Background: Invasive systems are commonly used for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are considered the gold standard. The availability of invasive ICP monitoring is heterogeneous, and in low- and middle-income settings, these systems are not routinely employed due to high cost or limited accessibility. The aim of this consensus was to develop recommendations to guide monitoring and ICP-driven therapies in TBI using non-invasive ICP (nICP) systems.

- - The study examines out-of-pocket costs for breast cancer treatment in Nigeria, highlighting that most patients face significant financial burdens, with a majority experiencing catastrophic health expenditures (CHE) due to the high costs of care.
- - Data was gathered from 71 patients undergoing treatment, revealing that 78.9% to 100% experienced CHE, as their healthcare costs often exceeded 40% of their ability to pay or set income thresholds, and most patients lacked health insurance.
- - The findings underscore the urgent need for policy changes to improve access to affordable cancer care in Nigeria, given that over 70% of patients at a major facility are financially strained by their treatment.
Rheumatology patients historically were told they "can't" or "shouldn't" become pregnant. Improved rheumatic diagnostics and treatments have led to decreased morbidity and mortality and increased quality of life resulting in an opportunity to focus on fertility and its preservation. In the same vein as rheumatic disease care, assisted reproductive technology (ART), which includes freezing of egg and sperm as well as in vitro fertilization, has made considerable strides in the recent past.
