Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized clinically by motor dysfunction due to gradual loss of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal system. Currently, medications such as levodopa preparations, offer only temporary symptomatic relief without preventing neuronal loss or halting disease progression.

Support Care Cancer
December 2024
250 Bedded General Hospital, Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the symptomatic efficacy and tolerability of three different radiotherapy (RT) regimens for patients with vertebral metastases in a low-middle-income country setting, focusing specifically on the effectiveness of single-fraction radiotherapy.
Methods: Conducted at the National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital, Bangladesh, from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021, this prospective, non-randomized study enrolled 90 patients aged 18 to 75 years with histologically confirmed primary malignancies and vertebral metastases. Patients were allocated to one of three treatment arms: 8 Gy in a single fraction (Arm A), 20 Gy in 5 fractions (Arm B), or 30 Gy in 10 fractions (Arm C).
Utilization of cold-formed steel-framed emergency shelter for typhoon reliefs in the Philippines.
Heliyon
November 2024
Department of Civil Engineering, De La Salle University, 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila, Philippines.
The destructive aftermath of storms and typhoons in the Philippines more prominently affects isolated remote locations that lack methodical and strategic procedures to address the situation. One form of assistance provided during disasters is the construction of shelters, which can be categorized as emergency, temporary, or transitional, serving as protection during recovery periods. Cold-formed steel (CFS) is widely used, and its versatility in fabrication and configurability make it an ideal candidate for building emergency shelters that are lightweight, easy to assemble, upgradeable, and cost-effective.

BMC Pregnancy Childbirth
November 2024
Medical School, Swansea University, Swansea, SA2 8PP, UK.
Background: Adequate maternity care and appropriate clinical interventions during labour and delivery can reduce adverse perinatal outcomes, but unnecessary interventions may cause harm. While studies have shown that refugees and asylum seekers face important barriers when accessing maternity care, there is a lack of high-quality quantitative data on perinatal health interventions, such as induction of labour or caesarean sections, among refugees and asylum seekers and the findings reported in the literature tend to be inconsistent. Our goal was to examine and synthesise the evidence regarding the rates of intrapartum clinical interventions in women who are refugees and asylum seekers in high-income countries compared to other population groups.
