National taxation on sugar-sweetened beverages and its association with overweight, obesity, and diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: Taxation is highly heterogeneous across countries in terms of products and design, which might influence its effectiveness. Our findings provide some evidence regarding a deceleration of the increasing prevalence rates of overweight and obesity among children occurring in some countries following introduction of taxation.

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 397: Improving Retention in Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Interventions: An Analysis of Completion Rates across a Multi-Site Trial with Refugee, Migrant, and Host Communities in Latin America
This study examines the relationship between participant characteristics, study setting, and reasons for intervention noncompletion using data from the Entre Nosotras feasibility trial, a community-based MHPSS intervention targeting refugee, migrant, and host community women in Ecuador and Panama that aimed to promote psychosocial wellbeing. Among 225 enrolled women, approximately half completed the intervention, with varying completion rates and reasons for nonattendance across study sites. Participants who were older, had migrated for family reasons, had spent more time in the study community, and were living in Panam&am...

Salmonella infections in Denmark from 2013 –2022 with focus on serotype distribution, invasiveness, age, sex, and travel exposition
ConclusionDuring the decade, there was a limited number of typhoidal cases. The dominant NTS serotypes wereS. Enteritidis and monophasicS. Typhimurium, whereasS. Dublin andS. Panama exhibited the highest invasive potential. (Source: European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases)

A Spatial Signal of Niche Differentiation in Tropical Forests
Am Nat. 2024 Apr;203(4):445-457. doi: 10.1086/729218. Epub 2024 Feb 9.ABSTRACTAbstractExplaining diversity in tropical forests remains a challenge in community ecology. Theory tells us that species differences can stabilize communities by reducing competition, while species similarities can promote diversity by reducing fitness differences and thus prolonging the time to competitive exclusion. Combined, these processes may lead to clustering of species such that species are niche differentiated across clusters and share a niche within each cluster. Here, we characterize this partial niche differentiation in a tropical fore...
