Background: Accurate mortality estimates help quantify and memorialise the impact of war. We used multiple data sources to estimate deaths due to traumatic injury in the Gaza Strip between Oct 7, 2023, and June 30, 2024.
Methods: We used a three-list capture-recapture analysis using data from Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) hospital lists, an MoH online survey, and social media obituaries.
All-atom molecular dynamics (AAMD) is a computational technique that predicts the movement of particles based on the intermolecular forces acting on the system. It enables the study of biological systems at atomic detail, complements observations from experiments, and can help the selection of experimental targets. Here, we describe the applications of MD simulations to study the interaction between peripheral membrane proteins and lipid bilayers.

Systematic assessment of alcohol industry penetration and government safeguards is also lacking. Here, we aimed to identify the nature and extent of industry penetration in a cross-section of jurisdictions.

Article Synopsis
- Post-term pregnancy, reaching or exceeding 42 weeks of gestation, is linked to negative birth outcomes, and while high-income countries often induce labor, low- and middle-income countries lag behind.
- The study aims to examine the prevalence of post-term births, associated risk factors, and their connections to small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates and infant mortality in middle-income settings like Brazil, Mexico, and Palestinian refugees.
- Analyzing over 45 million live births, the research found that post-term deliveries significantly increased the risk of SGA neonates and infant mortality, suggesting the need for induction strategies to address these issues.
