Summary: Mobile health (m-Health) was hailed as an innovative area for global healthcare digital transformation, but the commercialization has led to a schism between mobile health capitalism and the science of mobile health. The divergence is more evident in low and middle-income countries. Digital health has become a conjecture term without clear distinctions. Lessons can be learnt from COVID-19 pandemic to address the critical aspects in mobile and digital health.

Summary: This study found that 8 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) led to more positive adaptations in cardiometabolic health for overweight/obese individuals compared to traditional moderate intensity continuous training (MICT). Furthermore, the positive effects of HIIT were maintained after a 4-week training cessation, while all positive effects of MICT were reversed.

Summary: Exertional heat stroke is a life-threatening condition that mainly affects athletes, military personnel, firefighters, and occupational workers. It can be caused by prolonged and strenuous physical activities in high heat conditions, with exercise-induced muscle damage being a potential predisposing factor for EHS and AKI. Understanding this relationship may help to minimize the risks of EHS and AKI for individuals engaging in physical work in hot environments.

Summary: This study shows a higher prevalence of food insecurity in the US since the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in surveys targeting high-risk populations. Certain demographic groups, such as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, households with children, and those with job disruptions, are at higher risk of food insecurity. The variability in estimates is reported due to the differences in survey implementation methods.
