Cultivated meat, produced using cell culture technology, is an alternative to conventional meat production that avoids the risks from enteric pathogens associated with animal slaughter and processing. Cultivated meat therefore has significant theoretical microbiological safety advantages, though limited information is available to validate this. This review discusses sources and vectors of microbial contamination throughout cultivated meat production, introduces industry survey data to evaluate current industry practices for monitoring and mitigating these hazards, and highlights future research needs.

Background/objectives: Self-care has great potential to benefit consumers and health systems, but its mainstream adoption is hindered by a systemic lack of consumer health literacy (HL). Published data on consumer awareness of self-care and HL are limited for regions in Asia, and are needed to develop interventions to enhance HL and self-care for diverse populations in this region. The aim of this research was to describe and analyze patterns of HL and awareness of self-care among consumers in Asia.

Article Synopsis
- Dengue fever, transmitted by mosquitoes, is a growing public health crisis in Bangladesh due to its high population density and favorable climate for virus spread.
- The rise in dengue cases raises concerns that it could evolve into an epidemic, with contributing factors like climate change and close human contact amplifying transmission risks.
- Ongoing challenges in controlling dengue highlight the need for improved preventive measures, as the disease could potentially spread beyond Bangladesh, particularly through international labor movements.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates sociocultural factors contributing to the rise of leptospirosis in rural Sri Lanka and their impact on health promotion efforts.
- Insights were gathered through interviews with public health officials and infected patients, revealing key themes such as lack of knowledge, misconceptions about the disease, and economic challenges.
- The findings underscore the importance of awareness programs to address misunderstandings around leptospirosis to improve community health interventions.
Background: The Australian population aged 70 and above is increasing and imposing new challenges for policy makers and providers to deliver accessible, appropriate and affordable health care. We examine pre-COVID patterns of health loss between 1990 and 2019 to inform policies and practices.
Methods: Using the standardised methodology framework and analytical strategies from GBD 2019 methodologies, we estimated mortality, causes of death, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), life expectancy at age 70 and above (LE-70), and healthy life expectancy (HALE-70) in Australia comparing them globally and with high socio-demographic index (SDI) groups.
