Using gender-sensitive (ensures that resource distribution considers gender) and gender-redistributive (aims to develop balanced gendered relationships through redistributing resources) analytic lenses in urban health interventions is long overdue. The social construction of gender and its impact on the health of marginalized women, especially women who experience homelessness within urban settings is frequently overlooked. Housing research, programs, and policies too often fail to utilize gender redistributive frameworks-perpetuating gendered harm for many. This article provides an update of current practices around consideration of gender in housing interventions and literature while advocating for the necessary incorporation of gender-redistributive practices in housing research and program implementation. Addressing these gaps will address the longstanding neglect that has led to disparities among women who experience homelessness or housing insecurity.

Introduction: Mandibular condylar fractures are among the most common facial fractures and its incidence has been rising since the past few decades. Although various approaches for management of mandibular condylar fractures have been described in literature there is a gap in the published literature when it comes to comparison of these approaches. There have only been a handful of studies which have compared use of Retromandibular Transparotid against Retromandibular anteroparotid approach in management of mandibular condylar fractures with conflicting results.

Objective: To test whether graphomotor tilts stem from a tilted representation of verticality transposed to the top/bottom axis of the sheet of paper, using data from the DOBRAS cohort.

Objective: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a monogenetic disorder associated with sustained mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation, leading to heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Epilepsy and renal angiomyolipoma are the most important causes of morbidity in adult people with TSC (pwTSC). mTOR is a key player in inflammation, which in turn could influence TSC-related clinical manifestations.
