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.

Evaluating Causes of Death and Morbidity in Iran, Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010

TL;DR: Although non-communicable diseases had the greatest burden in 2010, the challenge of communicable and maternal diseases for health system is not over yet and Iranians would greatly benefit from effective strategies to prevent injury and musculoskeletal disorders and expand mental care.

Alterations of the Host Microbiome Affect Behavioral Responses to Cocaine

TL;DR: This study presents the first evidence that alterations in the gut microbiota affect behavioral response to drugs of abuse, and shows animals with reduced gut bacteria showed an enhanced sensitivity to cocaine reward and enhancedensitivity to the locomotor-sensitizing effects of repeated cocaine administration.

Effect of water, sanitation, and hygiene on the prevention of trachoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Matthew Freeman and colleagues identified 86 individual studies that reported a measure of the effect of water, sanitation, and hygiene on trachoma and conducted 15 meta-analyses for specific exposure-outcome pairs.
Journal ArticleDOI

New diagnostic tools in schistosomiasis

TL;DR: An update of the latest developments in schistosomiasis diagnosis, including microscopic techniques, rapid diagnostic tests for antigen detection, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays and proxy markers for morbidity assessments, is provided.

Neurovascular unit dysfunction with blood-brain barrier hyperpermeability contributes to major depressive disorder: a review of clinical and experimental evidence

TL;DR: The hypothesis that alterations in endothelial nitric oxide levels and endothelial Nitric oxide synthase uncoupling are central mechanistic links in this regard is discussed, which may help to identify novel therapeutic and preventative approaches to major depressive disorder.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
