Cumulative , quantified by estimated bone lead levels, was associated with higher mortality in the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023.

In 2023, lead exposure accounted for 3.5 million deaths and 71.6 million disability-adjusted life-years globally, or 5.8% of all deaths and 2.6% of all DALYs, making lead the eighth leading risk factor for world mortality and the second leading environmental risk.

Despite substantial declines in blood lead levels following regulatory action, continued exposure from legacy contamination and industries such as battery recycling remains widespread, with highest burdens observed in South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and North Africa/Middle East.

In 2021, dermatologist David Ozog was on holiday with his family in the Bahamas, when his 18-year-old son had a massive stroke. The teenager was airlifted to Florida, and then to Chicago for surgery. As his son was lying partially paralyzed in a hospital bed, Ozog got a call from a colleague who had an unconventional suggestion.

The colleague, a dermatologist at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, told Ozog about research he was conducting with the US Department of Defense. Early results hinted that red and near-infrared light applied to the head might protect neural tissue after brain injury. He urged Ozog to consider trying it on his son. http://spklr.io/6009EyRgW

Skin remembers. That scar above your eye from when you fell at age 6. That freckle from the summer you turned 13. Our skin is a repository of moments from our lives, and now scientists have found it really does remember. For people with inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis, the skin’s memory manifests in flare-ups in the same spots over and over. And now scientists think they know precisely why this happens. http://spklr.io/6047EyruN
