This paper presents a design formula for a printed spiral coil to ensure the maximum quality factor (Q-factor). The formula is composed of a pattern's metal thickness, single pattern width, total pattern width, and turn number, and is effective in the megahertz (MHz) frequency range. During the formula's design, the resistance, self-inductance, and Q-factor are calculated according to the ratio of each pattern's width and total pattern width and the turn number for different metal thicknesses, frequencies, and total pattern widths using a volume filament model (VFM). With a given turn number and metal thickness, the optimal ratio of individual and total pattern widths can be determined to ensure the maximum Q-factor. To verify the formula, some optimal coils were fabricated, and the calculations and measurements were shown to have good agreement. Furthermore, the optimized coils were shown to have higher coupling efficiency than the coils without optimal dimensions.

Context: The injuries caused by falls-from-height (FFH) are a significant public health concern. FFH is one of the most common causes of polytrauma. The injuries persist to be significant adverse events and a challenge regarding injury severity assessment to identify patients at high risk upon admission.

Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) pose a significant health threat owing to their high misdiagnosis rate. Case reports suggest that DAVFs or related acute events may follow medication use; however, drug-related risk factors remain unclear. In clinical practice, the concomitant use of multiple drugs for therapy is known as "polypharmacy situations," further increasing the risk of drug-induced DAVF.

Background: Use of health applications (apps) to support healthy lifestyles has intensified. Different app features may support effectiveness, including gamification defined as the use of game elements in a non-game situation. Whether health apps with gamification can impact behaviour change and cardiometabolic risk factors remains unknown.

Background: Adolescents (10-19 years old) have poor outcomes across the prevention-to-treatment HIV care continuum, leading to significant mortality and morbidity. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions that documented HIV outcomes among adolescents in HIV high-burden countries.
Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for studies published between January 2015 and September 2024, assessing at least one HIV outcome along the prevention-to-care cascade, including PrEP uptake, HIV testing, awareness of HIV infections, ARV adherence, retention, and virological suppression.

Background: Despite the availability of various pharmacological and behavioural interventions, alcohol-related mortality is rising. This systematic review aimed to critically evaluate the existing literature on the association between glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists use (GLP-1 RAs) and alcohol consumption.
Methods: Electronic searches were conducted on Ovid Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, clintrials.
