Article Synopsis
- Environmental exposures are common and significantly affect public health, leading to chronic and infectious diseases, but there's a lack of comprehensive data on the health impacts of these contaminants.
- Simulation science has emerged as a solution to address data gaps by using computational methods like PBPK modeling and QSAR modeling to assess environmental health risks more efficiently.
- The ATSDR (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry) effectively utilizes these simulation tools, gaining recognition from external researchers and collaborating across various sectors to enhance public health protection.
Article Synopsis
- The combination of pancreatitis, panniculitis, and polyarthritis (PPP) is a rare syndrome linked with pancreatitis or pancreatic cancers, highlighted by a case of a 50-year-old man who experienced worsening polyarthritis and nodules on his legs.
- Lab tests confirmed pancreatitis, and a dermatological assessment established panniculitis, leading to the diagnosis of PPP.
- Initial treatments with glucocorticoids and NSAIDs were ineffective, but after performing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to remove blockages in the pancreatic duct, the patient's symptoms improved significantly, emphasizing the need for multidisciplinary awareness and management of this condition.
Objectives: A cumulative imbalance between rheumatologic need and an inadequate number of young colleagues entering the field leads to a dearth of rheumatologists in the near future. The Austrian Society for Rheumatology and Rehabilitation (ÖGR) has been organizing an annual Rheumatology Summer School (RSS) for medical students since 2017. The aim of this study was to analyze the annual RSS evaluations, the RSS' overall effects on attracting new talent into the field and the lasting promotion of rheumatology.

We aimed to evaluate the leaky pipeline among rheumatologists across Europe and to assess determinants inducing rheumatologists to leave hospitals.
Methods: Experts in the field of economics developed a questionnaire with scientific focus on the leaky pipeline among rheumatologists, which was distributed electronically by national scientific societies of EULAR countries and by individual contacts.
Background: Gout is the most frequent inflammatory joint disease in the western world and has a proven genetic background. Additionally, lifestyle factors, such as increasing life expectation and standard of living, sufficient or excess nutrition and a growing prevalence of obesity in the population as well as e.g.
