Aims: Over recent decades, a body of research has established the presence of pervasive health inequities experienced by Māori. Work to identify the root causes of inequities has focused on the unequal distribution of the determinants of good health, access to healthcare, and racism. This study contributes to a small but growing field of work which engages with Te Tiriti o Waitangi to critique key health documents, focusing on district health boards' (DHBs) annual plans.
Methods: A qualitative, directed content analytical approach was used to investigate whether DHBs' 2019/2020 annual plans were consistent with the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, as identified by the Wai 2575 Waitangi Tribunal inquiry.
Results: While annual plans contained actions that aligned with the principles of active protection and equity, comparatively few related to the principles of options, partnership, and tino rangatiratanga. Overall, DHB actions operated to constrain options available to Māori and efforts to exercise the Tiriti-guaranteed right of tino rangatiratanga in the provision of health services.
Conclusion: While DHBs' annual plans expressed commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, their content did not give effect to these commitments. Significant shifts are necessary if future New Zealand Health Plans are Tiriti-responsive documents that deliver Tiriti-responsive health services.

This article evaluates the prospects for rainwater harvesting (RWH) as a means of optimizing water management in the Mandara Mountains. RWH is a small-scale water conservation approach for locally intercepting and storing rainfall before it enters the usual hydrologic cycle. This ancient practice has recently sustained lives in semiarid areas of the world (e.

The vegetation index is a key satellite-based variable used to monitor global vegetation distribution and growth. However, existing vegetation index datasets face limitations in achieving both high spatial and temporal resolution, restricting their application potential. This study revised a machine learning spatiotemporal fusion model (InENVI) to produce a high-resolution NDVI dataset with 8-day temporal and 30 m spatial resolution, covering China from 2001 to 2020.

Aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) account for up to 40% of all unruptured intracranial aneurysms [1-3] and 14% to 20% of ruptured ones. [4-5] Giant MCA aneurysms are rare, representing 10% of cases [6], but carry an aggressive natural history, with the UCAS Japan study reporting an annual rupture rate of ∼ 17%. [7].

: Bladder cancer is a significant clinical problem with approximately 500,000 new cases worldwide annually. In approximately 25% of cases, disease is diagnosed at a stage of invasion of the muscle layer of the bladder. The current standard approach in this disease is preoperative chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy.

The incidence of melanoma among young adults has risen, yet mortality has declined annually since the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). The utilization of peri-operative ICI has significantly altered the treatment landscape in melanoma, with PD-1 inhibitors showing promising efficacy in improving relapse-free survival rates in high-risk stage II-III disease. With the increasing use of ICI, secondary concerns have emerged regarding the impact of cancer drugs on fertility and reproductive health among women of childbearing potential, especially in early-stage cancer settings.
