The incidence of anaemia in adolescents has increased. Apart from increasing nutritional requirements, behavioral changes are needed to prevent anaemia. This systematic review aims to review effective communication methods to prevent anaemia in adolescents. Articles were searched from five electronic databases such as Science-direct, PubMed, Sage, ProQuest, and Springer. An online search for articles was carried out in August 2023 provided that articles were published from 2018 to 2023. The PICOS framework was used as a guide to obtain searchable keywords. Several keywords used for literature searching include "communication methods to prevent anaemia" and "anaemia prevention in adolescence". Following the application of several inclusion and exclusion criteria, including the use of PRISMA flowchart as a guide, a total of 10 articles were shortlisted for the final analysis. The review showed that well-planned communication strategies with communication in integrated health care system is an effective method to promote behavioral changes needed to reduce anaemia in adolescents through dietary/nutritional modifications such as an increase in iron folic acid use among them. This occurs through an increase in knowledge and improved attitude towards the prevention of anaemia among adolescents.

Background: Surveys based on capillary blood show that anaemia is rampant in India, but capillary blood haemoglobin (Hb) may not accurately reflect venous blood Hb concentrations. Further, iron deficiency (ID) is thought to be the main cause of anaemia, there are no venous blood-based surveys to confirm this.
Methods: A community-based (urban, slum and rural) cross-sectional, venous blood survey was conducted in eight Indian states to estimate anaemia and ID prevalences from Hb and inflammation-corrected plasma ferritin concentrations in adolescents, adults, and elderly.

Adequate nutrition during pregnancy and postpartum is critical to maternal and child health, but there is often a missing focus around health outcomes specifically for women. Women's health includes sex-specific biological attributes and socially constructed gender roles framing behaviours and practices. This narrative review aims to highlight key areas where women's health has been underrepresented in pregnancy and postpartum nutrition research.

Background: Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) and transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) remain a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Both VOD and TA-TMA share an underlying etiology of microvascular endothelial damage. Potential under-recognition of TA-TMA in the context of VOD leaves HSCT recipients vulnerable to additional endothelial damage, and risk of end-organ failure.
