Introduction: Head and neck cancers were generally characterized with many possible causes. Exposure to outdoor particulate matter affected to multiple organ systems but it was unknown whether which species in PM was an association with cancer incidence.
Objectives: The study aimed to examine the oral- oropharyngeal- laryngeal cancer incidence and accumulated air pollution-related cancers in the spatial patterns.
Methods: Observational study was conducted, and the Poisson log-linear models were used which were analyzed on subgroups-specific incidence rates by national references of Thailand and NASA's database of aerosol diagnostics model (MERRA-2).
Results: With a significant influence on increasing of 1 μg/m black carbon, organic carbon, Dust-PM, and SO were associated with increased cancer risk in 1.433 times (95%CI: 1.215-1.690), 1.272 times (95%CI: 1.139-1.420), 3.640 times (95%CI: 2.011-6.589), and 1.704 times (95%CI: 1.334-2.177), respectively.
Conclusion: This study indicated that oral-oropharyngeal-laryngeal cancer incidence could worsen because of adverse air pollution conditions. These issues should be addressed and the importance of the monitoring procedure for dust-PM, sulfate, black carbon, and organic carbon should be emphasized.

Background: Doulas, non-clinical professionals who provide support throughout the perinatal period, can positively impact patient experiences and clinical outcomes during birth. Doulas often support hospital-based births without being employed by the hospital system, resulting in varied relationships with hospitals and clinicians. Systems-level changes are needed to maximize collaboration between hospitals and doulas to ensure facilitation of, and not barriers to, doula support.

Objective: Ankle osteoarthritis is a debilitating condition that significantly impairs patients' quality of life. Platelet-rich plasma has emerged as a novel cellular therapy in clinical practice. This study evaluates the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) after intervention in ankle disorders, so as to provide strong evidence in support of clinical treatment.

In many settings, midwifery educators insufficiently prepared for their teaching role and deficient curriculum compared to international standards affect the quality of healthcare provided by the midwifery graduates. This study assessed the effectiveness of an EmONC enhanced midwifery curriculum delivered by trained and mentored midwifery educators on the quality of education and student performance in Kenya.

Background: The burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is severe worldwide. Although many studies have investigated the association of particulate pollution with CVD, the effect of finer particulate pollution components on CVD remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the effect of five PM components ([Formula: see text], sulfate; [Formula: see text], nitrate; [Formula: see text], ammonium; OM, organic matter; BC, carbon black) on CVD admission in Shanghai City, identify the susceptible population, and provide clues for the prevention and control of particulate pollution.
