Caradee Y Wright, Thandi Kapwata, Viwe Dikoko, Chantelle Howlett-Downing, Natasha Naidoo

Abstract Purpose of the review This review synthesised evidence on associations between air pollution and respiratory morbidity in Africa. Following PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched PubMed, ScienceDirect and Elicit for case-control studies published between 2015 and 2025. Recent findings Thirteen studies from ten African countries reported pollutant levels far exceeding WHO guidelines. Indoor PM₂.₅ in biomass-using homes ranged from 96 to 177 µg/m³, and ambient PM₂.₅ reached 259 µg/m³. Nitrogen oxides …

Embedding digital health education into pre-registration health degrees: a pilot evaluation of a train-the-trainer toolkit

Leanna Woods, Kerryn Butler-Henderson, Stephen Guinea, Melanie Haines, Samantha Robertson, Sophie Macklin, Melanie Kam, Clair Sullivan

Abstract Background A digitally-literate and future-ready healthcare workforce is essential to realise the benefits of digital health and address critical healthcare challenges. Embedding digital health content into health degree curricula is a strategic priority, yet integration is hindered by the absence of standardised, professionally endorsed curriculum and limited educator expertise. Following development of an educator toolkit, this pilot evaluation study aimed to explore: “How do educators and academic leade …

We then conducted a randomized controlled trial ( n = 50) to assess the impact of the CBT-based intervention on high-risk sexual behaviors and gut microbiota changes in this population. Results Prior to the implementation of the intervention, 44% of the participants engaged in high-risk behaviors despite having better cognitive levels. However, preliminary findings from post-interv …

Geographical Dimensions of Rural Livelihood Diversification in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India: A Critical Review of Spatial Patterns, Determinants and Policy Implications

Shivendra Pratap Singh, Rishabh Bajpai

Rural livelihood diversification has become the dominant adjustment mechanism through which agrarian households in the middle Ganga plain reconcile shrinking operational holdings with rising consumption requirements. Eastern Uttar Pradesh contains one of the largest concentrations of small and marginal cultivators anywhere in South Asia, yet the region occupies a marginal position in the scholarly literature that explains why, where and with what consequences rural households move beyond cultivation. This critical …

Co-constructing stories with patients with heart failure to envision future remote care possibilities: a qualitative interview and sketching study

Wessel W. Nieuwenhuys, Hannah C. van Iterson, Jeroen A. A. van de Pol, Mayke M. C. J. van Leunen, Ignace L. J. de Lathauwer, Mathias Funk, Rong-Hao Liang, Hareld M. C. Kemps

Introduction Although remote patient management (RPM) shows promise for improving chronic heart failure (HF) management, its effectiveness depends on technology acceptance, usability, and patient engagement. However, patients are often involved only after systems are implemented, limiting opportunities to align RPM with their needs. This study explored patients' expectations, wishes, and concerns regarding future RPM using participatory design methods to inform more patient-centred RPM. Methods Patients with HF usi …

Smartphone based clinical decision support system for early detection of neonatal jaundice using artificial intelligence with temporal convolutional network

Mahmoud Ragab, Iyad Katib, Mohammed K. Al-Hanawi, Sanaa A. Sharaf, Mohamed Alqurashi, Abdullah AL-Malaise AL-Ghamdi

Abstract Physiological jaundice is present in the initial week of life in neonates owing to the rise in level of bilirubin thereby resulting in yellowish coloring of sclera and skin. Severe jaundice and lethal bilirubin levels may result from brain damage as bilirubin is located in the central nervous system. Present diagnostic techniques consist of time-consuming and a painful invasive blood test and non-invasive tests using expensive transcutaneous bilirubin meters. Then regular monitoring is important, numerous …

Application of an Index Based on Aquatic Insect Biotic Integrity for River Ecosystem Health Assessment in Haihe River Basin, China

Fanqing Kong, Zhilin Li, Yue Shen, Yanchu Zhao, Yin Hou, Zihang Hu, Shaowei Bian

As critical biological components of freshwater ecosystems, aquatic insects are highly sensitive to cumulative anthropogenic disturbances and can effectively reflect long-term variations in river ecological quality, serving as ideal bioindicators for aquatic ecological monitoring and assessment. However, most existing benthic biotic integrity indices integrate diverse macroinvertebrate groups, which dilute the unique indicative value of aquatic insect communities, and few targeted evaluation systems have been indep …

Deceptive bias measurement in deep learning: Assessing shortcut reliance in TCGA cancer models

Farnaz Kheiri, Shahryar Rahnamayan, Masoud Makrehchi

Machine learning bias is a persistent challenge because it can create unfair outcomes, limit generalization, and reduce trust in real-world applications. A key source of this problem is shortcut learning, where models exploit signals linked to sensitive attributes, such as the data source or collection site, instead of relying on task-relevant features. To address this, we propose the Deceptive Signal metric, a novel quantitative measure designed to assess the extent of a model’s reliance on hidden shortcuts during …

ABSTRACT The global burden of oral diseases and shocking inequalities highlight the failure of current oral health systems and policies. One of the limitations with existing approaches is that they rely almost exclusively on professional perspectives with minimal input from communities, and in particular disadvantaged populations. As a consequence, interventions often fail to achieve sustained improvements and have limited impact in reducing inequalities. Within global health, there is growing recognition of the im …

Genomic consequences of admixture in an experimentally founded sand lizard population

Seraina E. Bracamonte, Mats Olsson, Erik Wapstra, Willow R. Lindsay, Mette Lillie

Abstract Conservation interventions are increasingly required for species threatened by population declines and isolation due to anthropogenic pressures. Small, isolated populations are particularly vulnerable to the loss of genetic diversity, increased inbreeding, and the accumulation of deleterious mutations. Translocations or supplementation of allopatric individuals for genetic rescue may be the only way to increase genetic diversity and increase population persistence via increased adaptive potential. Here, we …
