RESUMO

Food systems comprise interconnected webs of processes that together transform inputs (land, labour, water, nutrients and genetics, to mention just a few) into outputs such as nutrition and revenue for human societies. Perfect systems do not exist; rather, global food systems operate in the presence of hazards, biotic and abiotic alike, and under the constraint of limited resources to mitigate these hazards. There are, therefore, inefficiencies in these systems, which lead to losses in terms of monetary, nutritional, health and environmental values and create additional negative externalities in the health, social and environmental spaces. Health hazards in the food system do not respect arbitrary distinctions between the crop and livestock sectors, which are highly interconnected. These linkages exist where one sector provides inputs to another or through substitution effects where supply in one sector influences demand in another. The One Health approach advocates investigating the intersectoral hazards in a highly interdisciplinary manner. This article provides a conceptual framework for integrating the methodologies developed by the Global Burden of Crop Loss and Global Burden of Animal Diseases initiatives to generate burden estimates for hazards in food systems that better account for interconnectivity and foster an improved understanding of food systems that is aligned with the interdisciplinary nature of the One Health approach. A case study related to maize and poultry sector linkages in the wider context of public and environmental health is presented.


Les systèmes alimentaires sont des réseaux de processus interconnectés qui concourent à transformer des intrants (terre, main-d'oeuvre, eau, nutriments et génétique, pour n'en mentionner que quelques-uns) en extrants tels que des aliments et des revenus pour les sociétés humaines. Il n'existe pas de système parfait ; les systèmes alimentaires mondiaux sont exposés en permanence à des dangers de nature tant biotique qu'abiotique et contraints par les ressources limitées consacrées à l'atténuation de ces dangers. Les problèmes d'efficacité sont donc inéluctables ; ils entraînent des pertes de valeur tant monétaire que nutritionnelle, sanitaire et environnementale, et génèrent de nouvelles externalités négatives dans le domaine de la santé ainsi que dans l'espace social et dans l'environnement. Les dangers sanitaires présents dans le système alimentaire ignorent les distinctions arbitraires entre les secteurs agricole et d'élevage, lesquels sont fortement interconnectés. Ces liens se manifestent lorsqu'un secteur fournit des intrants à l'autre et, par l'effet de substitutions, lorsque l'offre dans un secteur influence la demande dans l'autre. L'approche " Une seule santé " préconise d'adopter une méthode fondée sur l'interdisciplinarité pour enquêter sur les dangers intersectoriels. Les auteurs décrivent le cadre conceptuel de l'intégration des méthodes des initiatives " Fardeau mondial des pertes agricoles " et " Impact mondial des maladies animales " dans le but de produire des estimations de la charge induite par les dangers des systèmes alimentaires qui prennent davantage en compte leur inter-connectivité et donnent lieu à une meilleure compréhension des systèmes alimentaires, en cohérence avec le caractère interdisciplinaire de l'approche " Une seule santé ". Est également présentée une étude de cas portant sur les liens entre la culture du maïs et l'élevage de volailles dans le contexte plus large de la santé publique et environnementale.


Los sistemas alimentarios comprenden redes interconectadas de procesos que, conjuntamente, transforman insumos (tierra, mano de obra, agua, nutrientes y genética, por mencionar solo algunos) en productos como alimentos e ingresos para las sociedades humanas. No existen sistemas perfectos; más bien, los sistemas alimentarios mundiales funcionan en un entorno de peligros, tanto bióticos como abióticos, y con las restricciones impuestas por los limitados recursos disponibles para mitigarlos. En estos sistemas se observan, por tanto, ineficiencias, que provocan pérdidas en términos monetarios, nutricionales, sanitarios y ambientales y que crean externalidades negativas adicionales en los ámbitos sanitario, social y ambiental. Los peligros para la salud en los sistemas alimentarios no atienden a distinciones arbitrarias entre los sectores agrícola y ganadero, que están muy interconectados. Estos vínculos surgen cuando un sector proporciona insumos a otro o a través de efectos de sustitución en los que la oferta de un sector influye en la demanda de otro. El enfoque de "Una sola salud" aboga por investigar los peligros intersectoriales de manera eminentemente interdisciplinaria. En este artículo se ofrece un marco teórico para la integración de las metodologías desarrolladas por las iniciativas dedicadas al impacto global de las pérdidas de cosechas y al impacto global de las enfermedades animales a fin de obtener estimaciones de los peligros en los sistemas alimentarios que tengan más en cuenta la interconexión y fomenten una mejor comprensión de los sistemas alimentarios acorde con el carácter interdisciplinario del enfoque de "Una sola salud". En este sentido, se presenta un estudio de caso relacionado con los vínculos entre los sectores del maíz y las aves de corral en el contexto más amplio de la salud pública y ambiental.

RESUMO

Oxidative stress is a major contributor to noise-induced hearing loss, the most common cause of hearing loss among military personnel and young adults. HK-2 is a potent, orally-active, multifunctional, redox-modulating drug that has been shown to protect against a wide range of neurological disorders with no observed side effects. HK-2 protected cochlear HEI-OC1 cells against various forms of experimentally-induced oxidative stressors similar to those observed during and after intense noise exposure. The mechanisms by which HK-2 protects cells is twofold, first by its ability to reduce oxidative stress generated by free radicals, and second, by its ability to complex biologically active transition metals such as Fe+2, thus reducing their availability to participate in the Fenton reaction where highly toxic hydroxyl radicals are generated. For the rat in vivo studies, HK-2 provided significant protection against noise-induced hearing loss and hair cell loss. Noise-induced hearing loss was induced by an 8-16 kHz octave band noises presented for 8 h/d for 21 days at an intensity of 95 dB SPL. In the Prevention study, HK-2 was administered orally beginning 5 days before the start of the noise and ending 10 days after the noise. Treatment with HK-2 dose-dependently reduced the amount of noise-induced hearing impairment, reflected in the cochlear compound action potential, and noise-induced hair cell loss. In a subsequent Rescue experiment in which HK-2 was administered for 10 days starting after the noise was turned off, HK-2 also significantly reduced the amount of hearing impairment, but the effect size was substantially less than in the Prevention studies. HK-2 alone did not adversely affect HEI-OC1 cell viability, nor did it cause any adverse changes in rat body weight, behavior, cochlear function or hair cell integrity. Thus, HK-2 is a novel, safe, orally-deliverable and highly effective otoprotective compound with considerable potential for preventing hearing loss from noise and other hearing disorders linked to excessive oxidative stress.
