The Patient Safety report from the House of Commons Health Committee (July 2009) identified that as many as 10% of patients admitted to hospital suffer some form of unnecessary harm every year, some seriously, even fatally, but that much of this is avoidable. The report criticised the NHS for the lack of open reporting and learning from incidents, the lack of non-technical skills amongst front line staff and inadequate staffing levels which can compromise safe patient care.

Background: Empowerment is vital for individuals' control over their lives but is often constrained for women in India due to deep-rooted patriarchal norms. This affects health, and resource distribution, and increases domestic violence. Domestic violence including physical, sexual, emotional, economic, and psychological abuse is a significant human rights and public health issue.

Background/aim: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard strategy after induction therapy for newly diagnosed transplant-eligible multiple myeloma. High-dose melphalan (HDM) conditioning has been the recommended treatment regimen for a long time. No other conditioning regimen has been proven safer and more effective.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is foremost the most aggressive primary brain tumor, presenting extensive therapeutic challenges due to its high invasiveness, genetic complexity, and resistance to established treatments. Despite substantial advances in surgical and chemotherapeutic interventions, the median survival rate for patients is only 14.6 months, and the prognosis remains poor.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a significant global health challenge, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality. Despite recent advancements in CVD management, pharmaceutical treatments often suffer from poor pharmacokinetics and high toxicity. With the rapid progress of modern molecular biology and immunology, however, single-chain fragment variable (scFv) molecule engineering has emerged as a promising theranostic tool to offer specificity and versatility in targeting CVD-related antigens.

Recent studies have suggested an evolving understanding of the association between vaping, specifically electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use, and the progression of atherosclerosis, a significant contributor to cardiovascular disease. Despite the prevailing perception of vaping as a safer alternative to traditional tobacco smoking, accumulating evidence suggests that the aerosols emitted by e-cigarettes contain harmful constituents that may promote endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation, and dyslipidemia-key mechanisms implicated in atherosclerosis pathogenesis. While past research, including experimental studies and clinical investigations, has shed light on the potential cardiovascular risks associated with vaping, gaps in knowledge persist.
