Summary: The study found that commercial industry activities have significant impacts on the health and well-being of Indigenous populations in high-income countries, with extractive (mining), tobacco, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, alcohol, and gambling industries playing roles. While harmful commercial practices such as exploitation of Indigenous land, marketing, lobbying, and corporate social responsibility were common, there were also positive activities that reinforced cultural expression, cultural continuity, and Indigenous self-determination. Few articles highlighted Indigenous involvement in the study design and implementation, indicating the need for more Indigenous-led or collaborative research on commercial determinants of Indigenous health.

Summary: This study assessed the utility and measurement properties of the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (SWEMWBS) in a Swedish general population survey. The results indicated acceptable fit to the Rasch measurement model, but the targeting of items was skewed towards lower levels of well-being and there was a ceiling effect. Therefore, the use of SWEMWBS as a tool in general public health surveys should be reconsidered.

Summary: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the efficacy of preventive treatment against allograft rejection after endothelial keratoplasty (EK) was evaluated. The results showed that Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) had a lower graft rejection rate compared to Descemet stripping (Automated) EK (DS(A)EK) or ultrathin (UT)-DSAEK. Soft steroids appeared to be a valuable alternative to standard steroids for preventing graft rejection after DMEK, with a lower risk of ocular hypertension. Further studies are needed to compare the effectiveness of other drugs in preventing graft rejection after EK.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the efficacy of thin and ultrathin Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (T-DSAEK and UT-DSAEK) with different graft thicknesses. The results showed that regardless of graft thickness, postoperative visual acuity, pachymetry, endothelial cell count, rejection rate, and rebubbling rate were similar among different thickness groups. Grafts thicker than 100 μm induced a hyperopic shift.

Summary: Individuals with depressive symptoms often experience changes in physical activity and lifestyle factors. Mental health clinicians do not usually recommend or prescribe exercise as part of traditional care for depression and anxiety. It is important to enhance clinicians' knowledge of the beneficial role of exercise in treatment for these mental health conditions. Mental health services can support exercise prescription by implementing policies and training staff to improve clinical outcomes for patients.
