Decoding the Molecular Enigma Behind Asbestos and Fibrous Nanomaterial-induced carcinogenesis.

J Occup Health

January 2025

Department of Pathology and Biological Responses, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, 65 Tsurumai-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya 466-8550, Japan.

Objectives: Natural fibrous mineral, asbestos, has been useful in industry for many centuries. In the 1960's, epidemiology had recognized the association between asbestos exposure and mesothelioma and the IARC designated all kinds of asbestos as Group 1 in 1987. However, various scientific enigmas remained regarding the molecular mechanisms of asbestos-induced mesothelial carcinogenesis.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global health challenge, particularly in maritime environments where unique conditions foster its emergence and spread. Characterized by confined spaces, high population density, and extensive global mobility, ships create a setting ripe for the development and dissemination of resistant pathogens. This review aims to analyse the contributing factors, epidemiological challenges, mitigation strategies specific to AMR on ships and to propose future research directions, bridging a significant gap in the literature.

German recommendations for the diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), also known as extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA), were last published in 2007 [1]. The current S2k Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP) replaces these diagnostic recommendations. They were supplemented by the aspect of chronic, and in particular of the chronic fibrotic phenotype of HP, and also, as first HP guideline, include treatment recommendations.

Descriptive study on oral health and pathologies in vulnerable migrant adolescents from North and West Africa.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Dentistry, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Fernando Pessoa Canarias, Santa María de Guía, Gran Canaria, Spain.

This descriptive study focuses on the oral health of African migrants, especially adolescents, arriving in the Canary Islands. Notably, these patients show a high prevalence of caries and oral mucosal alterations. These are influenced by multifactorial factors, such as living conditions in their country of origin, hygiene habits, and sugar-rich diets.

Background: Cholera outbreaks are surging worldwide. Growing research supports case-area targeted interventions (CATIs), whereby teams provide a package of interventions to case and neighboring households, as an effective strategy in cholera outbreak control, particularly in humanitarian settings. While research exists on individual CATI interventions, research gaps exist on outcomes of integrated interventions during CATI responses.
