A Call for Rigorous Research Investment in women's Health.

Worldwide, women face a disproportionately heavy health burden than their male counterparts. Yet there is a chronic lack of research attention and investment in women's health, which may explain the absence of women-inclusive, let alone women-centred, understanding of the causes, consequences, and confounding factors that shape individuals' health and quality of life.

Global mental health solidarity: strategies and solutions.

Mental health is deteriorating far and fast globally post-COVID. Though there were already over one billion people living with mental disorders pre-pandemic, in the first year of COVID-19 alone, the prevalence of anxiety and depression soared by 25% worldwide.

Drunk in China? The Imperative for Effective Interventions Against Alcohol Abuse.

Background: Alcohol use and abuse remain prevalent in China, though mounting evidence shows that even drinking in moderation is detrimental to health. While many countries' intake is on the decline, China's alcohol consumption is rising fast and is on the path to overtaking countries like the United States, even on a per capita level.

Objectives: This paper aims to analyze the danger of lax enforcement of laws and regulations against alcohol use and abuse and underscores the imperative for effective health interventions to curb problematic alcohol consumption in China.

Where should "Humans" be in "One Health"? Lessons from COVID-19 for One Health.

The culling of animals that are infected, or suspected to be infected, with COVID-19 has fuelled outcry. What might have contributed to the ongoing debates and discussions about animal rights protection amid global health crises is the lack of a unified understanding and internationally agreed-upon definition of "One Health". The term One Health is often utilised to describe the imperative to protect the health of humans, animals, and plants, along with the overarching ecosystem in an increasingly connected and globalized world.

Nannies Go Rogue? A Call for Research into Nanny-Induced Elderly Abuse in China.

Older people often face varied and vicious abuse from care workers. Situations are often more pronounced for older people who live with additional cognitive or physical difficulties, such as dementia and disabilities, the prevalence of which has been on the rise in China and elsewhere.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer: The regulatory journey in Brazil.

Background: Recent therapeutic advances such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have impact on the care of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, however, they bring new setbacks for regulatory agencies.

Objective: To evaluate the regulatory journey of ICIs registered for NSCLC treatment in Brazil and to establish comparisons of Brazilian regulatory agency with the US regulatory agency.

Methods And Data Source: Information for each ICI prescribing as well as the date of regulatory approval of the therapeutic indications of interest were collected from the Anvisa and the FDA websites.

Does it fit in your pocket? economic burden of PD-1 inhibitors' toxicity in the supplementary health system: evidence from Brazil.

Background: A full understanding of the economic burden associated with treatment-related adverse events (AEs) can aid estimates of the incremental costs associated with incorporating new technologies and support cost-effective economic modeling in Brazil. In this context, the main objective of this work was to evaluate in a real-life database: (i) the direct medical cost of monitoring the occurrence of AEs (CMO); (ii) the direct medical cost of managing an identified AE (CMN); and (iii) the total direct medical cost of monitoring and managing AEs (TMC), in quarterly periods from 0 to 24 months of the monitoring of cancer patients who used a PD-1 inhibitor from the perspective of the supplementary health system in Brazil.

Methods: This study was conducted from the supplementary health system (SSS) perspective and followed the methodological guidelines related to cost-of-illness studies.

Technology-based interventions for health challenges older women face amid COVID-19: a systematic review protocol.

Background: Pandemics, such as COVID-19, are dangerous and socially disruptive. Though no one is immune to COVID-19, older persons often bear the brunt of its consequences.

A call to ban the sale of tobacco products.

Tobacco is both toxic and addictive. Mounting evidence shows that tobacco use has a detrimental impact on almost every aspect of human health, causing or worsening deadly public health crises from the cancer epidemic to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, while tobacco use is a threat to both personal and public health, it continues to surge across the world, especially in China and other low- and middle-income countries.
