Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked multisystem mitochondrial disease. It is caused by variants of the TAFAZZIN gene leading to abnormal cardiolipin. Normal cardiolipin is crucial for proper mitochondrial structure and function. This article reviews the little-discussed, but significant neuro/psychological aspects of BTHS and discusses potential pathogenic mechanisms and avenues for further research.
As both COVID-19 and climate change crises converged and even contributed to each other, a much older crisis reemerged: structural racism and the policy stagnation that refuses to address it.
Human health is irrevocably linked to the health of our planet. Failure to address the root causes of climate change will lead to exponential human and ecological harm.
Background: Many states in the United States (US) have introduced barriers to impede voting among individuals from socio-economically disadvantaged groups.
Background: Africa is undergoing both an environmental and an epidemiological transition.
Background: Natural outdoor environments including green spaces play an important role in preserving population health and wellbeing in cities, but the number of deaths that could be prevented by incr
This Article supports SDGs 3 and 10 by showing substantial differences in the age-standardised mortality rate due to police violence over time and by racial and ethnic groups within the USA.
This Viewpoint supports SDGs 3 and 10 by discussing how common practices in academic global health are peppered with epistemic wrongs that lead to or exacerbate epistemic injustice; for example, members of the global heath community often witness a cycle in which researchers assume that locals in marginalised areas and members of marginalised groups do not have the capacity to contribute to research, and thereby bypass such people's participation.
How education about the environmental impact of unnecessary laboratory testing can affect ordering.
