Projected health and economic impacts of sugar-sweetened beverage taxation in Germany: A cross-validation modelling study
ConclusionsIn this study, we found that SSB taxation in Germany could help to reduce the national burden of noncommunicable diseases and save a substantial amount of societal costs. A tiered tax designed to incentivize reformulation of SSBs towards less sugar might have a larger population-level health and economic impact than an ad valorem tax that incentivizes consumer behaviour change only through increased prices.

Argentina ’s new president has nation’s scientists very, very concerned
The election of libertarian Javier Milei as Argentina’s next president has many of the nation’s scientists fearing for the future. Milei has vowed to slash government spending, close or dramatically restructure Argentina’s main science funding agency, and consider eliminating ministries dedicated to protecting public health and the environment. Milei has also called climate change a “socialist hoax.”
“We will be a country without science,” fears Alejandra Capozzo, an immunologist with the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) and head of the Applied Veterinary Immunology Laborator...

Research is Possible —and Vital—as a Hospitalist
When you’re in the middle of yet another impossibly busy week, making time for research in hospital medicine might seem next to impossible.
But it is possible—and enormously important for the health of the field, a panel of experts said in a session at SHM Converge 2023.
Dr. Collins
“We think that we can do research as hospitalists, and it’s not a myth and it is within reach for us,” said Will Collins, MD, clinical assistant professor of medicine at Stanford University in Stanford, Calif.
Sure enough, there are challenges. Hospitalists are often seen as “clinicians first,” he said, the people who get the wo...

Primary Prevention of Cancer: A Multilevel Approach to Behavioral Risk Factor Reduction in Racially and Ethnically Minoritized Groups
We describe interventions at the policy level, including raising excise taxes on tobacco products; within communities and with community partners, for safe greenways and parks, and local healthful food; health care institutions, with reminder systems for HPV vaccinations; among clinicians, by screening for alcohol use and providing tailored weight reduction approaches; families, with HPV education; and among individuals, routinely using sun protection. A multilevel approach to primary prevention of cancer can modify many of the risk factors in racially and ethnically minoritized populations for whom cancer is already a bur...
