Overcoming Obstacles in Drug Discovery and Development, Surmounting the Insurmountable—Case Studies for Critical Thinking 2023
Racial and ethnic disparities among clinical trial participants is a long-standing issue demanding attention in the research community as advances in precision medicine increase. This exclusion from clinical trial enrollment has tangible consequences, preventing traditionally underserved populations from benefitting from health innovation and cutting-edge technologies. Aggregation of populations into a generalized treatment population lends to the evident healthcare inequities we see today and support SDG3
This Article supports SDG 3 by evaluating shared-care models with hepatitis B virus testing in China, including an analysis of the cost-effectiveness and the impact on quality of life and mortality.
This Article supports SDG 3 by evaluating alanine transaminase antiviral treatments for hepatitis B virus infection in China. The authors suggest the optimal treatment coverage for both cost-effectiveness and mortality reduction based on their findings
Background: COVID-19 and the climate crisis have caused unprecedented disruptions across the world. Climate change has affected the mental health and wellbeing of children and adolescent. Young people with a mental illness and without social support are at an increased risk of climate change induced mental ill-health. COVID-19 resulted in a marked increase of psychological distress. Increase in depression, anxiety and insomnia have increased due to the upheavals that people were experiencing including loss of livelihood and breaking of social bonds.
this RCT attempts to incentivise fruits and vegetables purchase in India where the sector is largetly unorganised.The authors find that even though unorganised, the retailers were willing to participate in such a scheme which could have a widespread effect on population consumption pattern.

A critical reflection on fisheries conservation in the Mekong River is offered here. Adaptive co-management helped balance conservation and livelihood outcomes. No-take zones facilitated basic fish conservation measures led by local fishermen. Fishermen perceiving livelihood benefits of conservation supported no-take zones. Long-term mechanisms to support community-led conservation initiatives are needed.
This chapter advances Goals 11 and 3 by discussing how a clean and pollution-free environment is a fundamental right protected under the Constitution of India, therefore India requires adopting legal provisions regarding sustainability and prevention measures for the improvement of the environment. The chapter shows how blockchain technology, combined with artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) systems, and IoT for a green policing approach, can help to prevent green crime in order to preserve green justice, law, and order in India.
Increasing plant productivity resilience to drought plays an important role in ecosystem services, and while soil organic matter (SOM) promotes plant growth, its role in mitigating aboveground biomass (AGB) loss as a result of drought in alpine grasslands is unclear. This study by Zhao et al., 2023 examined 209 alpine grassland sites on the Tibetan Plateau and revealed that AGB decreases with increasing aridity (above 0.37), and a stronger positive relationship between AGB and SOM is observed in more arid conditions, suggesting the significance of soil carbon sequestration strategies for biomass production and climate change mitigation in arid areas.
The findings of this study suggest further review and consideration of a multipronged approach of integrated nutrition, menstrual hygiene management, and water, sanitation and hygiene interventions at the school level to improve adolescent nutrition and health.

Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine (Fourth Edition)
Sex and Gender-Specific Biology in the Postgenomic Era
2023, Pages 409-429
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.
