Global, regional, and national burden of HIV/AIDS, 1990-2023, with the estimated burden attributable to intimate partner violence and forecasted impacts of funding cuts through 2030: results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023.

This study aimed to quantify recent trends in the HIV burden, the magnitude of the HIV burden associated with IPV, and the potential impact of declining financial support globally, and to estimate how funding levels could affect antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverage.

Global, regional, and national burden of exposure to chewing tobacco, 1990-2023: a systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023.

BACKGROUND Exposure to chewing tobacco is a known health risk factor but has received less attention than smoking in global tobacco control efforts. As the evidence base linking chewing tobacco use to poor health grows, it is essential to closely track the changing use of chewing tobacco distinct from other forms of sm...

Chrysin-loaded casein nanoparticles protect against chlorfenapyr-induced renal injury through modulation of Nrf2/HO-1, NF-κB, and mitochondrial bioenergetics.

BACKGROUND Chlorfenapyr (CFP) is a pesticide that induces nephrotoxicity through oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and apoptosis. Casein nanoparticles may enhance the therapeutic efficacy of chrysin (CY). OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the protective effects of free CY and chrysin-loaded case...

Gallic Acid-Loaded Chitosan Nanoparticles Mitigate Methomyl-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Rats: Associations with Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Apoptotic Signaling

Global, regional, and national prevalence of second-hand smoke and attributable disease burden in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2023: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023

It is estimated that SHS remains a substantial driver of global health loss, particularly through cardiovascular and paediatric respiratory diseases, and growing absolute numbers of exposed individuals in several regions underscore the urgent need for accelerated implementation and enforcement of comprehensive tobacco...
