This study utilizes multivariate decomposition of Global Adult Tobacco Survey data to reveal that while increased exposure to anti-smoking media and smoke-free environments drove a rise in quit attempts in India, a weakening association between workplace restrictions and quit behavior contributed to a decline in Bangladesh, highlighting the need for context-specific cessation strategies.
This systematic review of 12 studies demonstrates that telerehabilitation in orthotic care is a feasible, acceptable, and clinically effective alternative to traditional face-to-face treatment, offering equivalent or superior functional outcomes and significant cost savings while highlighting the need for hybrid models to address limitations like physical palpation and custom fabrication.
A multicountry survey of 530 maternity care providers across seven Middle Eastern countries reveals significant gaps in knowledge and diagnostic practices regarding obstetric anal sphincter injuries, highlighting that while structured training and guidelines improve awareness of clinically unrecognised injuries, overreliance on digital rectal examination as a sufficient detection method remains a critical barrier to optimal care.
This retrospective study of 111 pediatric patients at a Tanzanian national referral center reveals that retinoblastoma is predominantly diagnosed at advanced stages due to late presentation, resulting in high rates of enucleation and 15.2% mortality, which underscores the urgent need for improved community awareness and early screening to enhance survival and eye preservation.
This paper employs a comparative analysis of medical tourism policies across six Asian nations to identify gaps in accountability and implementation evidence, ultimately recommending that China prioritize clarifying cross-jurisdictional responsibilities and distinguishing patient populations rather than relying solely on national promotion.
This study demonstrates that a parent-led Premalocom crawling training protocol, delivered at home with professional supervision for high-risk preterm infants, is feasible and effectively stimulates active locomotion, although parental adherence is lower than professional-led delivery and correlates with socioeconomic status.
This historical process evaluation of the 2016 Community Health Information System (CHIS) implementation in rural Ethiopia found that while the system achieved a "very good" overall performance score with strong resource availability and household registration, it faced significant challenges in data consistency and routine updating that require targeted improvements in supervision and training.
This qualitative study explores the lived experiences and needs of carer-employees through stakeholder interviews and a co-design workshop to inform the development of a scalable social prescribing intervention aimed at improving caregiver well-being and sustaining workforce participation in Canada.
This study demonstrates that electroacupuncture at Shenting (GV24) and Baihui (GV20) alleviates post-stroke cognitive impairment in MCAO/R rats by inhibiting the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, thereby suppressing ferroptosis.
