Race and kidney function.
This Review supports SDG 3 and 10 by highlighting how genomics research intersects with existing racial and ethnic inequalities and forms of exclusion; there is no universally accepted, consistently applied method for categorising genomic data, which the authors argue is problematic, both from a clinical and scientific perspective, but more fundamentally in terms of the ability of genomics research to achieve the core ethical values of equity and justice.
HIV-1 viral load assays are essential tools for clinical management of people living with HIV-1. The cobas HIV-1 assay is highly sensitive, accurate and suitable for use in clinical practice.
A review article discusses various drugs and plant extracts for Alzheimer's disease, and further discusses plant species that can be researched for treatment.
This study, relevant to Goals 3, 10, and 13, examined how often and in which countries health considerations were factored into a country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC’s) for climate commitments. They found that countries with the greatest vulnerability to climate change health effects – largely countries with the fewest resources – considered health effects the most. The authors recommend that considering health, even in higher resourced countries, can increase public backing for ambitious climate goals.
This article advances SDG goals 3, 5 and 10 by examining disparities in lung cancer treatment and survival rate by race, gender, sexual identitity, and disability status with the goal of understanding the current situation to improve future outcomes.
This book chapter advances SDG 3 and 10 by presenting that (1) some of these depression scales do not correlate, suggesting that they assess different aspects of depression; (2) reports of depression in dementia vary based on depression in dementia scale used; and (3) severe memory impairment may impact the ability to assess depression in the patients using self-reports.
This book chapter advances SDG #3 and #10 by reviewing studies that showed treatments with multiple sessions of rTMS can influence cognition in people with neurodegenerative diseases. The chapter also considers novel therapeutic approaches based on the clinical use of rTMS.
