Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2... by Michael, Brauer

“…For younger demographics (ie, those aged 0–4 years and 5–14 years), risks such as low birthweight and short gestation and unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing (WaSH) were among the leading risk factors, while for older age groups, metabolic risks such as high SBP, high body-mass index (BMI), high FPG, and high LDL cholesterol had a greater impact. From 2000 to 2021, there was an observable shift in global health challenges, marked by a decline in the number of all-age DALYs broadly attributable to behavioural risks (decrease of 20·7% [13·9–27·7]) and environmental and occupational risks (decrease of 22·0% [15·5–28·8]), coupled with a 49·4% (42·3–56·9) increase in DALYs attributable to metabolic risks, all reflecting ageing populations and changing lifestyles on a global scale. …”

Osmotic-driven release of papaverine hydrochloride from novel poly(decane-co-tricarballylate) elastomeric matrices by Shaker, Mohamed A.

“…Furthermore, it was found that coformulating papaverine hydrochloride with trehalose increases the release rate without altering the linear nature of the drug release kinetics. Conclusions: A new delivery vehicle composed of biodegradable poly(decane-co-tricarballylate) elastomers was demonstrated to be a promising and effective matrix for linear, constant and controllable osmotic-driven release of drugs. © 2010 Future Science Ltd.…”
