Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990-2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
Lancet. 2024 Apr 3:S0140-6736(24)00367-2. doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(24)00367-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mortality rates and life expectancy allow comparisons of the consequences of...

Triptans in the Acute Migraine Management of Children and Adolescents: An Update
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo summarize recent findings regarding triptan use in the acute treatment of pediatric migraine.Recent FindingsPrevalence of pediatric migraine is rising. The American Headache Society and American Academy of Neurology updated guidelines to provide evidence-based recommendations for the treatment of acute migraine in youth. In the setting of a dearth of new randomized controlled trials (RCTs), we review current guidelines, triptan use in the emergency department, and an era of secondary analyses.SummaryMeasuring the efficacy of triptans in pediatric migraine has been challenged by high placebo resp...

NSF tests ways to improve research security without disrupting peer review
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is spending $571 million to build the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile so astronomers can survey the sky in unprecedented detail for evidence of dark matter and energy. It’s part of the agency’s mission to fund basic research.
But when the telescope sees first light next year, its 3.2-gigapixel camera will also see things the U.S. government might not want disclosed, including spy satellites and other military hardware that could pose a threat to the United States. So do the data it collects need to be restricted in some way?
In response to pressure from Congress...

The availability, access, challenges and advancements in neurosurgical care in Africa: a mini review
Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2024 Feb 15;86(4):2011-2015. doi: 10.1097/MS9.0000000000001805. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTThe availability and accessibility of neurosurgical care across Africa remains limited despite recent advancements. Overall, Africa accounts for 15% of the global neurosurgical disease burden but has access to less than 1% of neurosurgeons globally. While the number of neurosurgeons has increased in recent decades, huge workforce shortages remain, with the region facing the second-largest neurosurgical deficit. Access to adequate facilities and equipment is also lacking. Barriers like poverty, conflicts, and di...

With money running out, astronomers urge Mexico to save its giant telescope
Facing a looming funding cutoff, astronomers are urging the Mexican government to renew its support for the nation’s most prominent astronomical facility, the Large Millimeter Telescope Alfonso Serrano (LMT). The telescope will run out of money on 31 August unless the government agrees to continue to help cover its operating costs, researchers warned in two recent letters to senior officials.
Urgent action is needed to “guarantee the operation of a flagship project of Mexican science,” LMT Director David Hughes and five other researchers wrote in a
19 March letter
to Mexico’s finance secretary, Roge...

Building the Infrastructure to Integrate Social Care in a Safety Net Health System
Am J Public Health. 2024 Apr 4:e1-e7. doi: 10.2105/AJPH.2024.307602. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA recent National Academies report recommended that health systems invest in new infrastructure to integrate social and medical care. Although many health systems routinely screen patients for social concerns, few health systems achieve the recommended model of integration. In this critical case study in an urban safety net health system, we describe the human capital, operational redesign, and financial investment needed to implement the National Academy recommendations. Using data from this case study, we estimate that othe...
