This is a theoretical-reflective study that aimed to analyze the contexts associated with gynaecological care for women with physical disabilities. Discussion consisted of contextual analysis according to Hinds, Chaves and Cypress, leading to four interconnected layers: immediate, specific, general and metacontext. Analysis showed that gynaecological assistance to clients with physical disabilities is influenced by attitudinal, structural, financial and informational barriers. Other influential issues are social beliefs and stigmas and the persistence of a biomedical model, which is hegemonic in this type of assistance. Therefore, gynaecological care must be valued based on the holistic paradigm offered by a transdisciplinary team in orderto provide quality care to women with physical disabilities.

Electrolyte imbalance management is crucial in diverse clinical scenarios, with intravenous potassium repletion often required. High-concentration infusions can pose severe complications if extravasation occurs, leading to phlebitis, local tissue damage, or in severe cases, cutaneous necrosis. This risk is elevated in geriatric patients due to factors like reduced tissue elasticity and sensitivity.

Background: Preeclampsia is a hypertensive pregnancy disorder marked by endothelial damage. Healthy endothelium is covered by a protective glycocalyx layer, which, when degraded, releases detectable products into the blood. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a cardiovascular biomarker involved in glycocalyx preservation, linked to placentation and preeclampsia development.

Background and aim Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), now known as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), is more common in people with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than in people without diabetes mellitus (non-DM). This disease can lead to cirrhosis or hepatic cancer. There is limited data on NAFLD prevalence and the level of risk of fibrosis in Bangladeshi individuals.
