necessitating improved quality and reproducibility of foundational laboratory evidence; to address this, AD-SOLES, an integrated workflow of automated tools and a publicly accessible interactive dashboard, has been developed to collect, curate, and visualize in vivo experimental evidence, enhancing evidence synthesis, tracking reporting quality, and aiding researchers in locating relevant data.
The study investigates the neuroprotective effects of hordenine against AlCl3-induced Alzheimer’s disease in rats. Results show that hordenine improves memory and cognitive functions, suggesting its potential to reverse oxidative stress and neuroinflammation associated with Alzheimer’s
In this study, the authors estimate the causal effect of air pollution on eye and ear health. They find that eye or ear disease possibility rises 1.48% for a 10 μg/m3 increase in four-week average PM2.5 concentration. The impacts can last about 28 weeks and will be insignificant afterward.
