This review discusses the role of the endocannabinoid system in pain management, particularly in the context of chronic pain co-morbid with Alzheimer's disease (AD), highlighting the prevalence of chronic pain among AD patients, the limitations of current treatments, and the need for further research and future directions.
This case report discusses the comparison of circulating levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelets between Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and healthy older adults, revealing lower VEGF levels and a trend towards reduced platelet numbers in AD patients, indicating potential modifications in angiogenic factors associated with the disease.
This article discusses the impact of early life sensorial intervention on behavioral patterns, peripheral immune-endocrine organs, corticosterone levels, and responses to NMDA-induced motor depression in male and female 3xTg-AD mice, highlighting sex and genotype differences in susceptibility to glutamatergic excitotoxicity and modulation of the neuroimmunoendocrine system in Alzheimer's disease.

The rich potential of legal rights in advancing planetary health is no longer untapped.1 In July, 2022, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution A/76/L.75, which recognised “the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a human right”, by a landslide of 161 votes. This historic resolution stands on the shoulders of a long line of UN initiatives, such as the Human Rights Council's Resolution 48/13, which was enacted in October, 2021, and recognised the right to a healthy environment as “important for the enjoyment of human rights”. This occurred 6 months after UN Environment, WHO, and 13 other UN entities issued a statement that described the failure to recognise the right to a healthy environment as detrimental to the attainment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Earlier, the Stockholm Declaration on the Human Environment 1972 affirmed that humans have “the fundamental right to freedom, equality and adequate conditions of life, in an environment of a quality that permits a life of dignity and well-being”. Two decades later, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development 1992 demanded that states “conserve, protect and restore the health and integrity of the Earth's ecosystem”.

Older patients seeking to conceive must be counselled regarding increased risks in order to make well-informed decisions.
This Series paper supports SDG 3 by providing a new vision on how to address breastfeeding protection, promotion, and support at scale through multilevel, equitable approaches, and by examining how individual-level parent and baby attributes interact with breastfeeding determinants at other levels of the socioecological model, how these interactions drive outcomes, and what policies and interventions are necessary to achieve optimal breastfeeding.
This Series paper supports SDG 3 by examining how the marketing of commercial milk formula (CMF) comprehensively undermines access to objective information and support related to feeding of infants and young children, and contributes to reduced global breastfeeding practices by influencing normative beliefs, values, and political and business approaches to establish environments that favour CMF uptake and sales.
