Conceptualising commercial entities in public health : beyond unhealthy commodities and transnational corporations

Jennifer Lacy-Nichols et al.

Summary: Most public health research on the commercial determinants of health to date has focused on a narrow segment of commercial actors, primarily the transnational corporations producing tobacco, alcohol, and ultra-processed foods. However, there is a lack of clear frameworks for differentiating among commercial entities, hindering the governance of commercial interests in public health. This paper aims to develop a framework that enables meaningful distinctions among diverse commercial entities, allowing for a fuller consideration of their impact on health outcomes.

Evaluating the Quality of Asynchronous Versus Synchronous Virtual Care in Patients With Erectile Dysfunction: Retrospective Cohort Study

Lauren Broffman et al.

Summary: This study compares patient outcomes in terms of medication-related adverse events between asynchronous care and synchronous virtual care. The results suggest that for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, asynchronous care can offer the same level of safety in prescribing as synchronous care. Further research is needed to evaluate the safety of asynchronous care in different conditions.
