The 2024 report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: facing record-breaking threats from delayed action.
Lancet
November 2024
Institute for Global Health, University College London, London, UK.
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.
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2023 Annual Report.
J Med Toxicol
October 2024
American College of Medical Toxicology, 10645 N Tatum Blvd., Suite 200-111, Phoenix, AZ, 85028, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The American College of Medical Toxicology's Toxicology Investigators Consortium has been maintaining a national case registry since 2010, documenting patient consultations in hospitals and clinics regarding medical toxicology.
- In 2023, the registry recorded data from 7,392 patients, bringing the total number of cases since its inception to 102,331 across 36 sites with 61 healthcare facilities.
- Ethanol emerged as the most common exposure agent in 2023, followed by opioids and non-opioid analgesics, with a reported 98 fatalities (1.3% case fatality rate) and analyses of demographics and trends in toxicology consultations.
Climate of origin shapes variations in wood anatomical properties of 17 Picea species.
BMC Plant Biol
May 2024
State Key Laboratory of Tree Genetics and Breeding, Key Laboratory of Tree Breeding and Cultivation of State Forestry Administration, Research Institute of Forestry, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing, 100091, People's Republic of China.
Article Synopsis
- Variations in hydraulic conductivity among Picea species are linked to specific anatomical traits of their xylem, which influence their growth strategies within a resource economy continuum.
- A study on 17 Picea species in a common garden revealed significant differences in growth and anatomical characteristics, with xylem conductivity positively correlated with tracheid size and negatively correlated with traits like wall thickness.
- Environmental factors such as temperature and precipitation strongly impacted these anatomical traits, indicating that vascular structure may adapt to local climatic conditions rather than show clear evolutionary patterns.
Fourteenth Annual ENBDC Workshop: Methods in Mammary Gland Biology and Breast Cancer.
J Mammary Gland Biol Neoplasia
October 2023
Division of Molecular Pathology, Oncode Institute, Netherlands Cancer Institute, Plesmanlaan 121, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The fourteenth annual workshop of the European Network for Breast Development and Cancer (ENBDC) on Methods in Mammary Gland Biology and Breast Cancer was held on April 26th - 29th in Weggis, Switzerland. For the first time, early career researchers organised and took part in an additional ECR workshop on the 26th of April, which was received with great enthusiasm. The topics of the main workshop included mammary branching and morphogenesis, novel experimental systems (model organisms), systemic influences on tumour progression and the tumour microenvironment.

BMC Med Educ
September 2023
National Demonstration Center for Experimental Basic Medical Education, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
Background: Despite the proven effectiveness of simulation-based learning activities, its adoption in medical education remains limited, and the influence of simulation on student motivation, particularly subjective task values, is seldom explored. This study aimed to investigate the impact of a simulation-based learning activity on student learning and subjective task values in a medical morphology-related course of Human Parasitology.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 113 Chinese undergraduate medical students who participated in a Human Parasitology course during April to May 2022.
