This Series paper supports SDG 3 by documenting the nature of user interactions with primary care in a large, 14-country sample; the authors find significant diversity in how citizens access usual care within and across countries.
Although patient-centered care does not always entail meeting all of the patients' expectations, the mere understanding of their preferences in decision-making can lead to complete patient satisfaction.
This article aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure. The research focuses on the green synthesis of nanoparticles using biological entities, such as microorganisms and plants, through nanobiotechnology processes. The use of these environmentally friendly methods has the potential to revolutionize biomedical applications, including cancer detection and treatment, as well as agricultural applications for crop improvement. Furthermore, green nanoparticles show promise in energy production and storage, offering cost-effective and sustainable solutions for future energy demands.

Atlas of Common Pain Syndromes, Fifth Edition, 2024, Pages 524-528

This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health by addressing the complex phenomenon of phantom limb pain, which can significantly affect the quality of life for individuals who have undergone amputations. By understanding the mechanisms behind this condition and the varied experiences of patients, healthcare providers can develop more effective pain management strategies and psychological support systems, ultimately improving patient outcomes. Additionally, it supports Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by highlighting the need for tailored medical interventions that recognize the unique challenges faced by amputees, ensuring that all patients, regardless of their background or circumstances, receive comprehensive care that addresses both physical and emotional aspects of their recovery.

The researchers examined the use of footwear that incorporates force-sensing resistor sensors to classify lower limb disorders affecting the knee, hip, and ankle joints. The outcomes of the study reveal promising findings for future gait analysis and injury diagnosis, and the potential of force-sensing resistors (FSRs) and machine learning techniques for improving the assessment of lower limb injuries, and thereby furthering SDG3.
In this episode of the "World We Want" podcast, Márcia Balisciano interviews Filip Neele, Lead Scientist at TNO in Utrecht, the Netherlands. They discuss carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology as a “key” in energy transition and its role in supporting global sustainability.
The cascading effects of biodiversity decline on human well-being present a pressing challenge for sustainable development. Conservation efforts often prioritize safeguarding specific species, habitats, or intact ecosystems but overlook biodiversity's fundamental role in providing Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) in human-modified landscapes.
