Environmental pollution has negative health effects and biomonitoring is necessary to identify the regions, local sources, and temporal distribution of air pollution. The aim of this study was the estimation of cell viability, oxidative stress, DNA damage, cell cycle alterations and activation of histone H2A.X. Evidence is shown that γH2A.X may serve as a marker for monitoring the risk of air pollutant exposure.

This study discusses the role of antioxidants in treating Alzheimer’s disease (AD), highlighting their potential to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.

WHO recommends dolutegravir as the preferred anchor drug for first-line and second-line HIV treatment, and is being rolled out globally. This study shows that dolutegravir is safe but clinicians should nonetheless be aware of the risk of psychiatric manifestations in children and adolescents taking the drug.
This Article supports SDG 3 by showing, through a modelling analysis, that community tenofovir, lamivudine, and dolutegravir (TLD) is likely to reduce HIV incidence and be cost-effective, thus leading to population health benefits.
This Article supports SDG 3 by showing that interventions and strategies to reduce mortality from HIV-related CNS infection in public hospitals within routine care services can substantially reduce all-cause 2-week mortality among people living with HIV presenting to public hospitals with suspected HIV-related CNS infection.
This text ties into several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). It highlights the role of sensors in advancing smart technologies and infrastructure, which can optimize industrial processes, improve healthcare, and contribute to sustainable urban development. Additionally, it touches on SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through the potential of wearable and implantable sensors to enhance health monitoring and disease prevention.
