TL;DR: Interventions that restrict antibiotic use in food-producing animals are associated with a reduction in the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in these animals and in humans, and a smaller body of evidence suggests a similar association in the studied human populations, particularly those with direct exposure to food- producing animals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that climate change can directly affect human health by varying exposure to non-optimal outdoor temperature, however, evidence on this direct impact at a global scale is limited.

TL;DR: Emissions reduction strategies including avoidance of desflurane and occupancy-based ventilation have the potential to lessen the climate impact of surgical services without compromising patient safety.

TL;DR: The results show that farm size and diversity of agricultural production vary substantially across regions and are key structural determinants of food and nutrient production that need to be considered in plans to meet social, economic, and environmental targets.

TL;DR: Increased amounts of residential greenness were associated with reduced risks of dying from several common causes of death among urban Canadians, and evidence of inequalities was identified in terms of exposures to greenness and mortality risks.

TL;DR: It is found that weather-related disasters could affect about two-thirds of the European population annually by the year 2100, mainly through a rise in the frequency of heatwaves, which is dominated by global warming.

TL;DR: The results suggest that most of the health effects of PM2·5 come from PM1, and that 4·47% and 5·05% of daily emergency hospital visits in China could be attributed to ambient PM1 and PM3·5 pollution, respectively.

TL;DR: Environmental exposure to higher concentrations of PM10, NO2, and CO is associated with increased risk of incident chronic kidney disease, eGFR decline, and end-stage renal disease.

TL;DR: Higher BPA, BPF, and BPS concentrations were observed in obese adults than non-obese adults and BPF or BPS, at current exposure level, was not significantly associated with obesity in U.S. adults.

TL;DR: Adult men working in agricultural areas were at highest risk of knowlesi malaria, although peri-domestic transmission also occurrs, and human behavioural factors associated with P knowlesi transmission could be targeted in future public health interventions.
TL;DR: Short-term exposure to particulate ambient air pollution is associated with increases in cardiorespiratory morbidity and mortality in LMIC's, with apparent regional-specific variations.
TL;DR: This study advances the state-of-the-art of climate services for the health sector, by showing the potential value of incorporating climate information in the public health decision-making process in Ecuador.
TL;DR: The amount of warning received showed evidence of being protective against symptoms of the three mental illnesses studied, and the severity of flooding might be the reason for some, but not all, of the differences between the groups.
TL;DR: The results suggest that poor air quality is a modifiable risk factor for bone fractures and osteoporosis, especially in low-income communities.
TL;DR: Fixed effects regression showed that informal socializing and social participation buffered the risk of cognitive decline resulting from housing damage and may prevent cognitive impairment following natural disaster.
TL;DR: The results imply the importance of green environments for mental wellbeing in sub-Saharan African settings experiencing rapid urbanisation, economic and epidemiological transition, reaffirming the need to incorporate environmental services and benefits for sustainable socioeconomic development.
TL;DR: Housing-level policy related to the optimisation of healthy density in cities might be a potential upstream-level public health intervention towards the minimisation and offsetting of obesity; however, further research based on accumulated prospective data is necessary for evidencing specific pathways.
TL;DR: A relationship between prenatal exposure to higher levels of vanadium and increased risk of adverse birth outcomes is revealed, suggesting that vanadium might be a potential toxic metal for human beings.
TL;DR: Building elements, which have been successfully employed in southeast Asia to prevent mosquitos from entering and cooling the house, could be integrated in a more sustainable house design in rural northeastern Tanzania, Africa, to decrease mosquito density and regulate indoor climate.
TL;DR: Drought conditions increased risk of mortality during high-severity worsening drought, but decreased the risk of respiratory admissions during full drought periods among older adults, describing an understudied environmental association with global health significance.
TL;DR: Antenatal toluene was a novel exposure associated with severe LRTI andUrgent and effective interventions focusing on antenatal environmental factors are required, including smoking cessation programmes targeting women of childbearing age pre-conception and pregnant women.
TL;DR: Particulate matter has acute pro-arrhythmic effects in a population of high-risk patients, which increase on exposure to fine particles and in patients who have experienced a previous myocardial infarction.
TL;DR: These findings strengthen the hypothesis that air pollution affects not just cardiopulmonary diseases, but also certain diseases of the digestive system, as well as short-term elevation in ambient NO2 might trigger peptic ulcer bleeding events and increase the risk of emergency hospital admissions in Hong Kong's elderly population.
