Summary: In the realm of health security and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the concept of 'public good' is frequently used interchangeably with 'common good'. However, there is a lack of clarity in defining whether antimicrobials are considered a public good or a common good. Various approaches to addressing AMR, such as statism, globalism, and regionalism, appeal to different values in guiding policymakers.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia on the risk of intracranial hemorrhage using a mouse model. The authors not only identify critical platelet thresholds but also demonstrate the development of resilience to thrombocytopenia-associated intracranial hemorrhage in mice shortly after birth.

Summary: The EquiPrEP Project aims to optimize the rollout of long-acting injectable HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (LAI-PrEP) in an urban safety-net clinic in New York City through an equity-oriented implementation science framework. The project seeks to increase overall LAI-PrEP initiation, improve uptake among groups disproportionately impacted by the HIV epidemic, maintain high PrEP retention while expanding use, and identify barriers and facilitators to LAI-PrEP use.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health behaviors in a cohort of adolescent, revealing that only a minority exhibited ideal behaviors, with younger adolescents showing better outcomes. Significant differences were observed in terms of sex, age, and education, with apprentices being at higher risk for non-ideal cardiovascular health behaviors.

Summary: This study reveals ethnic disparities in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its age-related patterns. Using data from NHANES and GGMP, the study finds that the prevalence of MetS increases nonlinearly with age and Chinese subjects have a lower prevalence of MetS compared to other American races. The most common MetS components in Chinese subjects are reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and elevated blood pressure, while elevated triglyceride levels and abdominal obesity are most common in Americans. Before the age of 40, abdominal obesity and elevated triglyceride levels are the prominent components associated with MetS in all races.

Summary: A plant pan-genome is typically larger than the genome of any individual plant, with many genes present in only some genomes. Constructing and interpreting plant pan-genomes is challenging due to the large size and repetitive content of plant genomes. Focus is often on nontransposable element protein coding genes, but noncoding and repetitive DNA also play important roles in genome evolution and phenotype determination.

Summary: The strong collaboration between the US and China in health and medicine is crucial for global efforts against COVID-19. It is important to reinvigorate academic and scientific exchanges, as well as acknowledge the valuable role of non-profit foundations. The shared interests and magnitude of the pandemic require both countries to collaborate and cooperate for controlling the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and preparing for future threats.

Summary: UPFI actors often oppose statutory regulation in health policy debates, claiming that regulatory policies do not work or have negative consequences. However, their arguments are rarely supported by high-quality, independent evidence, highlighting the potential lack of benefits from consulting actors with clear conflicts of interest.

Summary: Research shows that there is a complex relationship between dietary patterns and depressive symptoms, involving various biological and psychosocial mechanisms. Socioeconomic status is believed to be related to the occurrence of depressive symptoms, with those of lower status being more likely to experience persistent depression. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between socioeconomic and health factors and dietary assessment, as well as the relationship between dietary assessment and depressive symptoms.
