Background: Eating disorders (EDs) have increasingly become a public health problem globally, especially among children and adolescents.
Aim: To estimate the burden of EDs in children and adolescents (ages 5-19 years) at the global, regional, and national levels.
Methods: Retrieved from Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 for EDs, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, we extracted the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and prevalence rates with 95% uncertainty intervals between 1990-2019. The temporal trends of the DALYs and prevalence rates of EDs were assessed according to the estimated annual percentage changes.
Results: In our study, we found that the burden of EDs continuously increased globally from 1990 to 2019. Although females accounted for more EDs cases, the burden of EDs in males had a greater increment. Meanwhile, the burden of EDs was associated with the high sociodemographic index (SDI) over the past 30 years and the human development indexes in 2019.
Conclusion: EDs, predominantly in high-income countries, are rising globally, especially in Asia, highlighting the need for resource planning and medical policy prioritization across all SDI quintiles.

A technology was developed for managing Zn-bearing dust, facilitating the recycling of hazardous solid waste and the production of porous carbon materials. In the one-step process, Zn-bearing dusts were employed not only as raw materials to prepare reduced Zn-bearing dust pellets but also as activators to prepare K, Na-embedded activated carbon. In the process, the Fe, C, Zn, K, and Na in the dusts were rationally utilized.

Study Objective: To understand trends in nonfatal firearm injuries by examining rates of firearm injury emergency department (ED) visits stratified by individual- and county-level characteristics.
Methods: Data from participating EDs within 10 jurisdictions in the United States funded through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Firearm Injury Surveillance Through Emergency Rooms program, including the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia, were analyzed. We examined trends in firearm injury ED visits by sex, age group, jurisdiction, county-level urbanicity, and county-level social vulnerability from January 2019 to August 2023.

Background: Asbestos exposure and its pathological consequences, especially malignant mesothelioma (MM) still represent a major public health problem on a global scale. After the ban of asbestos in most western countries, nonoccupational exposure plays an essential role in MM pathogenesis. However, few studies have quantified asbestos lung burden after environmental exposure.
