Reproductive health providers serve millions of women in developing countries now at the center of the global HIV pandemic and are increasingly reaching out to young people and to men. As such, they are poised to play an important role in reducing the incidence of new HIV infections over the coming years. Policymakers, donors, researchers and activists should recognize the benefits of supporting the fuller integration of HIV prevention efforts with reproductive health services.

Impact of age-related changes in buccal epithelial cells on pediatric epigenetic biomarker research.
Nat Commun
January 2025
British Columbia Children's Hospital Research Institute, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Cheek swabs, heterogeneous samples consisting primarily of buccal epithelial cells, are widely used in pediatric DNA methylation studies and biomarker creation. However, the decrease in buccal proportion with age in adults remains unexamined in childhood. We analyzed cheek swabs from 4626 typically developing children 2-months to 20-years-old.

Background And Objective: Research into new noninvasive diagnostic tools for bladder cancer (BCa) with superior sensitivity and specificity to cystoscopy and cytology is promising. The current study evaluated a diagnostic panel of tumor progression-related mRNAs in urine samples of NMIBC patients and controls.
Methods: This study carefully selected 129 participants, including 67 NMIBC patients, 31 hematuria patients due to nonmalignant urological disorders, and 31 healthy individuals.
Exploiting the synergistic effect of β-cyclodextrin functionalized-multi-walled carbon nanotubes and Zn-MOF for the detection of endocrine-disrupting chemical methylparaben.
Anal Chim Acta

Biofuel and Renewable Energy Research Center, Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, Babol, Iran.
Background: The buildup of methylparaben (MP), a broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative with endocrine-disrupting properties, in environmental sources, especially aquatic systems, has become a significant concern due to its adverse health effects, including allergic reactions, promoting the risk of developing cancer, and inducing reproductive disorders. Hence, introducing inexpensive and easy-to-use monitoring devices for rapid, selective, and sensitive detection and quantification of MP is highly desirable. In this context, electrochemical platforms have proven to be attractive options due to their remarkable features, such as ease of fabrication and use, short response time, and acceptable sensitivity, accuracy, and selectivity.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Somalia Mogadishu Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan Training and Research Hospital, Mogadishu, Somalia.
Background: Caesarean section (CS) is an important indicator of access to and quality of maternal health services. The WHO recommends the Robson 10-group classification system as a global standard for assessing, monitoring and comparing CS rates at all levels. Identification of the Robson groups that contribute the most to the overall CS is important to determine possible modifiable factors in our attempts to reduce the CS rate.
