Consolidated Newborn Bloodspot Screening Efforts in Developing Countries in the Asia Pacific-2024.
Int J Neonatal Screen

Independent Researcher, 307-N, Street 113, Phase 1, DHA, Lahore 54792, Pakistan.
Approximately half of all births globally occur in the Asia Pacific Region. Concerted efforts to support local activities aimed at developing national newborn screening (NBS) have been ongoing for almost 30 years, first by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and then through volunteer efforts. Sustainable newborn bloodspot screening (NBS) continues to be initiated and develop in many of the countries with developing economies in the region.

BMC Glob Public Health
October 2024
Department of Physiology, Faculty of Biomedical and Psychological Sciences, Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, Clayton, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- The Asia-Pacific region faces a significant challenge with obesity, which is linked to various health issues and rising medical costs; a hypothetical 10% weight loss could lead to significant savings over the next decade.
- Using an epidemiological-economic model, the study assessed current and future obesity-related health costs and problems in Australia, South Korea, Thailand, and India, revealing that costs could increase dramatically if no action is taken.
- A 10% weight reduction could save billions in medical expenses by 2032 while reducing the incidence of obesity-related comorbidities, highlighting the need for effective policies to support obesity management in the region.
A horizon scan of biological conservation issues for 2025.
Trends Ecol Evol
January 2025
Conservation Science Group, Department of Zoology, Cambridge University, The David Attenborough Building, Pembroke Street, Cambridge, CB2 3QZ, UK.
We discuss the outcomes of our 16th horizon scan of issues that are novel or represent a considerable step-change and have the potential to substantially affect conservation of biological diversity in the coming decade. From an initial 96 topics, our international panel of 32 scientists and practitioners prioritised 15 issues. Technological advances are prominent, including metal and non-metal organic frameworks, deriving rare earth elements from macroalgae, synthetic gene drives in plants, and low-emission cement.

Lancet Public Health
November 2024
WHO, Country Office India, New Delhi, India.
Background: Excess dietary sodium intake has been associated with death and disability. WHO has released global sodium benchmarks for packaged foods to support countries to reduce population sodium intake. This study aimed to assess the potential health effect, costs, and cost effectiveness of implementing these WHO sodium benchmarks in India.

Pediatr Nephrol
March 2025
Center for Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, University Hospital Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- The lack of standardized definitions for clinical trial endpoints in pediatric kidney diseases makes it difficult to assess the effectiveness of treatments, particularly for steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS).
- SRNS is challenging to manage, often leading to kidney failure despite current therapies having low cure rates.
- An international group has developed standardized definitions for trial outcomes in SRNS, focusing on measurements like urine protein/creatinine ratios and estimated glomerular filtration rates to better evaluate treatment effectiveness.
