AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of collective impact strategies to enhance nutrition and health outcomes, highlighting its growing relevance.
- A systematic review was conducted across four databases, ultimately identifying 712 documents but narrowing down to four key studies that examined impacts on breastfeeding, sugary beverage consumption, healthy food access, and obesity.
- The findings indicate that collective impact initiatives show promising results in improving health and nutrition, but further evaluation and reporting methods are necessary for better assessment of their effectiveness.
Article Abstract
Background: Collective impact is gaining traction to improve population health outcomes. This study aimed to determine where and how collective impact is being used in nutrition and describe current understandings of its impacts or results on health or nutrition outcomes.
Methods: A systematic scoping review was undertaken with four databases ('CINAHL Plus', 'Sociological Abstracts', 'PsychInfo', and 'OVID Medline') using the search term 'Collective Impact' from 2011 up to November 2022. All studies were screened independently by two authors. Data were extracted and synthesised narratively.
Results: A total of 712 different documents were identified, with four studies included in the synthesis. Collective impact approaches focussed on breastfeeding, reducing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, increasing access to healthy food, and obesity. Across the four included studies, promising results in improving health and nutrition were reported.
Conclusion: Evaluating and reporting on the outcomes of collective impact initiatives in nutrition using robust methods is needed.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized as a heterogeneous and pathological remodeling of brain physiology because of various external mechanisms, including blows, falls, and rapid acceleration and deceleration of the skull. Its pathophysiology consists of two distinct moments, beginning with a primary lesion resulting from the impact that evolves into a secondary lesion as biochemical and molecular mechanisms are activated. The severity and prognosis after TBI vary widely, depending on factors such as the site of the injury, the patient's premorbid history, and the severity of the injury, and can result in long-term sequelae impacting multiple organs and systems, with a reduction in the life expectancy of these individuals.

The National Policy for the Care of Indigenous Peoples (NPCIP) faces an enormous challenge in operationalization regarding the training and qualification of health professionals to work in an intercultural context. In this article, we open a dialogue with the proposal of a Meeting of Knowledges (MK) as a teaching and learning strategy capable of promoting a critical intercultural education. We seek to reflect on the possible impact of MK in the health field for transforming the university environment, as well as healthcare for Indigenous communities, towards an entrenched, democratic, pluriepistemic, and transdisciplinary perspective.

Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious disease cause of death worldwide. In recent years, stringent measures to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 have led to considerable disruptions of healthcare services for TB in many countries. The extent to which these measures have affected TB testing, treatment initiation and outcomes has not been comprehensively assessed.

Fatty acid metabolism, exercise, and insulin action play critical roles in maintaining vascular health, especially relevant in metabolic disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Insulin, a vasoactive hormone, induces arterial vasodilation throughout the arterial tree, increasing arterial compliance and enhancing tissue perfusion. These effects, however, are impaired in individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes, and evidence suggests that vascular insulin resistance contributes to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and its cardiovascular complications.
