Familial Resemblance of Bone Health in Maternal Lineage Pairs and Triads: A Scoping Review.

Introduction: Female bone health is influenced by familial resemblance, health parameters and maturational periods (puberty and menopause); this combination has been researched using familial multi-generational cross-sectional studies.

Aim: This scoping review aimed to compile bone health research which uses sexually mature (grandmother-) mother-daughter pairs (and triads) and to determine the trends in its methodologies and familial comparisons.

Methods: The Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews was used.

Review of EmPATH Units for Behavioral Health Casualties in Prolonged Field Care Environments.

Introduction: Psychiatric conditions are one of the leading non-battle injury diseases resulting in medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) from combat environments. The challenge of limited MEDEVAC capability necessitating prolonged field care in future large-scale combat operations must be addressed. Therefore, a robust program is needed to address frontline care of behavioral health (BH), maximizing service members returning to duty and minimizing MEDEVAC.

The experiences and perceptions of rural and remote nurses who provide care to pregnant women in the absence of midwives.

Introduction: Maternity unit closures in rural and remote settings of Australia have left a substantial gap in services for pregnant women. In the absence of midwives, and when women are unable to attend a maternity facility, registered nurses (RNs) are required to fill the void. While maternity education can attempt to prepare RNs for such encounters, there is little documented to suggest it meets all their physical and psychological needs.

Uniformly elevated future heat stress in China driven by spatially heterogeneous water vapor changes.

The wet bulb temperature (T) has gained considerable attention as a crucial indicator of heat-related health risks. Here we report south-to-north spatially heterogeneous trends of T in China over 1979-2018. We find that actual water vapor pressure (E) changes play a dominant role in determining the different trend of T in southern and northern China, which is attributed to the faster warming of high-latitude regions of East Asia as a response to climate change.
