Postwar nutritional status of lactating mothers: evidence from war-torn Tigray, Ethiopia.
J Health Popul Nutr
November 2024
School of Public Health, College of Health Sciences, Mekelle University, Mekelle, Ethiopia.
Background: Poor maternal nutrition is a significant public health problem, especially in conflict-affected areas. Lactating mothers are particularly vulnerable due to increased nutritional demands. The recent conflict in the Tigray region has resulted in serious crises and disruptions, worsening maternal undernutrition.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
Distinct comorbidity phenotypes among post-9/11 Veterans with epilepsy are linked to diverging outcomes and mortality risks.
Epilepsia
January 2025
Polytrauma Rehabilitation Center, South Texas Veterans Health Care System, San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Objective: To investigate phenotypes of comorbidity before and after an epilepsy diagnosis in a national cohort of post-9/11 Service Members and Veterans and explore phenotypic associations with mortality.
Methods: Among a longitudinal cohort of Service Members and Veterans receiving care in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) from 2002 to 2018, annual diagnoses for 26 conditions associated with epilepsy were collected over 5 years, ranging from 2 years prior to 2 years after the year of first epilepsy diagnosis. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify probabilistic comorbidity phenotypes with distinct health trajectories.
Information and resources VA health system leaders need to manage enrollment and retention for Post-9/11 veterans.

VA Salt Lake City Health Care System, Informatics, Decision-Enhancement and Analytic Sciences Center (IDEAS), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Objective: To understand Veterans Health Administration (VA) leaders' information and resource needs for managing post-9/11 Veterans' VA enrollment and retention.
Data Sources And Study Setting: Interviews conducted from March-May 2022 of VA Medical Center (VAMC) leaders (N = 27) across 15 sites, using stratified sampling based on VAMC characteristics: enrollment rates, number of recently separated Veterans in catchment area, and state Medicaid expansion status.
Study Design: Interview questions were developed using Petersen et al.
Cognitive function in Vietnam: the effects of war exposure and social engagement.
Aging Ment Health
February 2025
Family Medicine Department, Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi, Vietnam.
Objective: Vietnam is an LMIC in Asia that is experiencing rising cases of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Many Vietnamese adults at risk of ADRD have experienced early-life war exposures, which may have negative impacts on their cognitive function in later years.
Methods: Our study uses the Vietnam Health and Aging Study (VHAS) to investigate the impact of early-life war exposure on cognitive function in later life while also considering variations in social engagement.
