Article Abstract
Background: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is one of the most common toxic occupational diseases, but related data in China are scarce. A better understanding of the burden of CO poisoning is essential for improving its management.
Methods: A systematic analysis of data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019 was conducted. Following the general analytical strategy used in the GBD Study 2019, the sex- and age-specific incidence and mortality rates of CO poisoning and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to CO poisoning in China were analyzed. Estimated average annual percentage changes (AAPCs) in age-standardized rates were calculated by joinpoint regression analysis. The effects of age, period and cohort on the incidence of CO poisoning and DALYs due to CO poisoning were estimated by an age-period-cohort model.
Results: The age-standardized incidence and mortality rates as well as DALYs of CO poisoning per 100,000 population were estimated to be 21.82 [95% uncertainty interval (UI): 15.05-29.98], 0.93 (95% UI: 0.63-1.11), and 40.92 (95% UI: 28.43-47.85), respectively, in 2019. From 1990 to 2019, the AAPCs in the age-standardized incidence significantly increased in both males and females, while the age-standardized mortality rates and DALYs significantly decreased in both males and females. The incidence of CO poisoning peaked in individuals aged 15-19 years. Males had a higher burden of CO poisoning than females. The age effect showed that the relative risks (RRs) of incident CO poisoning decreased with age among males and females and that individuals aged 15-24 years had the highest RRs. The RRs of incident CO poisoning increased with time. The cohort effect showed that the incidence increased in successive birth cohorts.
Conclusions: The incidence of CO poisoning in China increased from 1990 to 2019. More attention should be given to improving the burden of CO poisoning in Chinese adolescents. The results of this study can be used by health authorities to inform preventative measures to reduce the burden of CO poisoning.

A Brazilian Minamata disease? Neurologists must be aware of mercury exposure and intoxication.

Mercury intoxication poses a significant challenge and growing threat to public health, particularly in the Amazon region. Despite a known history of neurological damage, as evidenced by Japan's Minamata disease, mercury intoxication remains underdiagnosed in Brazil. This review underscores the need for increased clinical awareness among neurologists, as mercury exposure has been linked to over 250 neurological symptoms, including cognitive impairment, cerebellar ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, and psychiatric disturbances.

However, when diagnosed, appropriate treatment can prevent long-term morbidity. A case is presented, reinforcing the importance of thorough history-taking and international guidelines in successful treatment.

Moraxella catarrhalis is a Gram-negative diplococcus bacterium and a common respiratory pathogen, implicated in 15-20% of otitis media (OM) cases in children and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults. The rise of drug-resistant Moraxella catarrhalis has highlighted the urgent need for the potent vaccine strategies to reduce its clinical burden. Despite a mortality rate of 13%, there is no FDA-approved vaccine for this pathogen.

Unlabelled: Long-term lead exposure damages the central nervous system, with chronic poisoning strongly linked to intellectual developmental disability (IDD) and disproportionately affecting children and adolescents. Using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database, this study analyzed temporal, spatial, and population-specific trends in lead-attributable IDD burden among global children/adolescents (1990-2021) and projected trends to 2040 to inform global public health strategies. GBD 2021 data characterized global, regional, and national distributions of lead-attributable IDD burden.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the fastest-growing global contributor to the disease burden associated with the consequences of chronic liver disease, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. It is projected that more than fifty percent of the adult population, including women, smokers, and individuals without metabolic syndrome, will have NAFLD by 2040. Various mechanisms linking the gut microbiome to NAFLD and the consequent fibrosis have been discerned, which suggest the dysbiosis-induced impairment of gut endothelial barrier function, leading to hepatic inflammation through the translocation of bacterial components.
