Renal and Functional Vulnerability in Hansen Disease: A Framework for Chronic Infectious Disability in Endemic Settings

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Hansen disease is a neglected infectious disease associated with reactional inflammation, neuropathy and long‐term disability. Renal involvement and sarcopenia have been described separately, but their clinical coexistence has received limited attention. This review examines evidence for a hypothesised renal–functional vulnerability

Placental mitochondrial metabolic adaptation maintains cellular energy balance in pregnancy complicated by gestational hypoxia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Placental mitochondrial adaptation to gestational hypoxia. Hypoxic pregnancy in sheep increases placental insulin like growth factor 2 (IGF2) signalling (1), which is associated with a shift in capacity away from β‐oxidation (2) and complex I‐mediated respiration (3), while maintaining total oxidative phosphorylation capacity (4).

Born early, age fast: Consequences of premature birth on chronic disease and accelerated ageing

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend ELGANs are exposed to several postnatal pro‐oxidant stressors, including ambient and supplemental oxygen, mechanical ventilation, infections, hyperalimentation, excessive glucocorticoids and intermittent hypoxia. Since endogenous antioxidant defences are underdeveloped, this imbalance promotes oxidative stress and inflammation ...

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Severe Household Food Insecurity and Malnutrition Among School‐Going Adolescents in South Punjab, Pakistan: Implications for Sustainable Development Goal 2 (A Cross‐Sectional Study)

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2026.
A cross‐sectional study of 384 school‐going adolescents in peri‐urban South Punjab, Pakistan, found a high prevalence of severe household food insecurity (95.1%), including thinness, stunting, and overweight/obesity. These findings underscore the need for school‐based nutrition interventions and policies supporting Sustainable Development Goal 2 ...
