Turn Employee Feedback into
Action Enhancing how a company supports and engages its employees can attract talent, improve retention, spur innovation, and increase customer satisfaction. But managing the employee experience for maximum benefit requires leaders to know what employees are seeing, feeling, and wanting — and then respond judiciously. Driven by a tight labor market, corporate leaders have recently invested enormous amounts of energy and resources in collecting employee feedback through pulse surveys, town halls, listening tours, focus groups, data scraping from message boards, and other methods. The problem for many leaders is that when they ask what employees think, they don’t know what to do with what they hear — they often struggle to translate all this input into meaningful insights and concrete actions. A gap between accumulating the information and taking coherent action to respond can diminish the value of employee feedback over time — and if it persists, employees may stop responding.

NCDs at a Glance 2025. NCDs surveillance and monitoring:
Noncommunicable disease mortality and risk factor
prevalence in the Americas
Effective surveillance and monitoring of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and their risk factors are essential for informing evidence-based public health policies, addressing health inequities, and ensuring progress toward global and regional targets. By tracking trends in NCDs, their modifiable risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, harmful use of alcohol, and air pollution, along with biological risk factors such as overweight and obesity, high blood pressure (hypertension), and elevated blood glucose (diabetes), policymakers can identify emerging threats, target vulnerable populations, allocating resources efficiently. Reliable data also enable countries to evaluate interventions, adjust policies, and strengthen health systems to reduce the burden of NCDs. This brochure presents data on NCD and suicide mortality, along with trends by sex, in the Region of the Americas and 35 Member States of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) from 2000 to 2021. It also highlights progress toward the 2025 global NCD targets. While the number of NCD-related deaths in the region increased to six million in 2021, the age-standardized NCD mortality rate declined by 16.2%, reflecting the impact of population growth and aging. However, premature NCD mortality — the key indicator for the Global Action Plan for NCD Prevention and Control — declined by only 0.71% annually between 2010 and 2021, falling short of the 1.92% annual reduction required to meet the 2025 target. Among modifiable risk factors, tobacco use showed the most significant decline from 2000 to 2021, while insufficient physical activity has been on the rise. Metabolic risks, including high fasting blood glucose, overweight, and obesity, exhibited concerning upward trends during this period. Hypertension control remains suboptimal, with only 36.4% of individuals achieving adequate blood pressure levels (≤140/90 mmHg). While ambient air pollution slightly decreased between 2000 and 2019, current levels remain above WHO guideline thresholds. To achieve global and regional NCD targets and improve population health in the Americas, countries must prioritize cost-effective interventions to reduce NCD mortality and address these persistent challenges.

Utah becomes the first state to ban fluoride in public
drinking water
Utah has become the first state to ban fluoride in public drinking water, over opposition from dentists and national health organizations who warn the move will lead to medical problems and disproportionately affect low-income communities.
Republican Gov. Spencer Cox signed legislation late Thursday that bars cities and communities from deciding whether to add the mineral to their water systems.
Fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces cavities by replacing minerals lost during normal wear and tear, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

INSTRUCTION: Read the following text to answer the question.
How can neuroscience lead to
treatments for nicotine addiction?
Around a billion people still smoke, so we clearly have more
to learn about effective treatments for nicotine addiction.
Medications that can help include bupropion, a classical
antidepressant, which mostly helps people who are
depressed to stop smoking; and varenicline, which imitates
nicotine in some ways but prevents nicotinic receptors from
being fully activated.
Some nicotine cessation products, such as gums and
patches and inhalers, use nicotine itself in the hope that
it can be delivered in small enough quantities and over a
long enough period of time that nicotine receptors will only
be partially chaperoned, helping to reduce upregulation
while the individual works on quitting smoking.
We still need more and better science to figure out the
pharmacokinetics of nicotine: How fast does it enter the
body? How long does it stay in the body? To that end,
along with a team of collaborators — including Caltech
professors Wei Gao (professor of medical engineering),
Dennis Dougherty (George Grant Hoag Professor of
Chemistry), and Stephen Mayo (Bren Professor of Biology
and Chemistry), and Professor Neal Benowitz of UC San
Francisco — we have been working to develop a wearable
device that resembles the continuous glucose monitor used
by Type 1 diabetes patients.
We will use this monitor to measure nicotine while a person
smokes or vapes or uses a nicotine pouch so that we can
fully understand how an individual metabolizes nicotine
and relate this knowledge to a century’s worth of work on
nicotinic receptors and nicotine addiction.

INSTRUCTION: Read the following text to answer the question.
What happens in the brain when people smoke?
When nicotine enters the lungs, it’s in the brain 20 seconds
later. In this journey, nicotine has traveled through the cells
in the lungs to the blood — and then from the blood to
the brain, passing through the blood‑brain barrier. In all,
nicotine passes through six membranes when it’s smoked
or vaped.
Once nicotine is in the brain, it activates the most
sensitive nicotinic receptors on membranes of nerve cells,
or neurons, but it also travels through the membrane to
enter the neuron. Finally, it passes into the organelles of
the neuron, where proteins, including the nicotinic receptor,
are being made. When a person smokes, nicotine actually
helps the cell to assemble more nicotinic receptors,
which travel out of the endoplasmic reticulum (part of the
cellular transportation system) and onto the surface of the
cell. It’s as though nicotine is acting as a pharmacological
“chaperone” to bring those receptors to the surface of
the cell.
We have labeled this process “inside out” pharmacology.
In trying to unravel the cell biology of nicotine addiction,
my lab and others study how this so‑called chaperoning
or upregulating of nicotinic receptors is necessary for the
early stages of nicotine dependence, ultimately underlying
the brain’s addiction to nicotine. When a person stops
taking nicotine, the natural acetylcholine cannot sufficiently
activate the upregulated receptors. They produce craving
and other symptoms of withdrawal.

Read the following text.
Henry Lester, professor of biology at Caltech, discusses the effects of nicotine addiction on the brain.
Tobacco originated in the Americas, where humans have known some of its effects for at least 10,000 years. Beginning some 500 years ago, ocean crossings spread tobacco use to all other continents. We are essentially the only species that has learned how to use small amounts of plant toxins — which provide the selective advantage of sickening or poisoning animals who might eat them — for our own purposes. For tobacco, that toxin is nicotine. In addition to their historical medicinal and ritual uses, these substances, over time, have come to serve as guides, models, and touchstones for learning about the brain and opening many fields of neuroscience.
We have learned from tobacco and nicotine that it is possible to isolate single chemicals from plants that cause toxic effects on herbivores and valued effects on people. We’ve learned that it’s possible to define chemical processes in the human brain that are activated, inhibited, or otherwise manipulated by those substances.

INSTRUCTION: Read the following text to answer the questions.
What is fatal familial insomnia?
In the mid‑1980s, a family with a mysterious problem lived
in a small town in Italy. For many years, members of this
family had trouble sleeping, but no one knew why. One day,
a family member named Silvano decided to find out what
was causing this strange problem. Silvano traveled to the
city of Bologna to meet with the best sleep doctors. He told
them all about his family’s mystery.
The doctors were intrigued by Silvano’s story and
immediately began to study his case. After much research,
the doctors discovered something never seen before:
a tiny change in a special gene passed down from
generation to generation in Silvano’s family, which stopped
them from sleeping. They called this disease fatal familial
insomnia (FFI).
Fatal familial insomnia is an extremely rare disease.
Like many other rare diseases, FFI is passed on through
the DNA from parents to their children. The symptoms
of FFI start slowly and get worse over time. People with
FFI start to have difficulty falling and / or staying asleep,
and then, as it gets worse, they may suddenly fall
asleep without warning. People with FFI also tend to
develop other problems like a fast heartbeat; high blood
pressure; hormonal, mood and behavior swings; anxiety;
excessive sweating; and trouble thinking clearly and
moving their bodies. The symptoms usually start between
the ages of 51 and 60, although rarely they can start as
early as 18 – 20 years old. FFI affects both men and
women equally. To date, more than 70 families around the
world have been found to have FFI.
[...]
Although there is still no cure for FFI, research is
happening all over the world. Researchers are working to
find new pieces to help them solve the complex puzzle of
FFI and to develop treatments that can improve the lives
of those affected. Ongoing research aims to understand
the underlying mechanisms of FFI, especially how genetic
mutations change healthy prion proteins into abnormal
ones and how the buildup of abnormal prions in the brain
causes FFI symptoms. This understanding is essential for
developing effective therapies.
Additionally, researchers are searching for biomarkers of
FFI. Biomarkers are things that can be measured through
blood tests or brain scans, for example, that indicate
the presence of a disease or the risk of developing it.
Biomarkers could help doctors to diagnose FFI earlier and
to track how it changes over time.
In terms of developing therapies for FFI, gene therapy is
a promising approach that aims to fix or replace defective
genes. Gene therapy could eventually improve patients’
quality of life. Researchers are also studying drugs that
might stop or slow down the buildup of PrPSc in the brain.
New drugs are first tested on animals to see if they work
and are safe, and drugs that pass these initial tests are
then tested on people. With effective new medicines,
it might be possible to slow down or even stop FFI.

Abstract
Rare diseases are diseases that affect fewer than 1 in 2,000 people. Due to their rarity, it can be extremely challenging for doctors to diagnose these diseases in their patients — it often takes 6 – 8 years for some patients to get a diagnosis. Even though they are uncommon, rare diseases still have a significant impact on families and communities and need greater attention. Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a rare disease that affects the brain and gradually reduces a person’s ability to sleep. FFI gets worse over time and causes severe complications. There is currently no cure for FFI, so more research is crucial — not only for understanding FFI but also for unlocking potential treatments for other rare diseases. Rare disease research brings hope for a better future to those living with FFI and other rare conditions.

UNICEF reports that, for the first time, global
childhood obesity has surpassed underweight rates, with
one in ten school-aged children now obese, about 188
million worldwide. Meanwhile, one in five children under
19 years old globally, or 391 million, is overweight.
Kids are considered overweight if they carry
excess weight for their age, sex and height, while obesity
is a more severe form that greatly increases the risk of
serious health problems later in life. Between year 2000
and 2022, obesity rates among those aged 5 to 19 more
than tripled from 3% to 9.4%, while underweight cases
fell.
The shift is driven by the rise of ultra-processed
foods, which are replacing fruits, vegetables and
proteins. Obesity hotspots are emerging worldwide,
especially in low and middle-income countries still
battling undernutrition, while wealthy nations like the
United States, United Arab Emirates and Chile also show
high rates. Pacific Island nations face the highest
prevalence, with up to 40% of youth obese.
The crisis is fueled by aggressive junk food
marketing, with 75% of children exposed weekly. Obesity
raises risks of diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
UNICEF is calling for urgent restrictions on unhealthy
food marketing and school bans, warning of severe
health impacts for the next generation.

The British Medical Journal published a study
which showed that 1 billion young people were at risk of
hearing loss.
Researchers shared their analysis of data from
2000 to 2021 on unsafe listening practices. If the volume
is too loud for too long, headphones, a concert, or even a
restaurant could cause irreversible damage. Young
people are complaining about persistent ringing in their
ears, although their hearing tests look normal. However,
several years later, their hearing reduces.
The loud sounds damage sensory cells in the
cochlea, the snail-looking part in the inner ear. Once
these cells die, you can’t get them back. 85 decibels
sound like a blender, 100 decibels sound like a subway
train and 120 decibels sound like a concert or a siren.
According to experts, 85 decibels during a 40-
hour work week is the maximum safe limit. Just 2.5 hours
of 92 decibels can damage your ears. However, only one
episode of intense noise exposure can lead to lifelong
hearing loss.
