Novel research shows that in approximately one third of countries and territories worldwide, population aging was the largest contributor to the growing burden of musculoskeletal disorders from 1990 to 2021. The new study in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, published by Elsevier, is poised to inform targeted public health strategies and healthcare resource allocation to alleviate the global burden and economic impact of these disorders.

Temporally complex problem-solving environments are commonplace in organizations. In an innovative study, a researcher from Yonsei University, in collaboration with other scientists, has shown that limited external knowledge in such situations can lead to worse performance than having no external knowledge at all. These findings are expected to further organizational decision-making and strategy, education and training, public policy and healthcare, technology and AI integration, and individual career development.
