The European Medical Research Councils set up an Advisory Group in Toxicology which met from 1975 to 1988. Since encouragement of cross discipline research is still difficult, a resumé is presented of the procedures developed to encourage interdisciplinary research in toxicology in Europe. A programme of grants in toxicology for collaborative research between European countries was begun in 1981 under the auspices of the European Science Foundation. Resulting from the final meeting of AST in Milan, the need for the development of links between epidemiology and molecular aspects of toxicology and for new approaches in eco-toxicology are briefly discussed.

Precision Oncology: A Global Perspective on Implementation and Policy Development.
JCO Glob Oncol
January 2025
International Cancer Patient Coalition, Brussels, Belgium.
Despite the acknowledged merits of precision oncology (PO) and its increasing global implementation, its full potential for advancing care and prevention remains unrealized. The benefits are currently accessible to only limited patient segments because of multifaceted barriers. Successful implementation hinges on various factors-scientific complexities not limited to technical, clinical, regulatory, economic, administrative, and health care policy-related challenges.

Department of Public Health, University of Otago, Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand.
Background: The prevalence of diabetes has been increasing in Aotearoa New Zealand by approximately 7% per year, and is three times higher among Māori and Pacific peoples than in Europeans. The depth of the diabetes epidemic, and the expansive breadth of services required for its management, elevate the need for high-quality evidence on the projected future burden of this complex disease.
Methods: In this manuscript we have projected the prevalence of diabetes (type 1 and type 2 combined) out to 2040-2044 using age-period-cohort modelling.

Aim: There are limited data on the prevalence of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) in Māori and known inequities in outcomes after aortic valve intervention. Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence of CAVD in Māori.
Methods: Data from initial clinically indicated echocardiograms performed between 2010 to 2018 in patients aged ≥18 years were linked to nationally collected outcome data.

Quality of life disparities among Mexican people with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Higher prevalence and worst outcome have been reported among people with systemic lupus erythematosus with non-European ancestries, with both genetic and socioeconomic variables as contributing factors. In Mexico, studies assessing the inequities related to quality of life for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus patients remain sparse. This study aims to assess the inequities related to quality of life in a cohort of Mexican people with SLE.
