The coexistence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the same patient is referred to as overlap syndrome (OS). Patients with OS suffer more frequently from cardiovascular disease (CVD) and carry a higher risk of COPD-related exacerbations than patients with COPD alone, especially when OSA is left untreated. Based on recent evidence, triple therapy, namely inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting muscarinic antagonist/long-acting beta-agonist (ICS-LABA-LAMA), is a treatment strategy in COPD patients with a history of exacerbations and/or CVD comorbidity.

Conflict-affected regions face severe reproductive health challenges that disproportionately impact adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) and children, who are especially vulnerable due to the breakdown of healthcare systems and limited access to essential services. AGYW are at heightened risk due to restricted access to family planning, prenatal care, and emergency obstetric services, while children face malnutrition, disease outbreaks, and developmental delays. These challenges have profound long-term consequences for both their physical and psychological well-being.

Primary care researchers are increasingly at the forefront of developing innovations and new research methods to address complex issues in health care, including multi-morbidity, social determinants of health, health equity, managing population health in clinical practice, patient satisfaction, and provider burnout. Research demonstrates that "primary care is the only health care component where an increased supply is associated with better population health and more equitable outcomes." As a primary care specialty, family medicine has evolved beyond its initial focus on clinical practice and education to realizing the imperative for the discipline to robustly engage in research and embrace the responsibility to generate the evidence that drives changes in primary care practice and policy.
