There is dire need of comprehensive data on population-level cancer screening is lacking in LMICs, to effectively manage the growing burden of cancer among women.
This special issue focuses on Women's cardiovascular health, and this study looks at midlife women who have metabolic syndrome.
This model helps in estimating gestational age in the late trimesters as most women in LMICs seek care only in third trimester and it is difficult estimate the GA by LMP recall.
The number of women involved with forensic mental health systems internationally is rising. Limited research has explored the characteristics of those assessed for criminal responsibility. This article investigates the demographic, psychiatric, and criminological characteristics of women recommended as eligible or ineligible for the defence of Not Criminally Responsible (NCR) on account of mental disorder following a criminal responsibility assessment in Central Canada.
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common malignancy in women of reproductive age globally and specially among women living with HIV in low-income and middle -income countries. This Position Paper shows specific challenges and uncertainties on the way to cervical cancer elimination for women living with HIV and highlights the scarcity of evidence for the effect of interventions in this population. The piece calls for the expansion of HPV immunization programmes for women
This article takes a first-hand perspective to document women's disability justice activism in Ukraine, feminist and disability solidarities across regional and national borders, and the important roles Ukrainian women play in creating and sustaining communities of care. By contributing to the scholarship on disability inclusive disaster response, the gendered nature of care, and intersectional approaches to disability advocacy, it argues that Women with disabilities (WWD) provides pathways for expanding agendas of civic groups to be more inclusive.

This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing as well as Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by emphasizing the importance of gender-specific medicine in pharmaceutical development and global healthcare, aiming to improve health outcomes for all genders. By addressing the challenges faced by the pharmaceutical industry in integrating knowledge on sex-specific biological differences into drug development programs, the chapter advocates for strategies to promote equity in healthcare access and outcomes. Additionally, it recognizes the importance of addressing gender disparities in healthcare and advocating for approaches that ensure equal access to gender-specific pharmaceuticals. Through these efforts, the content supports the goal of reducing inequalities in healthcare access and outcomes, ultimately contributing to the promotion of good health and well-being for all individuals, regardless of gender.
The article introduces a novel approach called PTM-SFFS that effectively combines pre-trained transformer models (PTMs) with traditional statistical classifiers and linguistic features for the task of gender screening on community question-answering (cQA) platforms.
Study built over two decades of research on intimate parther violence and HIV. Sub-Saharan Africa has among the highest prevalence of intimate parthner violence (IPV) and HIV worldwide. The results of this very pooled analysis show that pwomen who had experienced physical or sexual IPV in the past year were 3·22 times as likely to acquire a recent HIV infection and women living with HIV who experienced physical or sexual IPV in the past year were 9% less likely to be virally suppressed
Lactation invokes homeorhetic processes to ramp up and supply milk synthesis components to fulfil nutritional, immunological and microbiological requirements of developing offspring, overseen by complex neuroendocrine networks. The maternal gut meets these intense metabolic demands, supported by hyperphagia and rapid adjustments to process larger food quantities. This research seeks to help mothers and clinicians better understand the hormonal components of their diet, gastrointestinal and other biological drives toward essential nutrient flow to their infants via lacatation.
