TLDR
The results for 1990 and 2010 supersede all previously published Global Burden of Disease results and highlight the importance of understanding local burden of disease and setting goals and targets for the post-2015 agenda taking such patterns into account.

The effect of financial compensation on health outcomes following musculoskeletal injury: systematic review.

TL;DR: This systematic review identifies compensation related factors associated with poorer health outcomes following musculoskeletal injury and found mixed evidence of an association between compensation status and poorer psychological function and legal representation and poorer physical function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effective strategies for scaling up evidence-based practices in primary care: a systematic review

TL;DR: Few studies assessing strategies for scaling up EBPs in primary care settings are found, and it is uncertain whether any strategies were effective as most studies focused more on patient/provider outcomes and less on scaling-up process outcomes.

Signal Processing and Machine Learning for Mental Health Research and Clinical Applications [Perspectives]

TL;DR: Human behavior offers a window into the mind when the authors observe someone's actions-their beliefs, intents, and knowledge-a concept known as theory of mind.

Promotion, prevention and protection: interventions at the population- and community-levels for mental, neurological and substance use disorders in low- and middle-income countries.

TL;DR: Interventions provided at the population- and community-levels have an important role to play in promoting mental health, preventing the onset, and protecting those with MNS disorders, and the need for further research on interventions at these levels in LMICs is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

One-step purification and concentration of DNA in porous membranes for point-of-care applications

TL;DR: A simple-to-use, inexpensive, and disposable sample preparation system for in-membrane purification and concentration of NAs, which can be used on a wide range of sample types, which are prepared for use in downstream processes, such as qPCR, without further purification.

Global and regional mortality from 235 causes of death for 20 age groups in 1990 and 2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

Rafael Lozano, +195 more
- 15 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 aimed to estimate annual deaths for the world and 21 regions between 1980 and 2010 for 235 causes, with uncertainty intervals (UIs), separately by age and sex, using the Cause of Death Ensemble model.
Book

The global burden of disease: a comprehensive assessment of mortality and disability from diseases injuries and risk factors in 1990 and projected to 2020.

TL;DR: This is the first in a planned series of 10 volumes that will attempt to "summarize epidemiological knowledge about all major conditions and most risk factors" and use historical trends in main determinants to project mortality and disease burden forward to 2020.

Years lived with disability (YLDs) for 1160 sequelae of 289 diseases and injuries 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

TL;DR: Prevalence and severity of health loss were weakly correlated and age-specific prevalence of YLDs increased with age in all regions and has decreased slightly from 1990 to 2010, but population growth and ageing have increased YLD numbers and crude rates over the past two decades.

Global mortality, disability, and the contribution of risk factors: Global Burden of Disease Study

TL;DR: The three leading contributors to the burden of disease are communicable and perinatal disorders affecting children, and the substantial burdens of neuropsychiatric disorders and injuries are under-recognised.
