Article Synopsis
- The article aims to assess existing research on Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) in nursing, analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, and potential for future exploration in healthcare.
- A systematic review was conducted, including 19 studies from various medical databases, highlighting SARs' potential benefits for patients' mental health.
- Despite promising findings on SARs, the literature presents limitations and calls for more extensive research to verify their effectiveness and application in diverse healthcare settings.*
Background: Landscape fire-sourced (LFS) air pollution is an increasing public health concern in the context of climate change. However, little is known about the attributable global, regional, and national mortality burden related to LFS air pollution.
Methods: We calculated country-specific population-weighted average daily and annual LFS fine particulate matter (PM) and surface ozone (O) during 2000-19 from a validated dataset.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how meteorological factors like temperature and humidity influence COVID-19 transmission across 439 cities from February 2020 to August 2022.
- Researchers found that lower temperatures (5 °C) significantly increase the risk of COVID-19 incidents compared to moderate temperatures (17 °C), with absolute humidity showing an inverse relationship.
- The analysis revealed no significant interaction between vaccination rates or variants and the effects of weather on COVID-19 transmission, reinforcing the importance of environmental factors in understanding the pandemic.
Background: Approximately 5.7 million people in the UK are providing informal care. Carers across all ethnic groups can experience negative impacts on their physical and mental health but some minority ethnic groups face greater challenges.

This study assessed the VOC burden, its management and its impact on patients' quality of life (QoL). A cross-sectional observational study was conducted between November 2021 and June 2022, including 1000 SCD patients from high-prevalence states in India.
