Nazi concentration camp survivors have been shown to have excess mortality in the first 20 years following their release. To determine if this excess persists, Israeli civil servants were studied. Mortality of camp survivors and of other post-war European immigrants was compared 20-41 years following World War II. Using survival analysis and proportional hazards models, no difference in mortality rates was found.

Exploring perceptions and experiences of gender-based violence among women in a refugee camp setting in Uganda-A qualitative study.

Article Synopsis
- Gender-based violence (GBV) is a significant issue in humanitarian settings like refugee camps, where factors like increased vulnerability and marginalization exacerbate the risks for women.
- A qualitative study conducted with 13 female refugees in Uganda revealed persistent exposure to GBV, with evolving dynamics and increased intimate partner violence linked to shifting gender roles and resource control in the camp.
- The study highlights the need for better understanding and intervention strategies to address GBV, considering women's coping mechanisms such as rebuilding support networks amidst the challenges they face.
Glucagon-like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonists in Cardio-Oncology: Pathophysiology of Cardiometabolic Outcomes in Cancer Patients.

Cancer patients, especially long cancer survivors, are exposed to several cardio-metabolic diseases, including diabetes, heart failure, and atherosclerosis, which increase their risk of cardiovascular mortality. Therapy with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor agonists demonstrated several beneficial cardiovascular effects, including atherosclerosis and heart failure prevention. Cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) suggest that GLP-1 RA could exert cardiorenal benefits and systemic anti-inflammatory effects in patients with type-2 diabetes through the activation of cAMP and PI3K/AkT pathways and the inhibition of NLRP-3 and MyD88.
