On August 14, 2024, the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the increasing outbreaks of mpox (formerly monkeypox) should be regarded as an international public health emergency due to the growing number of cases in endemic and non-endemic geographical areas, and increasing disease severity. The latest update from the WHO and the alerts given regarding the status of mpox follows an upsurge in the incidence and severity of mpox in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and an increasing number of African countries, with spread to other continents and countries This Editorial aims to provide an update on the current status of mpox and includes reasons for the increasing global concerns for the spread of the mpox virus (MPXV).

Eating disorders among people with and without type 1 diabetes: incidence and treatment in a nationwide population-based cohort.
Diabetologia
January 2025
Department of Public Health, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
Aims/hypothesis: Eating disorders are over-represented in type 1 diabetes and are associated with an increased risk of complications, but it is unclear whether type 1 diabetes affects the treatment of eating disorders. We assessed incidence and treatment of eating disorders in a nationwide sample of individuals with type 1 diabetes and diabetes-free control individuals.
Methods: Our study comprised 11,055 individuals aged <30 who had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1998-2010, and 11,055 diabetes-free control individuals matched for age, sex and hospital district.

Carbon black (CB) as rubber reinforcement has raised environmental concerns regarding this traditional petroleum-based filler, which is less susceptible to biodegradability. Although it has great reinforcing properties, the production technique is no longer sustainable, and its cost increases regularly. For these reasons, it is wise to look for sustainable replacement materials.

BMJ Open
January 2025
Northwell Health, New Hyde Park, New York, USA.
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, though it may be prevented by increasing physical activity (PA). When behaviour change techniques (BCTs) are bundled together, they increase PA, though which individual BCTs increase PA (and the behavioural mechanism of action (MoA) responsible for said increase) have not been studied. The aim of this study is to conduct a randomised factorial experiment to determine which of four BCTs significantly engage the proposed MoA-self-efficacy for PA-in adults at risk for CVD.

Introduction: Observational studies have found that higher iron levels are associated with an increased risk of diabetes mellitus. Given the limitations of causal inferences from observational studies and the expensive and time-consuming nature of randomized controlled trials, Mendelian randomization analysis presents a reasonable alternative to study causal relationships. Previous MR analyses studying iron levels and diabetes have used indirect markers of iron levels, such as serum ferritin, and found conflicting results.

The implementation of innovative techniques to achieve low-salt strategies in cured products is a critical issue faced by the food industry. This study aimed to investigate the impact of ultrasound treatment on the quality of the low-salt air-dried fish. The results showed that compared to traditional liquid curing, ultrasound-assisted curing significantly increased the NaCl transfer rate, improved tenderness, and improved water retention and in vitro digestibility (p < 0.
