This study investigates the implementation of collaborative route planning between trucks and drones within rural logistics to improve distribution efficiency and service quality. The paper commences with an analysis of the unique characteristics and challenges inherent in rural logistics, emphasizing the limitations of traditional methods while highlighting the advantages of integrating truck and drone technologies. It proceeds to review the current state of development for these two technologies and presents case studies that illustrate their application in rural logistics. Building on this analysis, a collaborative path planning method is proposed, establishing a path optimization model and designing an enhanced simulated annealing algorithm. The effectiveness of this approach is validated through simulation experiments, which reveal that the collaborative delivery system for trucks and drones can significantly boost efficiency, lower costs, and improve service quality. In conclusion, the research findings and potential future research directions are discussed to offer theoretical insights and practical guidance for further innovations in rural logistics technology.

Background: Motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), a pre-dementia syndrome, is a risk factor for disability and mortality. However, few studies have examined the associations between sleep quality trajectories and MCR. This study aimed to explore the associations between sleep quality trajectories and MCR, and whether these associations vary by gender among Chinese rural older adults.

Objective: New Zealand and international guidelines recommend surveillance mammography in breast cancer survivors. Ethnic breast cancer-specific diagnosis, treatment and survival inequities exist in Aotearoa New Zealand. Surveillance mammography uptake remains poorly studied internationally and has never been studied in AoNZ.

Background: Despite the availability of antivenom, not all snakebite victims choose to seek allopathic care. This choice of care is likely to be determined by unexplored personal and external factors. We studied the factors influencing the choice of treatment and first aid measures among snakebite victims.

Background: Bangladesh has a high rate of snakebite. In rural areas, there is a significant mortality and morbidity rate due to lack of awareness and inappropriate first aid practices. This study aims to determine the knowledge and practices of the rural population in two subdistricts of Bangladesh regarding snakebite prevention and first aid measures.

Background: Black patients, those with low socioeconomic status (SES), and those living in rural areas have elevated rates of major lower extremity amputation, which may be related to a lack of subspecialty chronic limb-threatening ischemia care. We evaluated the association between race, rurality, SES, and preamputation vascular care.
Methods: Among patients aged 66 to 86 years with fee-for-service Medicare who underwent major lower extremity amputation for chronic limb-threatening ischemia from July 2010 to December 2019, we compared the proportion who received vascular care in the 12 months before amputation by race (Black versus White), rurality, and SES (dual eligibility for Medicaid versus no dual eligibility) using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for clinical and demographic covariates.
