The aim of the paper is to understand the culture around birth and indigenous people. This study aimed to understand First Nations women’s perceptions of placenta burial and a dedicated placenta garden in supporting connection to their culture.

Although Indigenous Australians critically ill with sepsis have similar short and long-term mortality rates, they present to hospital, die in-hospital, and die post-discharge significantly younger. Unique cohort characteristics may explain these outcomes, and assist clinicians, researchers and policy-makers in targeting interventions to these characteristics to best reduce the burden of sepsis in this cohort and improve their healthcare outcomes.

Climate change health risks in cities can be addressed with vulnerability reduction.

This study, which involved 1,344 sexually active cisgender women (aged 18–57), suggests that sexual communication plays a crucial role in the development of a positive sexual experience, both in single women and those in stable relationships. According to the results obtained, if there is a basic inability to regulate one's emotions, maturity and experience do not improve this association.

The study proposes a causal fairness algorithm to assess fairness in clinical decision-making. Our algorithm accounts for the heterogeneity of patient populations and identifies potential unfairness in treatment allocation by conditioning on patients who have the same likelihood to benefit from the treatment. 

Rohingya women displaced in Bangladesh demonstrate tremendous resilience in the face of severe gender restrictions and risks to personal safety exacerbated by climate change. They have employed information and communication technologies to share health information and resources, resist restrictions on their mobility, and forge new opportunities for themselves; efforts that contributed to controlling the risk of COVID-19 transmission within the camp in early 2020 and generating an innovative early-warning system to combat disasters exacerbated by climate change.

The article provides a scoping review of the literature on United States doula programs and their outcomes to inform state-level policies.

This study developed a predictive model for intellectual disability (ID) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) using clinical features such as CP subtypes, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels, Magnetic Resonance Imaging Classification System (MRICS), and comorbid epilepsy. The model highlights the significant association between motor impairment severity and ID risk, emphasizing the importance of early identification and intervention for high-risk children.

Māori and Pacific people want to take charge of their heart health but face challenges. Participants described important obligations to family, community and tikanga (the culturally correct way of doing things). Participants described times when health care undermined existing responsibilities, their dignity and/or their mana, and they felt excluded from treatment as a result.
