Despite a decade of global efforts, the world is far from reaching essential nutrition 2030 milestones set by the World Health Assembly, with critical gaps threatening the health of millions. According to a new Global Burden of Disease analysis, most countries are struggling to meet the six global nutrition targets set in 2012 to combat low birthweight, inadequate breastfeeding, child malnutrition, and anemia in reproductive-age women.

Although Republicans may understand the misinformation content is very likely false, they are willing to spread it to help their party gain an advantage over the opposition.

Queen Mary University of London's Tier 2 data centre is now powering up sustainability. By repurposing waste heat to provide hot water and heating for the Joseph Priestley Building and Mile End campus, Queen Mary is reducing our carbon footprint by 625 tonnes of CO2 annually. This innovative approach not only enhances the university's energy efficiency but also supports cutting-edge particle physics research with CERN's Large Hadron Collider and other groundbreaking projects. Data centres are typically energy-intensive, requiring significant electricity to maintain low temperatures. The heat generated during their operation is often wasted. By capturing and reusing this waste heat, this initiative repurposes this energy, reducing our reliance on gas boilers and cutting fossil fuel consumption.

In “Better Guidelines and Policies: AAP’s Partnership for Policy Implementation,”  published in the journal Pediatrics, the authors write that with the increasing use of electronic health records (EHRs) in pediatrics, medical societies need to eliminate ambiguity in their guidelines to standardize care delivery, improve care quality and patient outcomes and reduce variation and costs.  "Informaticians are ideally suited to help with the implementation and the clarity that guidelines need to be implemented or incorporated into EHRs that are widely prevalent in our healthcare systems," said Regenstrief Institute Research Scientist Randall Grout, M.D., M.S.  Dr. Grout is also the chief health informatics officer at Eskenazi Health and an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Indiana University School of Medicine.
