This Article supports SDGs 3 and 6 by demonstrating that polio environmental surveillance by testing wastewater samples is a valuable tool for tracking the distribution of polio and non-polio enteroviruses, and could be instrumental for global poliovirus elimination efforts.
Young adult hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) survivors have impaired health-related quality of life (HRQOL) compared with older adult survivors. Adolescents and YAs are at a developmental stage marked by rapid changes in cognitive, social, and emotional growth and historically have experienced a gap in services relating to their psychosocial needs. Findings confirm the hypothesis that self-efficacy would be pivotal to higher levels of mental function and lower distress.
This Viewpoint supports SDG 3 by outlining the progress of the Sehat Sahulat program (SSP), a social protection program and health insurance scheme, in Pakistan and the opportunities for improvement in the future, with a focus on whether the benefit package can better set the foundation towards universal health coverage in Pakistan.
This chapter advances the UN SDG Goal 3: Good Health and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by examining the active engagement and empathetic governance needed in predictive data analytics to address complex socioeconomic issues and solve complex accessibility and distribution problems.
This Article supports SDG 3 by examining the prevalence of occult HBV infection (HbSAg negative, HBV DNA positive) through a review including 305 studies. The prevalence was noted to be substantial in some populations (high-risk groups) and high-endemicity countries, necessitating improved access to HBV DNA testing.

The impact of a military conflict on the mental health of affected communities is profound. Elsevier would like to offer a curated list of publicly available journal articles in order to support primary care providers, psychologists, social workers, teachers, carers, and any community members working with affected groups, in mental health support and treatment in connection to war, trauma and migration.
The lung is a crucial immune organ continuously exposed to the external environment. Genetic defects that impair immune function, called inborn errors of immunity (IEI), often have lung disease as the initial and/or primary manifestation. Common types of lung disease seen in IEI include infectious complications and a diverse group of diffuse interstitial lung diseases.
Treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) was found to be effective in reducing the occurrence of liver cancer and disease progression in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The treatment also achieved significant viral suppression and improvement in liver fibrosis. This offers hope for individuals with chronic hepatitis B who are at risk of developing liver cancer.
Several studies of adult-onset multiple sclerosis (AOMS) patients have demonstrated that spinal cord volume loss is associated with disease progression and clinical disability; however, complementary studies of young patients with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS) are lacking. In the context of SDG Goal 3, this retrospective study aimed to assess spinal cord volume in POMS patients compared with that in healthy controls.
