Immigrant women of Pakistani origin are among the most at-risk groups for type 2 diabetes, obesity, and heart failure in Catalonia. As the incidence of these diseases is associated with lifestyle factors, we approached this community with participatory research and conducted six focus groups (N = 36) among Pakistani women participating in the PakCat Program. The research process of this paper adhered to the COREQ checklist. Through the thematic analysis, we identified six main themes: social beliefs and attitudes, family environment, personal factors, dietary acculturation, traditional dietary patterns, and economic factors. We discovered both facilitators and barriers associated with each theme, but the findings indicated that Pakistani women encounter more inhibitors than enablers to following a healthy diet. The determination of these factors can facilitate the reinforcement of the aspects that help Pakistani women to follow a healthy diet and provide adequate tools to overcome the barriers.

Introduction: In Pakistani migrant families, contextual transformation can affect adult caregivers' parental skills and their ability to exercise positive parenting. We focused on identifying and describing patterns, practices and beliefs about parenting, identifying differential characteristics between the context of origin and the host context, and exploring Pakistani immigrants' use of resources or assets in the area of parenting support.
Methods: Participants consisted of 20 women, established in Catalonia, Spain (<5 years of residence) who have children (at least one of preschool-age).

Article Synopsis
- Endometrial cancer is a significant health issue for women worldwide, being the sixth most common cancer and the 14th leading cause of cancer-related deaths, particularly for high-grade tumors like UEC, DEC, and CS.
- The study analyzed data from 71 patients diagnosed with these aggressive tumors at SKMCH&RC from 2011 to 2022, focusing on clinicopathological characteristics and survival rates using statistical tools like SPSS and Kaplan-Meier analysis.
- Results indicated that tumors showed significant correlations with factors such as myometrial invasion and lympho-vascular invasion, with a notable 5-year overall survival rate of 59.1% for those diagnosed at an early pathological stage.
