Cough-induced rib fractures are rare conditions and are seldom reported in the medical literature. This case involves a 54-year-old postmenopausal woman who experienced a persistent dry cough lasting 16 days, which progressed to acute, localized chest pain in the right hemithorax. Symptoms started after an initial chest infection.

Methods: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted at three maternity teaching hospitals in Iraq's Kurdistan region, Azadi Hospital in the north of Iraq, and Al-Azhar University Hospital in Egypt on 146 women with placenta previa. Participants were randomly assigned to two interventional groups in a 1:1 ratio to receive either TXA or Dextrose 5% water (D5W).
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the relationship between family size and socioeconomic/demographic factors among women in Erbil, Kurdistan Region of Iraq, focusing on those aged 45-74 who have completed their families.
- Results show that 78.5% of participants had large families (7+ members) and a lifetime fertility rate of 6.78 births per woman, with significant links to early marriage and unplanned pregnancies.
- The findings suggest the need for empowerment through education and job opportunities to help young women achieve a smaller, more desired family size.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess maternal health experiences among refugees and displaced women in Iraq during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on access to healthcare and mental health issues.
- A total of 1,321 women were surveyed, revealing significant barriers to seeking medical care, such as COVID-19 fears, transportation challenges, and childcare responsibilities.
- The findings highlighted that many women experienced low quality of life, with high rates of depression and anxiety, especially among currently pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women.
The emerging field of nanotechnology has paved the way for revolutionary advancements in drug delivery systems, with nanosystems emerging as a promising avenue for enhancing the therapeutic potential and the stability of various bioactive compounds. Among these, cannabidiol (CBD), the non-psychotropic compound of the plant, has gained attention for its therapeutic properties. Consequently, researchers have devoted significant efforts to unlock the full potential of CBD's clinical benefits, where various nanosystems and excipients have emerged to overcome challenges associated with its bioavailability, stability, and controlled release for its transdermal application.
