Background: Gender-based violence (GBV) is an internationally widespread human rights and public health issue, known to be exacerbated and underreported in humanitarian settings and among conflict-affected populations. A combination of factors including increased vulnerability, lack of protection and marginalization are believed to increase the risk for GBV in settings such as displacement and refugee camps. An increased understanding of GBV in these populations is needed to inform and improve future policy changes and interventions.

- Regular moderate-vigorous exercise is essential for improving health and longevity, but barriers exist that can be tackled using virtual reality (VR) to boost exercise intensity, with a focus on competition and visual feedback.
- In a study involving young adults, three VR biking conditions (visual feedback, self-competition, and competition with others) were tested to assess exercise intensity, visual attention, and user experience.
- Results indicated that participants exercised more intensely and felt more motivated in competitive settings, preferring competition over visual feedback, and achieved vigorous exercise levels primarily during self-competition.
Purpose: Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have shown similar diagnostic performance in detection of breast cancer. Limited CEM data are available for high-risk breast cancer screening. The purpose of the study was to prospectively investigate the efficacy of supplemental screening CEM in elevated risk patients.

The overarching purpose of this scoping review was to provide guidance to clinicians and scientists regarding current evidence for bicycling exercise for PwPD. A scoping review was conducted to examine the heterogeneous literature on stationary bicycling for PwPD to reduce motor symptoms and body function structure impairments, improve activities and motor performance, and reduce disease severity.
