This scoping review identified various adaptation strategies to protect maternal and child health from climate change effects, highlighting the need for more tailored, context-specific interventions involving pregnant women and local healthcare services.
This study explores nanostructured MOF-composite membranes as a promising technology for enhanced CO2 capture, highlighting improved gas separation performance, stability, and scalability while addressing challenges like regeneration and sustainability through advanced synthesis and modeling approaches.
Objectives: Traditional cardiovascular risk (CVR) stratification does not consider CVR enhancers (CVRE). Women present under-recognized CVRE factors that may lead to arterial stiffness (AS). AS is associated with long-term cardiovascular disease. AS can be determined by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV). In women with low-CVR and a CVRE, our objective was to determine cf-PWV values and AS, and to compare with a control group. Material and Methods: Multicentric cross-sectional study, from 2022 to 2024 in Argentina.
Background: Despite extensive efforts to standardize definitions of obesity, clinical practices of diagnosing obesity vary widely. This study examined (1) discrepancies between biometric body mass index (BMI) measures of obesity and documented diagnoses of obesity in patient electronic health records (EHRs) and (2) how these discrepancies vary by patient gender and race and ethnicity from an intersectional lens. Methods: Observational study of 383,380 participants in the National Institutes of Health All of Us Research Program dataset.
Background: Population-based penetrance studies of breast cancer gene 1/2 (BRCA1/2) pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants in the Eastern Chinese population are currently lacking; thus, we aimed to investigate the penetrance of breast cancer and other malignant tumors among BRCA1/2 P/LP variant carriers using a population-based breast cancer cohort from communities in Eastern China.
"Studies show that solutions developed by men are often best suited for men; while those developed by female inventors are more inclusively designed…..we will draw from interviews with women surgeon innovators, map their journeys as pioneers in surgical innovation, navigate through the obstacles they encountered, and the recount invaluable lessons they learned along the way."
The journey to parenthood is often delayed or prolonged for physicians, which disproportionately negatively impact women physicians. A better understanding of the resources and realities to achieve parenthood allows for more timely family planning while pursuing career advancements in radiology, particularly for medical students and our radiology trainees and early-career colleagues.
Editorial highlighting the 2 papers above, discussing challenges in the field of women's health, and recommendations to address these.
The AI-ECG model treats sex as a continuum, rather than a dichotomy (the current paradigm). This (and a derived biomarker) allows them to show that in those at low cardiovascular (CV) risk, female individuals (but not male individuals) with a higher biomarker score are at increased risk of CV death. The method can help mitigate exisiting inequities in CV healthcare.
The article explores the availability and accessibility of Menstrual Friendly Public Toilets (MFPTs) in urban spaces across six diverse cities globally.
