3D printing enables the creation of customized vaginal drug delivery systems that can improve women's healthcare by providing personalized, targeted, and controlled therapeutic solutions. Despite challenges, this innovative approach holds promise to unlock new possibilities for empowering women through advanced and patient-centric drug delivery technologies.

The genetic admixture and cultural exchanges of Central Asian peoples are examined through population genomics, revealing complex interactions and contributions from various ancestral sources over time. The need for more comprehensive genomic resources in the region to advance precision medicine and fill gaps in current databases is also emphasized.

This Article supports SDG 3 by assessing the associations between oral health and functional disability and mortality in older adults.

This paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by showing that the rise in night-time heat due to climate change, which is particularly strong in urban areas due to the urban heat island effect, could have implications for health. The study found a significant association between night-time excess heat and risk of hospitalisation. Rapid urbanisation in low-income and middle-income countries means the numbers of people exposed to excess night-time heat will increase.

Salmeterols (SMTs) are persistent organic pollutants slowly degrading and accumulating in aquatic ecosystems, affecting aquatic life and posing several environmental and health challenges in water sources. This study investigates the adsorption of SMT from aqueous solutions using a novel nano-sized copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF).
