Article Abstract
Over the years healthcare services during conflict have informed healthcare practice especially in trauma care. Conflict zones have constraints not very different from low-resource settings specifically in dealing with urban violence. Yet, there is limited in-depth study on conflict medicine. This is being slowly recognised in health literature. Two recent papers in International Health have indicated that trauma care packages in conflict settings could be adapted in low-resource settings. There is a need to overview and audit healthcare services in conflict zones further to identify more areas of overlap and possible lessons it holds for improving trauma outcomes in other settings.

Humanitarian crises, particularly in conflict zones, create cascading disruptions that impact every aspect of daily life, including health and disease outcomes. While international humanitarian frameworks categorize these crises into discrete operational clusters, affected populations experience them as interwoven, systemic failures. This study examines how conflict-induced disruptions transform a preventable and typically self-limiting disease-Hepatitis A-into a fatal outcome.

In this study, we develop a method to estimate hourly air temperatures at resolution, improving exposure assessment of US population when compared to existing gridded products. We use an extensive network of personal weather stations to capture the intra-urban variability.

Introduction: In sub-Saharan Africa, the burden of sickle cell disease remains high. With annual sickle cell births of about 150,000, Nigeria is reported to have the highest prevalence of the disease globally. This study aimed to explore the views and perspectives of healthcare professionals regarding access to healthcare services for sickle cell disease.

This article presents the rare occurrence of a trichilemmal cyst in the orbit of a 69-year-old female patient, who presented with a headache of acute onset and relative unilateral proptosis of the left eye. CT scan showed a cystic, well-demarcated, round hypodense lesion, with spotted calcification. Surgery was performed for the extraction and analysis of the lesion, which showed typical histological findings of a trichilemmal tumor.

Understanding the intricate relationship between land use/land cover (LULC) transformations and land surface temperature (LST) is critical for sustainable urban planning. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of LULC and LST across Delhi, India, using thermal data from Landsat 7 (2001), Landsat 5 (2011) and Landsat 8 (2021) resampled to 30-m spatial resolution, during the peak summer month of May. The study aims to target three significant aspects: (i) to analyse and present LULC-LST dynamics across Delhi, (ii) to evaluate the implications of LST effects at the district level and (iii) to predict seasonal LST trends in 2041 for North Delhi district using the seasonal auto-regressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) time series model.
