Article Synopsis
- Ski mountaineering sprint competitions consist of short races with three uphill segments, transitions, and a final descent, but there's limited knowledge about this Olympic sport.
- A study analyzed the performance of male and female participants in World Cup events, focusing on how uphill segments (U) and transitions (T) affected overall finishing times and rankings.
- Results showed that uphill performance significantly influenced outcomes, as U accounted for 80-90% of finishing time variation, suggesting that training should enhance short, intense uphill efforts for optimal performance in future competitions like the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Since 1977, the WHO Model Lists of Essential Medicines (EML) have been a benchmark to guide the procurement of medicines at the national level, especially in low-income and middle-income countries. Aiming to include the most effective, safe, and cost-effective medicines for priority conditions, WHO updates the EML for adults and the EML for children every 2 years. Over the past 45 years, updates to the EML mental health section have been infrequent, in most cases with additions of individual medicines.

Methods: We searched WHO repository and government sites for national essential medicines lists and we abstracted medicines for mental disorders. We calculated the proportion of WHO essential medicines included, the total number of differences (counting both additions and deletions) between national and WHO model list and the proportion of lists including one second-generation oral antipsychotic plus one new-generation antidepressant.
