For how we live.
Severe dehydration from diarrhoeal disease and sepsis can shut down the kidneys. In a health system with little dialysis, a review argues this is a preventable driver of death that surveillance is missing.
In 6,772 users of a US health system's AI triage tool, people engaged about twice as often when the AI matched what they already planned — raising a hard question about what the tools are steering.
Thirty-two interviews across Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Mexico find implementation turned on governance, not software. A separate patent analysis shows where digital therapeutics are not being built.
THESUS-HF II enrolled 1,578 patients across 50 hospitals in 17 countries. Guideline drugs were prescribed at discharge in most patients, and target doses were reached in fewer than half.
A frontier analysis of two decades attributes 97.6% of nutritional disparities between countries to inefficiency rather than to resources. The policy reading is contestable; the decoupling is not.
A national survey finds treatment volumes above 2021 levels and linear accelerators replacing cobalt-60 units. Nearly every department still using cobalt says replacing the source is now unfeasible.
Before October 2023, Palestinian health authorities had documented 50 people living with HIV in Gaza. A viewpoint argues the collapse of testing and treatment has since erased that count entirely.
A systematic review of the Syrian crisis and infectious disease in Lebanon names overcrowding, poor sanitation and blocked healthcare access — not the presence of refugees themselves — as the reported drivers.
A national study built for Australia's first Climate Risk Assessment separates the two exposures across ED, inpatient, GP and prescription data. They do not act on the health system the same way.
A comparative survey finds four European countries still rely on opportunistic screening, and that where family doctors are most involved, participation tends to be lower — not higher.
A 121-country model finds health-system emissions are as unequally distributed as the care itself — and that cutting them may not require cutting care.
The first nationally representative analysis of the 2024 conflict in Lebanon draws on hospital and ministry records. Its most consequential number is how many of the dead arrived already dead.
A national registry analysis found the highest burden among 20-to-29-year-olds and a notable rise among girls aged 10 to 19, with rates concentrated in the Sierra region.
A WHO and Brazil special report released on the summit's Health Day says extreme heat kills over 540,000 people a year and that health facilities face 41% higher weather-damage risk than in 1990.
In a 774-person randomised trial, community health workers delivering medication at home nearly doubled the share of patients whose blood pressure was controlled at six months.
