my US Candidate Amy Pope Wins Tense Contest to Run UN Migration Agency By www.voanews.com Published On :: Mon, 15 May 2023 11:25:48 -0400 Geneva — Former White House adviser Amy Pope won a vote in Geneva on Monday to head the U.N. migration agency, prevailing in a tense contest against a Portuguese incumbent who had the support of European countries. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said Pope would become the first woman to lead the organization when she begins her five-year term on Oct. 1. Pope, who served as Deputy Director General for Management and Reform at IOM, took leave to campaign against her boss Antonio Vitorino, who has been in the position since 2018. Pope wrote on Twitter she was "humbled and honored" to be chosen by IOM's 175 member states as new director general. "I am ready to work with ALL our member states and global partners to unleash the opportunities provided by effective, orderly and humane migration," she wrote. In 2021, Pope served as Senior Advisor on Migration to U.S. President Joe Biden, who publicly backed her candidacy. "As IOM's largest bilateral donor, the United States strongly supports Ms. Pope's vision and looks forward to working with her to implement the critical reforms necessary to create a more effective, inclusive IOM," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. More than 100 million people are forcibly displaced around the world and IOM seeks to ensure humane and orderly migration and intervenes where needed. Vitorino, a former European Commissioner who is close to his compatriot United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, had touted an increase in the body's annual budget among his successes. Asked about the contest earlier this year, Vitorino described it as unprecedented. "We have never happened to have an incumbent director general that faces a competition with one of his deputy generals. Let's call it an innovation," Vitorino told journalists in March. He said at the time he had Portugal's backing as well as the "strong encouragement" of the European Union. Full Article World News

my Promoting Male Involvement in Family Planning: Insights From the No-Scalpel Vasectomy Program of Davao City, Philippines By ghspjournal.org Published On :: 2024-10-29T12:28:39-07:00 ABSTRACTDespite global consensus on the importance of male involvement in family planning, disparities persist in low- and middle-income countries, where women continue to bear the responsibility for these initiatives. The Philippines, with a high fertility rate and unmet family planning needs, exemplifies this challenge. We present the experiences and lessons learned from implementing the no-scalpel vasectomy (NSV) program in Davao City, showcasing its potential for increasing male engagement in family planning decisions. Launched in 2008, the program aimed to address gender disparity by promoting NSV as a safe and effective contraceptive alternative to female-centric methods. Through the use of culturally sensitive information campaigns and couple-focused counseling, the program challenged traditional notions of masculinity and encouraged shared decision-making. Strong local government commitment and public-private partnerships played key roles in driving the program’s success. Results showed an average annual increase of 80% in NSV clients over the past 3 years compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic, underscoring its effectiveness. The program presents a compelling intervention model for similar initiatives, highlighting how overcoming cultural barriers, infrastructure limitations, and budgetary constraints through policy advocacy, strategic partnerships, and tailored approaches can significantly boost male involvement in family planning and improve reproductive health outcomes within communities.

my Cannabinoid 2 Receptor Activation Protects against Diabetic Cardiomyopathy through Inhibition of AGE/RAGE-Induced Oxidative Stress, Fibrosis, and Inflammasome Activation [Special Section: Cannabinoid Signaling in Human Health and Disease] By jpet.aspetjournals.org Published On :: 2024-10-18T07:04:15-07:00 Oxidative stress, fibrosis, and inflammasome activation from advanced glycation end product (AGE)–receptor of advanced glycation end product (RAGE) interaction contribute to diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) formation and progression. Our study revealed the impact of β-caryophyllene (BCP) on activating cannabinoid type 2 receptors (CB2Rs) against diabetic complication, mainly cardiomyopathy and investigated the underlying cell signaling pathways in mice. The murine model of DCM was developed by feeding a high-fat diet with streptozotocin injections. After the development of diabetes, the animals received a 12-week oral BCP treatment at a dose of 50 mg/kg/body weight. BCP treatment showed significant improvement in glucose tolerance and insulin resistance and enhanced serum insulin levels in diabetic animals. BCP treatment effectively reversed the heart remodeling and restored the phosphorylated troponin I and sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 2a expression. Ultrastructural examination showed reduced myocardial cell injury in DCM mice treated with BCP. The preserved myocytes were found to be associated with reduced expression of AGE/RAGE in DCM mice hearts. BCP treatment mitigated oxidative stress by inhibiting expression of NADPH oxidase 4 and activating phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling. Also, BCP suppressed cardiac fibrosis and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition in DCM mice by inhibiting transforming growth factor β (TGF-β)/suppressor of mothers against decapentaplegic (Smad) signaling. Further, BCP treatment suppressed nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich–containing family, pyrin domain–containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation in DCM mice and alleviated cellular injury to the pancreatic tissues evidenced by significant elevation of the number of insulin-positive cells. To demonstrate a CB2R-dependent mechanism of BCP, another group of DCM mice were pretreated with AM630, a CB2R antagonist. AM630 was observed to abrogate the beneficial effects of BCP in DCM mice. Taken together, BCP demonstrated the potential to protect the myocardium and pancreas of DCM mice mediating CB2R-dependent mechanisms. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT BCP, a CB2R agonist, shows protection against DCM. BCP attenuates oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis in DCM via activating CB2Rs. BCP mediating CB2R activation favorably modulates AGE/RAGE, PI3K/AKT/Nrf2β and TGF-β/Smad and (NLRP3) inflammasome in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Full Article
