Article Synopsis
- Opioid agonist therapy (OAT) programs in Eastern Europe and Central Asia face sustainability challenges due to reduced funding from international sources like the Global Fund, prompting a need to assess current status and risks.
- The study evaluated OAT sustainability in Belarus, Moldova, Tajikistan, and Ukraine through qualitative data collection, including interviews and focus groups, focusing on policy, finance, and service dimensions.
- Findings revealed varying levels of OAT sustainability, with Ukraine showing the most progress, while Tajikistan faced significant risks; improvements were noted in areas like service accessibility and financial resources, but human resources showed minimal or negative development.
Article Synopsis
- NEC is a serious condition mostly affecting premature babies, influenced by gut bacteria imbalances and other factors, with term infants at risk due to heart-related issues.
- A case involving a male neonate with CHD highlighted how surgery and persistent blood flow problems led to NEC episodes and notable changes in gut microbiome composition.
- The findings suggest that both the gut microbiome and ongoing mesenteric hypoperfusion were significant factors in the development of NEC in the studied infant.
Background: A combination of coarctation of aorta with various severity of distal arch hypoplasia frequently occurs in newborns. Traditional techniques in the neonatal period such as extended end-to-end anastomosis or inner curve patch are controversial. Arch geometry has a marked role in long-term outcomes.

In contrast to normal pulmonary vein covered with external multiple muscle layers (myocardial sleeve), such sleeve is absent in veins that have no connection with the left atrium irrespective of the type of the defect. In patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, the structure of left atrium was heterogeneous featuring either the presence or absence of inner angiomural lining in this atrium.

Choosing the mix of programs to maximize a health outcome is termed allocative efficiency. Here, we extend the methodology of allocative efficiency to answer the question of how resources should be distributed among different geographic regions.
