Global, regional, and national burden of chronic respiratory diseases and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, 1990–2023: a Global Burden of Disease study

Estimates from the Global Burden of Disease study reveal declines in chronic respiratory disease mortality between 1990 and 2023—especially during the COVID-19 pandemic—but the burdens on people affected remain substantial.

Global burden of amphetamine, cannabis, cocaine and opioid use in 204 countries, 1990–2023: a Global Burden of Disease Study

Global Burden of Disease estimates show that between 1990 and 2023, the prevalence and burden of drug use disorders, inclusive of amphetamine, cannabis, cocaine and opioid use, have been increasing in high-income countries, particularly in the USA.

Characterising acute and chronic care needs: insights from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Chronic care manages long-term, progressive conditions, while acute care handles short-term ones. Here, authors show chronic conditions account for most of the global health burden, with 68% of DALYs and 93% of YLDs attributed to chronic care needs.

Mapping local patterns of childhood overweight and wasting in low- and middle-income countries between 2000 and 2017

Fine-scale geospatial mapping of overweight and wasting (two components of the double burden of malnutrition) in 105 LMICs shows that overweight has increased from 5.2% in 2000 to 6.0% in children under 5 in 2017. Although overall wasting decreased over the same period, most countries are not on track to meet the World Health Organization’s Global Nutrition Target of <5% in over half of LMICs by 2025.

Anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age in low- and middle-income countries between 2000 and 2018

Geospatial estimates of the prevalence of anemia in women of reproductive age across 82 low-income and middle-income countries reveals considerable heterogeneity and inequality at national and subnational levels, with few countries on track to meet the WHO Global Nutrition Targets by 2030.

Global, regional and national burden of dietary iron deficiency from 1990 to 2021: a Global Burden of Disease study

Systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease study reported that, despite global improvements from 1990 to 2021, dietary iron deficiency-associated disease burden remains high in women, children and residents in low socio-demographic index countries.

Mapping routine measles vaccination in low- and middle-income countries

Although progress in the coverage of routine measles vaccination in children in low- and middle-income countries was made during 2000–2019, many countries remain far from the goal of 80% coverage in all districts by 2019.

The overlapping burden of the three leading causes of disability and death in sub-Saharan African children

In this disease mapping study, the authors estimate disability-adjusted life year rates for three of the major causes of mortality for children under five 43 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. They identify significant heterogeneity at the subnational level, highlighting the need for a targeted intervention approach.

The structure–energy landscape of NMDA receptor gating

A linear gating mechanism links kinetically and structurally distinct closed and open states of NMDA receptors. During allosteric inhibition, agonist binding incudes uncoupling of structural changes from gating motions in the first transmembrane region.

Sarcolipin is a newly identified regulator of muscle-based thermogenesis in mammals

Animals use their muscles to shiver to generate heat when exposed to the cold. But this is a short-term adaptation. Long term, it is believed the body relies on the brown adipose tissue (BAT) to generate heat in a nonshivering fashion. New work from Muthu Periasamy and colleagues challenge this BAT-centric view by showing that the muscle is also a key site of nonshivering thermogenesis.
