Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a well-established therapy for inoperable and high-risk patients of Aortic Stenosis in most of the part of the world. The technological advancements in the hemodynamic performance and design of valve prosthesis and also the data provided by various trials regarding the safety and efficacy of TAVR have widened the scope of TAVR in intermediate and low-risk groups also. The main focus of this review is to discuss the feasibility of TAVR in developing countries. Along with this review, it also gives a detailed outlook of the pros and cons of TAVR along with insight into the future of TAVR and its adoption into the low-risk group.

Digital health and learning have expanded significantly in recent decades though their use in settings of acute health emergencies has only recently begun. Growing experience among organizations working in the digital health and learning space suggest that virtual communities of practice in these areas may have value in response to health emergencies. Evaluation of recent virtual programs applied in acute health emergencies suggest that a pre-established digital learning network can serve as a valuable resource when an acute health emergency strikes.

Background: Addressing perinatal psychological distress in Sierra Leone faces challenges due to the lack of culturally appropriate assessment tools, despite recent WHO recommendations for screening during the pre- and postpartum periods. While high-income countries use tools like the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale or Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), their cross-cultural validity and efficacy in developing countries are uncertain. The aim of this study was to address this gap by developing a functional assessment tool, culturally appropriate screening tool for perinatal psychological distress, and validate it with the PHQ-9.
