Over the years healthcare services during conflict have informed healthcare practice especially in trauma care. Conflict zones have constraints not very different from low-resource settings specifically in dealing with urban violence. Yet, there is limited in-depth study on conflict medicine. This is being slowly recognised in health literature. Two recent papers in International Health have indicated that trauma care packages in conflict settings could be adapted in low-resource settings. There is a need to overview and audit healthcare services in conflict zones further to identify more areas of overlap and possible lessons it holds for improving trauma outcomes in other settings.

Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) has a global impact, affecting coastal aquifers, the freshwater environment, and contributing to coastal development. The present study investigates the impact of Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) on groundwater geochemistry along the coast from Chettikulam to Kolachel in Southern India, with an emphasis on regional changes pre and post monsoons in the years 2023-2024. A total of 80 groundwater samples (40 from both monsoons) were analyzed using hydrochemical plots such as Piper, Wilcox, Gibbs, and Hydrochemical Facies Evolution Diagrams (HFE-D), along with AquaChem software and spatial mapping techniques.

Context: In crisis-affected health systems, the performance of health zones (also known as health districts) is challenged by recurrent armed conflicts and state fragility. The profiles of health zone managers and contextual factors can significantly influence the zones' ability to effectively respond to population health needs. This study explores these interactions to identify key factors associated with health zones performances in three provinces of Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a region that has endured over three decades of conflict.

Heatwaves, characterized by prolonged high temperatures, have become a recurrent and severe phenomenon in Bangladesh, posing significant risks to public health, agriculture, and socioeconomic stability. This study analyzed the characterization and long-term projections of heatwave patterns in Bangladesh's western and northwestern climatic zones, addressing a critical gap in understanding regional vulnerabilities to extreme temperature events. Heatwave thresholds were defined using the Bangladesh Meteorological Department Criterion, a percentile-based criterion, and the Indian Meteorological Department Criterion, providing a comprehensive framework for assessing heatwave intensity and frequency.

Purpose: The thoracolumbar junction (T10-L2) is a common site for spinal disorders such as fractures, tumors, and infections. Thoracolumbar vertebral corpectomy can be performed through the extracoelomic spaces approach (retropleural, retroperitoneal, and retrodiaphragmatic). The standard for selecting rib resection has not been described.
