Since the early 2000s, malaria cases in Cambodia have declined steadily. Village malaria workers (VMWs) have played a critical role in reducing malaria transmission and progress towards malaria elimination. To prevent malaria re-establishment, however, implementation strategies need to consider carefully the changing healthcare needs in the communities as well as challenges to, and opportunities for, programme adaptation.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, concerns about infection placed limitations on women's decision-making and infringed upon some of their rights.

Article Synopsis
- Plastic production is mainly happening in urban areas, leading to soil contamination with plastic fragments, especially from adhesive vinyl used in signage.
- This study is the first to examine how weathered adhesive vinyl can break down into microplastics in urban soils, revealing significant concentrations of microplastics in soil samples taken from around a sign exposed for eight years.
- The findings highlight the need for more sustainable materials in urban signage and suggest this research can aid in developing public policies on plastic pollution and improve controls on polluting companies.

The optimal approach for clinical staging, particularly in asymptomatic patients presenting with intermediate-risk disease, remains a topic of dialogue among clinicians.
