Article Synopsis
- The world is nearing the critical threshold of 1.5°C warming, with 2023 recording an average temperature rise of 1.45°C since pre-industrial times, leading to severe climate-related impacts.
- The Countdown collaboration, formed to assess the health impacts of climate change post-Paris Agreement, involves over 300 experts analyzing data and trends annually.
- The 2024 report highlights troubling increases in climate-related health risks, such as a staggering 167% rise in heat-related deaths among seniors, indicating worsening conditions affecting wellbeing globally.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers explored how large language models (LLMs) can aid in generating guideline questions for allergic rhinitis by using online search data and direct LLM interactions.
- They identified 3975 unique search queries, distilling them to 37 relevant questions, with 6 new questions prioritized for the 2024 ARIA guidelines that were not initially considered by the expert panel.
- The study suggests that LLMs can complement traditional methods in developing clinical guideline questions, although the findings are limited to a single case study.
Background: Analysis of X (formerly Twitter) posts can inform on the interest/perceptions that social media users have on health subjects. In this study, we aimed to analyse tweets on allergic conditions, comparing them with surveillance data.
Methods: We retrieved tweets from England on "allergy," "asthma," and "allergic rhinitis," published between 2016 and 2021.
Unlabelled: The Countdown is an international research collaboration that independently monitors the evolving impacts of climate change on health, and the emerging health opportunities of climate action. In its eighth iteration, this 2023 report draws on the expertise of 114 scientists and health practitioners from 52 research institutions and UN agencies worldwide to provide its most comprehensive assessment yet. In 2022, the Countdown warned that people’s health is at the mercy of fossil fuels and stressed the transformative opportunity of jointly tackling the concurrent climate change, energy, cost-of-living, and health crises for human health and wellbeing.
