Out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures for childbirth in Bangladesh have increased substantially, intensifying financial pressure on lower-income households. While wealthier groups historically bore higher delivery costs, recent trends indicate a narrowing gap in spending across socioeconomic strata. This study investigates the drivers of this convergence in delivery-related expenditures between 2014 an

BackgroundWomen’s empowerment may influence non-communicable disease (NCD) risk. However, evidence on these associations among women in Bangladesh remains limited. This study examined the associations between women’s empowerment and the prevalence of selected non-communicable conditions among ever-married reproductive-aged women in Bangladesh.MethodsData from the 2022 Bangladesh Demographic and He

Objective: Psychosocial stress increases the risk for subsequent episodes of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and drug use disorder (DUD), with most studies assessing stress exposure by questionnaire or interview methods. We developed an environmental risk score (ERS) using multiple classes of stressful life events (SLEs) obtained from national Swedish registries. Method: We assessed, in the entire adul

ObjectiveDopaminergic medications are commonly prescribed for Parkinson's disease (PD), restless legs syndrome, pituitary and psychotic disorders. Accumulating evidence indicates that dopaminergic treatment triggers impulsive-compulsive behaviors (ICBs), yet systematic synthesis of clinical evidence remains limited.MethodThis scoping review summarizes original research directly clinically relevant

BACKGROUND: Accreditation of cancer centres aims to deliver high-quality, person-centered care and underscores the integration with education, research, and innovation. Over the past decade, cancer centres in the Nordic countries have engaged in accreditation processes through the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes (OECI).OBJECTIVE: This study provides an overview of a rapidly evolving lan

Background and purpose — Ankle arthrodesis (AA) and total ankle replacement are the 2 main surgical treatment options for advanced ankle arthritis but information is scarce on satisfaction and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after surgery. We aimed to evaluate postoperative satisfaction, changes in PROMs from before to 2 years after AA, and factors associated with the outcome.Methods — T

Nucleotides and coenzymes play critical roles in energy metabolism and cellular signaling and as building blocks of nucleic acids. This work addresses the challenges in the measurement of the phosphorylated metabolites using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, which facilitates the separation and detection of polar metabolites. Here, we present optimized H

The US Office of the Director of National Intelligence recently released its annual threat assessment, in which Iran is mentioned no fewer than 60 times as part of a “diverse array of threats” facing the US. Iran is moving toward its goal of full domination of Iraq and the expulsion of the last remaining US forces from that country, a result that would represent a great success for the Islamic Rep

Background: The prescription of liothyronine (LT3) to treat hypothyroidism is increasing worldwide; however, the long-term safety of LT3 use has yet to be determined. Previous studies have suggested a possible association between LT3 use and breast cancer. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of LT3 use on cancer incidence and mortality. Methods: Our sample included the full adult popu

Aims and objectives: To describe ways in which children's best interests were observed to be expressed in paediatric settings during their hospital visit.Background: The best interests of the child are embodied in national and international legal systems, although the definition remains problematic. The child's limited autonomy mandates duty bearers to have both a child perspective and the child's

AIMS: Inflammation plays an important role in cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. The NOD-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome contributes to the development of atherosclerosis in animal models. Components of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway such as interleukin-1β can therapeutically be targeted. Associations of genetically determined inflammasome-mediated systemic inflammation with CV

Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore teachers’ experience and understanding of classroom communication after participating in a speech-language pathologist (SLP) led in-service training on classroom communication. Method: This qualitative study used a focus group approach to explore how teachers describe their classroom communication. Twenty primary-school teachers participated. Thematic a

Abstract: Breast density is an independent risk factor for the development of breast cancer and also decreases the sensitivity of mammography for screening. Consequently, women with extremely dense breasts face an increased risk of late diagnosis of breast cancer. These women are, therefore, underserved with current mammographic screening programs. The results of recent studies reporting on contra

Objective: The indication of surgery in primary hyperparathyroidism has been controversial, as many patients experience mild disease. The primary aim was to evaluate fracture incidence in a contemporary population-based cohort of patients having surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism. The secondary aim was to investigate whether preoperative serum calcium, adenoma weight or multiglandular disease

The attachment of the 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) moieties to the surface of planar silicon(111) (photo)electrodes was investigated usingab initiosimulations performed on a new cluster model for methyl-terminated silicon. Density functional theory (B3LYP) with implicit solvation techniques indicated that adventitious chlorine atoms, when present in the organic linker backbone, led to instability at very

Background: Research has indicated that interactive, computerized case simulations using immersive virtual reality (VR) technology may be beneficial in the augmentation of conventional methods of assessment and treatment in forensic psychiatry, primarily through providing an engaging and safe environment in which the user can practice and learn skills and behaviors. However, there does not appear

Background: Previous population-based studies on second primary cancers (SPCs) in urothelial cancers have focused on known risk factors in bladder cancer patients without data on other urothelial sites of the renal pelvis or ureter. Aims: To estimate sex-specific risks for any SPCs after urothelial cancers, and in reverse order, for urothelial cancers as SPCs after any cancer. Such two-way analysi

Wildfires are expected to increase with warmer climate, which can contribute to the mobility and the resuspension of long-lived and potentially hazardous radionuclides. The release of 137Cs during combustion of dried litter, forest floor organic soil, and peat was investigated in a small-scale experimental set-up. Combustion conditions were varied to simulate different wildfire scenarios, and the
