Prevalence and antimicrobial resistant Campylobacter spp. in broiler chicken carcasses and hygiene practises in informal urban markets in a low-income setting.
PLoS One

Campylobacteriosis is one of the most commonly reported foodborne diseases and is of particular importance in low-income countries. More data is needed to better understand the epidemiology of Campylobacter spp. in food sold at informal markets, where most people in low-income countries buy their food.

Curr Med Res Opin
January 2025
Northwestern Medicine, Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL, United States.
Objective: To quantify treatment preferences for food allergy management options (oral immunotherapy, biologic therapy, and allergen avoidance), overall and by sociodemographic strata.
Methods: A US general population (≥13 years) discrete choice experiment (DCE) conducted comprised of 12 treatment-feature focused DCE choice sets; the Intolerance of Uncertainty─12 Scale (IUS-12); and clinical/demographic questions. Conditional logistic regression analyses were conducted overall and by age, income, urbanization, educational attainment, food and other sociodemographic factors, and presented as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Associations of neighbourhood food retail with disability and death in older adults: Cardiovascular Health Study.
BMJ Nutr Prev Health
December 2024
Urban Health Collaborative, Dornsife School of Public Health, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: A healthier diet is associated with lower chronic disease burden, but the impact of neighbourhood food environments on disability and death in older adults is not known.
Methods: In the Cardiovascular Health Study, a cohort study of adults aged 65+, we calculated study years until death (years of life (YOL)), study years without activities of daily living (ADL) difficulty (years of able life; YoAL) and percent of study years without ADL difficulty (compression of disability). Linear regression quantified associations of food establishments within 5 km of baseline home address (as a z-score) with each outcome, adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics.
Urban fruit bats give birth earlier in the season compared to rural fruit bats.
BMC Biol
January 2025
School of Zoology, Faculty of Life Sciences, Tel Aviv University, 6997801, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Background: Urbanization is rapidly altering our ecosystem. While most wild species refrain from entering urban habitats, some flourish in cities and adapt to the new opportunities these offer. Urban individuals of various species have been shown to differ in physiology, morphology, and behavior compared to their rural counterparts.

Urban air pollutants, mainly represented by PM containing organic and inorganic substances, can penetrate the human skin and trigger oxidative stress, potentially causing skin barrier damage and aging. κ-Carrageenan oligosaccharides as degradation products of natural sulfated polysaccharide have a great potential for skin moisturization as well as improving oxidative stress and inflammation. In this study, κ-carrageenan tetrasaccharide was obtained by enzymatic digestion of κ-carrageenan, and its role in alleviating particulate matter-induced inflammatory response in HaCaT keratinocyte cell line and skin barrier dysfunction was evaluated.
