Published: December 2025

The balls are rolling for climate change, with increasing vulnerability to women and children related to climate extreme events. Recent evidence has shown that acute exposure to heat wave during pregnancy can be associated with adverse health outcomes in childhood, with the risk being significantly higher among socially disadvantaged population, despite their lack of contribution to global carbon dioxide emissions and the rising global ambient temperature. This unequal impact requires utmost attention to develop tools, establish interdisciplinary teams, and to implement evidence-based interventions for the betterment of women and children in climate-vulnerable populations.

Hyperthermia (HT) has broad potential for disease treatment and health maintenance. Previous studies have shown that far-infrared rays (FIRs) at 8-10 μm can potentially reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and gut microbiota imbalance. However, the effects of FIR HT on energy metabolism require further investigation.

Among nanoparticle platforms, light or photoresponsive nanoparticles have emerged as a promising drug delivery strategy with spatiotemporal control while minimizing off-target effects. The characteristic absorption spectrum of the photoresponsive moiety dictates the wavelength of light needed to activate bond cleavage. However, the low tissue penetration depth limit and short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV) cellular toxicity are considered disadvantageous.
