Timely implementation to contain infectious diseases (e.g., quarantine, contact tracing, isolation) is critical to curb transmission and safeguard the health and readiness of U.S. Servicemembers. This proactive approach ensures that mission-critical operations remain unaffected. We focus on the collaborative efforts of Servicemembers from the 351st Civil Affairs Command during the Salaknib 2023 exercise in the Philippines. These SMs harnessed readily available cell phone applications to deliver rapid and effective public health messaging, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases. Targeted infographics were created and disseminated through mobile apps widely used by the population. The infographics were powerful tools for conveying critical, visually engaging information, facilitating rapid understanding and compliance with recommended health measures.

Background And Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its more severe subtype, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), are highly prevalent and strongly associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study sought to identify challenges to the diagnosis, treatment and management of people living with MASLD and MASH and understand the key barriers to adopting relevant clinical guidelines.
Methods: A real-world, cross-sectional study (BARRIERS-MASLD) consisting of a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews of physicians in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom was conducted from March to September 2023.
