Global health is becoming increasingly relevant to GPs in the UK. A gap analysis revealed many global health capabilities are not currently in the GP curriculum. We undertook a survey of 240 GP educators to understand their views on global health and capacity to deliver global health teaching to GP trainees. This revealed a wide variation of experience, training, and confidence in global health teaching. It is important that the needs of GP trainers are taken into account when considering how global health training will be delivered.

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.

Microbiome-animal host symbioses are ubiquitous in nature. Animal-associated microbiomes can play a crucial role in host physiology, health and resilience to environmental stressors. As climate change drives rising global temperatures and increases the frequency of thermal extremes, microbiomes are emerging as a new frontier in buffering vulnerable animals against temperature fluctuations.

Importance: Semaglutide, a novel glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist medication, was approved for weight management in individuals with obesity in June 2021. There is limited evidence on factors associated with uptake among individuals in this subgroup without diabetes.
Objective: To explore factors associated with semaglutide initiation among a population of commercially insured individuals with obesity but no diagnosed diabetes.
Tolerance to land-use changes through natural modulations of the plant microbiome.

Land-use changes threaten ecosystems and are a major driver of species loss. Plants may adapt or migrate to resist global change, but this can lag behind rapid anthropogenic changes to the environment. Our data show that natural modulations of the microbiome of grassland plants in response to experimental land-use change in a common garden directly affect plant phenotype and performance, thus increasing plant tolerance.

Department of Internal Medicine 3, Rheumatology and Immunology, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and Universitätsklinikum Erlangen, Erlangen, Germany.
Introduction: Prescribable digital health applications (DiGAs) present scalable solutions to improve patient self-management in rheumatology, however real-world evidence is scarce. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effectiveness, usage, and usability of DiGAs prescribed by rheumatologists, as well as patient satisfaction.
Methods: The DiGAReal registry includes adult patients with rheumatic conditions who received a DiGA prescription.
