Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundClimate change is increasingly recognised as a threat to population health and healthcare systems, yet the effects of environmental variability on pharmaceutical prescribing remain poorly characterised in the UK. Using a wide array of open-source datasets, we examine the effect of environmental, geographic and socioeconomic factors on prescribing habits in England. MethodsWe linked monthly, practice-leve…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundThe coexistence of cancer and hypertension presents complex clinical challenges, yet limited research has characterized this population using nationally representative data. Understanding demographic patterns, social determinants of health, and environmental health perceptions in this group is essential for developing targeted interventions. MethodsWe analyzed data from the Health Information National Tr…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundDengue virus infection remains among the most prevalent infectious diseases globally, with an estimate of 100-400 million cases occurring each year. Prior ecological studies have documented spatial and temporal correlations between dengue occurrence and either socioeconomic or climatic conditions independently. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between multidimensional typologies, incl…
Climate change is driving urgent demand for resilient crop varieties capable of withstanding extreme and changing conditions. Identifying resilient varieties requires systematic plant phenotyping research under controlled conditions, where dynamic environmental impacts can be studied. Current growth cabinets (GC) provide this capability but remain limited by high costs, static environments, and scalability. These…
Georgina Mace proposed bending the curve of biodiversity loss as a fitting ambition for the Convention on Biological Diversity. The new Global Biodiversity Monitoring Framework (GBMF) may increase the chances of meeting the goals and targets in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF), which requires bending the curve. To meet the outcome goals of KMGBF, the GBMF should support adaptive policy re…
Open article record in new tab ↗This study explores how major climatic shifts, together with socioeconomic factors over the past two millennia, influenced buffer crop selection, focusing on five crops: rye, millet, buckwheat, oat, and hemp. For this study, we analyzed archaeobotanical data from 135 archaeological contexts and historical data from 242 manor inventories across the northeastern Baltic region, spanning the period from 100 to 1800 AD…
ObjectiveTo quantify, compare, and analyse the cradle-to-gate carbon emissions of biologic treatments for severe asthma. DesignCradle-to-gate carbon emissions for six monoclonal antibody therapies were calculated using MCF Classifier. A representative patient, eligible for all therapies, was defined to enable comparisons. Sensitivity, scenario, and pairwise analyses were conducted to explore variation in emissions…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundInternational migrant workers, representing 170 million people globally, often face hazardous working conditions, including extreme heat exposure. This increases their risk of occupational heat strain, exacerbated by poor working conditions. This systematic review aims to identify the health risks of occupational heat exposure among international migrant workers globally, and document existing protective…
Open article record in new tab ↗Dengue is a major public health concern in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world. Dengue virus is transmitted to humans primarily by female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and its epidemiology is heavily influenced by the climate. We developed a mechanistic compartmental model to characterize how climate and the evolution of population-level immunity influence changes in the epidemiology of dengue. The model expli…
Open article record in new tab ↗Climate change severely threatens global public health, with sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) projected to experience profound impacts. This scoping review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of current research on climate change and its health implications in SSA while identifying research gaps and outlining the necessary resources and policy interventions to strengthen public health resilience in the region. Liter…
Open article record in new tab ↗Anthropogenic climate change is intensifying natural disturbance regimes, which negatively affects some species, while benefiting others. This could alter the trait composition of ecological communities and influence resilience to disturbance. We investigated how the frequency and intensification of the regional storm regime (and likely other disturbances) is altering coral species composition and in turn resistan…
Open article record in new tab ↗There has been a resurgence in the cultivation of industrial hemp, Cannabis sativa L., in the United States since its recent legalization. This may facilitate increased populations of arthropods associated with the plant. Hemp pests target highly marketable parts of the plant, such as flowers, stalks, and leaves, which ultimately results in a decline in the quality. Industrial hemp can be used for several purposes…
Open article record in new tab ↗This study aimed to assess the environmental footprint of dairy farms rearing a dual-purpose breed, and to evaluate, through alternative scenario analyses, the fattening of calves and the cultivation of hemp as strategies for reducing the environmental impact of these farms. Eleven farms were evaluated for global warming (GWP), acidification (AC) and eutrophication (EUP) potential. The Life Cycle Assessment method…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundDiarrheal disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally, particularly in children under 5 years of age. Factors related to diarrheal disease incidence include infection, malnutrition, and exposure to contaminated water and food. Climate factors also contribute to diarrheal disease. ObjectivesWe aimed to explore the relationship between temperature, precipitation and diarrhea ca…
Open article record in new tab ↗BACKGROUND: It is an important issue to separate the current and past components of the meteorological parameters influencing the current pollen concentration for different taxa. For this purpose a new statistical procedure, factor analysis with special transformation is introduced. The data set used covers an 11-year period (1997-2007) including daily pollen counts of 19 taxa and 4 climate variables (mean tempera…
Background Many studies have investigated heat wave related mortality, but less attention has been given to the health effects of cold spells in the context of global warming. The 2008 cold spell in China provided a unique opportunity to estimate the effects of the 2008 cold spell on mortality in subtropical regions, spatial heterogeneity of the effects, stratification effect and added effects caused by sustained…
