As trends in life expectancy continue to improve, the burden of loneliness in geriatric populations on a global scale is increasing. With advancing age comes an increase in the number of life events that can perpetuate a state of loneliness such as losing a life partner, dwindling social networks, and deteriorating health conditions. This burden can manifest in a variety of mental and physical consequences.

This review explicitly emphasizes the important yet unnoticed potential of macroalgae, such as seaweeds and kelps, as a powerful nature-based solution for climate change mitigation, with greater focus on the Indian Ocean seaweed diversity and efforts towards their conservation and management. Despite the IPCC's recognition of Blue Carbon ecosystems, seaweed ecosystems remain largely excluded from carbon accounting and policy frameworks. Herein, we specifically focus on the immense capacity of macroalgae globally and in the Indian Ocean coastal communities to sequester carbon, support marine biodiversity, and provide a range of ecosystem services.

Leprosy, a neglected tropical disease, causes significant morbidity in marginalized communities. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, annual new case detection plateaued for over a decade at ~200,000 new cases. The clinical phenotypes of leprosy strongly parallel host immunity to its causative agents Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the effectiveness of monitoring visceral leishmaniasis (VL) on a village level in Bihar, India, highlighting challenges with resource-intensive surveillance as cases decline.
- The researchers tested a statistical method to estimate VL incidence at the village level from block-level data, finding that this approach didn't provide more accurate estimates than assuming uniformity within blocks.
- The findings suggest that while reactive interventions may not be effective for neighboring villages, maintaining surveillance in areas at risk of population movement could help prevent the spread of VL into currently unaffected areas.
