The double vulnerability of women with disabilities places them at the center of this research paper. Intersectionality is key in research on gender-based violence. This study analyzes the perspective of the victims and non-victims themselves on this issue, through a comparative analysis between women with and without disabilities, at two levels of analysis: quantitative, through the adaptation of various scales (Assessment Screen-Disability/AAS-D, and the Woman Abuse Screening Tool/WAST), and qualitative, with semi-structured interviews (open scripts and different themes), and focus groups with experts from the associative network. The results obtained indicate that the most frequent type of violence is physical, followed by psychological and sexual, mainly perpetrated by partners. The higher their level of education, the more they defend themselves; receiving public aid can be a risk factor for domestic and sexual violence, and belonging to the associative movement and having paid work outside the home act as preventive measures. In conclusion, it is necessary to establish strategic protection measures and effective detection and intervention systems to make victims visible and care for them.

JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Family Medicine, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Importance: Cervical cancer screening is a crucial public health intervention, but screening disparities exist for women with physical disabilities (WWPD).
Objective: To explore the experiences of WWPD with both traditional speculum examination-based screening and at-home self-sampling for cervical cancer screening.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This qualitative study enrolled 56 WWPD to test self-sampling kits, provide feedback via a survey, and participate in a qualitative interview.
Cross-Country Inequalities in Disease Burden and Quality of Care of Stroke, 1990-2021: A Systematic Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.
Eur J Neurol
February 2025
Nuffield Department of Women's and Reproductive Health, Medical Science Division, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.
Background And Purpose: This study aims to assess the disease burden and care quality along with cross-country inequalities for stroke at global, regional, and national levels from 1990 to 2021.
Methods: Data on stroke were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2021 for the globe, five sociodemographic index (SDI) regions, 21 GBD regions, and 204 countries/territories. The disease burden was quantified using the age-standardized disability-adjusted life years rate (ASDR).

Mobile-based in-home telerehabilitation compared with in-hospital face-to-face rehabilitation for elderly patients after total hip arthroplasty in China's level 1 trauma center: a noninferiority randomized controlled trial.
Front Surg
January 2025
Rehabilitation Center, The First Rehabilitation Hospital in Shanghai, Shanghai, China.
Background: Telerehabilitation is gaining popularity in European and American countries, but whether it can be successfully implemented in China still lacks support from clinical studies.
Objective: This trial aimed to determine if a home-based telerehabilitation method is clinically noninferior to standard in-hospital face-to-face rehabilitation for elderly patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA) in China.
Methods: This multicenter randomized controlled trial was conducted from January 2021 to June 2022 at The First Rehabilitation Hospital in Shanghai, Shanghai Jiao Tong University affiliated Sixth People's Hospital and Shanghai Tongji University affiliated Tenth People's Hospital.
Gendered Experiences of Intravenous Iron Infusion Reactions: A Patient Perspective.
J Patient Exp

Hypophosphatemia following iron infusion is thought to be a relatively rare complication of intravenous iron infusion, though research is beginning to demonstrate that it occurs more often than previously assumed. Still, healthcare professionals are often unaware of this potential complication. This, coupled with the medical bias women can receive in health settings-plus the over-representation of women receiving intravenous iron-means that symptoms of hypophosphatemia may be misinterpreted or worse, misdiagnosed.
