This issue features ten research articles from a diverse group of authors spanning multiple countries and disciplines. Contributions from China include an analysis of e-cigarette policy and its influence on youth; indicators for emergency responsiveness in urban public health management; the silkworm as a promising model for natural drug discovery in diabetes research; a global burden of disease analysis of pancreatitis in 2021 with projections to 2030 that highlight a reversal in global health disparities; and an analysis of the trajectory of depressive symptoms and chronic conditions over eight years among middle-aged and older adults that identifies predictors of disease progression. From Vietnam comes a pilot model integrating intensive HIV-1 drug resistance testing with decentralized care delivery in limited-resource settings. Japanese studies in this issue include a regional assessment of high-risk populations for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, an analysis of the association between procedural volume and 30-day mortality among stroke patients treated with endovascular therapy (EVT) or intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), a nationwide cross-sectional study evaluating the adequacy of patient information transfer from hospitals to psychiatric home-visit nurses, and a questionnaire-based investigation into factors affecting the attitudes of midwives and nurses at multiple perinatal centers in Osaka toward the care of foreign pregnant and postpartum women.
