In this episode of the "World We Want" podcast, Márcia Balisciano interviews Dr. Ana Maria Porras, Assistant Prof of Biomedical Engineering, Crochet Artist, and Science Communicator. They discuss how biomedical engineering is helping develop better treatment strategies for tropical disorders, which have historically received very little attention.
Nearly 2.4% of global deaths in 2019 were attributed to cirrhosis, which has increased since 2017. Liver transplantation (LT) is accepted as a lifesaving therapy for patients with complications of cirrhosis or hepatocellular cancer, but there are several barriers toward equitable access. This article outlines ways to reduce the disparities
Interesting study on examining the potential molecular mechanism of YGJ using network pharmacology to investigate how Traditional Chinese Medicine disease treatment offers numerous benefits when treating chronic hepatitis.
This Article supports SDG 3 by demonstrating the effectiveness of assisted partner services in Kenya to test the partners of people who inject drugs for HIV and hepatitis C, and support linkage to and engagement in care among those who are positive for either infection.

In this current study, six metropolitan areas were selected to differentiate the built-up landscapes by utilizing the concept of local climate zones. Results revealed a 30.67% higher heat health risk in compact built-up landscapes than in the open built-up type, with urban green spaces playing an effective but differentiated role in mitigating risk.

This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health by emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive evaluation of hearing loss in children, which is crucial for preventing delays in speech, social development, and learning outcomes. By highlighting the genetic causes of hearing loss and the role of genetic testing, the chapter promotes effective interventions that can significantly improve health and developmental outcomes for affected individuals. Additionally, it supports Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by advocating for accessible diagnostic processes and personalized care strategies that ensure all children, regardless of their background, receive the necessary support to address hearing loss and its associated challenges.
This Article supports SDGs 3 and 13 by investigating health-care resource factors associated with heatwave-realted mortality in cities in South Korea.
This review underscores the need for anti-racist research and publication practices that actively engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and researchers. This approach is vital to enhance cancer outcomes within these communities.
