The hydrogel adhesives with strong tissue adhesion and biological characteristics adhm202404447are urgently needed for injury sealing and tissue repair. However, the negative correlation between tissue adhesion and the mechanical strength poses a challenge for their practical application. Herein, a bio-inspired cohesive enhancement strategy is developed to prepare the hydrogel adhesive with simultaneously enhanced mechanical strength and tissue adhesion.

Background: Placental abruption is a critical obstetric condition characterized by the premature separation of the placenta from the uterus, leading to severe maternal and fetal complications. In Ethiopia, the maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality rates are alarmingly high, and placental abruption significantly contributes to these adverse outcomes. Despite its severity, there is a lack of comprehensive data on the burden, risk factors, and outcomes associated with placental abruption in the Ethiopian context.

In line with global population aging, the number of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT+) older adults is expected to continue to increase. Compared to their heterosexual peers, LGBT+ older adults have poorer physical and psychological health status, experience less social support, and face more barriers when accessing healthcare services, which may lead to higher health disparities and a lower quality of life within LGBT+ older populations. Healthcare providers have been shown to be inadequately prepared to address the unique healthcare needs and challenges of LGBT+ older adults, often leaving these individuals forced to receive care that does not meet their health needs and expectations.
