This paper concludes that the SIVESNU (Sistema de Vigilancia Epidemiológica de Salud y Nutrición) surveillance platform is a critical tool for government and partners, addresses key data gaps, and provides high-quality data used to monitor and improve public health in Guatemala.
This chapter aligns with the SDG goal 3 of good health and wellbeing by showing the evolution of chronic viral hepatitis from fibrosis, to cirrhosis, and to hepatocellular carcinoma.
This chapter aligns with the SDG goal 3 of good health and wellbeing by showing the role of the IFITM1 protein in the hepatitis dynamics, obtaining the clearance state when overexpressed.

This research has some implications for the research community. First, an implication from our result is that there is an inverse relationship between change in mobility and COVID- 19 variables. Second, it can be observed that the implementation of stringent policy measures on different forms of mobility helped in reducing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, with the increased stringency index, there was an adverse impact on people's mental health around the globe.

This chapter provides a systematic review of the current literature investigating COVID-19's impact on mental well-being, as well as studies that explore machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to detect and treat mental illnesses when traditional therapies are unavailable due to lockdown and social distancing norms imposed.
This Review supports SDGs 3 and 6, focusing on the complex ways that multiple factors interact during droughts to influence HIV treatment adherence. The authors suggest that economic and livelihood challenges resulting from food and water insecurity during droughts have the biggest impact on adherence.
The largest US cancer health disparity exists in prostate cancer, with Black men having more than a two-fold increased risk of dying from prostate cancer compared to all other races. Studies on biology and access to healthcare similarly highlight the need for increased representation of men from underserved racial groups, particularly Black men, in translational and clinical research to fully comprehend and appreciate the tumour heterogeneity.
The data presented in this study indicate air pollution (AP) induces an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-like phenotype of BEAS-2B cells in 3D spheroid cultures. This opens new avenues for drug development for the treatment of lung diseases induced by AP. The 3D spheroid cell culture is a novel, innovative and physiologically relevant model for culturing a variety of cells. It is a versatile tool for both high-throughput studies and for identifying molecular mechanisms involved in bronchial epithelial cell (patho)physiology.
