Background And Aim: Suboptimal disease control (SDC) and its contributing factors in IBD according to STRIDE-II criteria is unclear. IBD-PODCAST was a non-interventional, international, multicenter real-world study to assess this.
Methods: Data from the Italian IBD cohort (N=220) are presented here.
(1) Background: Lower socioeconomic status increases psychiatric service use, exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic by environmental stressors like air pollution and limited green spaces. This study aims to assess the influence of sociodemographic and environmental factors on mental health service utilisation. (2) Methods: This retrospective study uses an administrative database focusing on community mental health services in Northeast Italy.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of upadacitinib 15 mg daily in reducing enthesitis in psoriatic arthritis patients, comparing it to placebo and adalimumab through specific clinical trials.
- Results showed that after 24 weeks, UPA15 significantly improved enthesitis resolution and scores on the Leeds Enthesitis Index and SPARCC index compared to placebo, with lasting benefits observed up to 56 weeks.
- UPA15 demonstrated early improvements by 12 weeks, with over 90% of initially enthesitis-free patients remaining so, and it effectively prevented recurrence in over 80% of those who had previously experienced enthesitis.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the impact of urban heat islands (UHIs) on health, finding that high temperatures increase premature deaths, with an estimated 6700 deaths in 93 European cities during the summer of 2015 linked to UHIs.
- - By increasing urban tree coverage to 30%, cities could potentially reduce temperatures by 0.4°C and prevent around 2644 associated premature deaths, showcasing the benefits of urban green spaces.
- - The research underscores the significant public health risks posed by UHIs, emphasizing the need for urban planning that incorporates more trees to mitigate heat-related mortality.
