Chan School of Public Health Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment, Boston, Massachusetts (Drs Wiskel and Dresser); Americares, Stamford, Connecticut (Mr Matthews-Trigg, Ms Stevens, and Dr Miles); and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts (Drs Wiskel, Dresser, and Bernstein).
Climate-sensitive extreme weather events are increasingly impacting frontline clinic operations. We conducted a national, cross-sectional survey of 284 self-identified administrators and other staff at frontline clinics determining their attitudes toward climate change and the impacts, resilience, and preparedness of clinics for extreme weather events. Most respondents (80.

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev
January 2025
A.C. Camargo Cancer Center, São Paulo, Brazil.
Background: Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) incidence is rising globally, predominantly in high-income countries due to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. However, further data on OPC incidence in Brazil is needed. The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence, trends, and predictions of OPC in Brazilian population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) by period, sex, and topography.

The chemical reactivity of glass surfaces is often studied with elemental analysis techniques, and although such characterization methods provide insights on compositional changes from exposure to specific chemical conditions, molecule-specific chemical reactions are not determined unambiguously. This study demonstrates the use of reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) to detect molecular species on alkali-free boroaluminosilicate and alkali aluminosilicate glasses, using acetic acid vapor as a model reactant to probe reaction sites at the surface with or without pretreatment by aqueous solutions of varied pH. With the assistance of the theoretical calculation of spectral changes based on refractive indices of bulk materials, it was possible to identify the molecular species being removed and produced at the glass surface.

JAMA Pediatr
January 2025
Division of Pediatrics, Department of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Importance: Data regarding the long-term impact of treating childhood obesity on the risk of obesity-related events, including premature mortality, are limited.
Objective: To evaluate the long-term effect of different responses to pediatric obesity treatment on critical health outcomes in young adulthood.
Design, Setting, And Participants: The study included a dynamic prospective cohort of children and adolescents with obesity within The Swedish Childhood Obesity Treatment Register (BORIS) and general population comparators, linked with national registers.
Impact of human intervention and predator-prey dynamics on ecosystem virus transmission.
Chaos

School of Science, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China.
Humans and predators occupy dominant positions in ecosystems and are generally believed to play a decisive role in maintaining ecosystem stability, particularly in the context of virus transmission. However, this may not always be the case. By establishing some ecosystem virus transmission models that cover both human perspectives and predators, we have drawn the following conclusions: (1) Controlling vaccination activities from the human perspective can potentially lower the transmission rate and improve herd immunity, thereby indirectly protecting unvaccinated risk groups.
