Article Abstract
With global armed conflicts reaching a 30-year high in 2023, understanding their impact on the progress of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is crucial. Here, we used the propensity score matching method to assess the specific impacts of armed conflict on achieving the 17 SDGs in affected countries from 2000 to 2021. The results indicate that, compared to the hypothetical scenarios without conflict, progress on more than half of the SDGs has slowed by over 5% in countries experiencing armed conflict. This slowdown is most acute in SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and SDG 4 (Quality Education), where impediments exceed 10%. Without such conflicts, these countries could have seen advancements in over one-third of the SDGs, moving from low to moderate levels, or from moderate to high levels of achievement. This information provides insights for conflict-affected countries to identify key SDGs and navigate out of developmental challenges.

For thousands of years, parasitic infections have represented a constant challenge to human health. Despite constant progress in science and medicine, the challenge has remained mostly unchanged over the years, partly due to the vast complexity of the host-parasite-environment relationships. Over the last century, our approaches to these challenges have evolved through considerable advances in science and technology, offering new and better solutions.

Blood pressure variability (BPV), independent of mean BP, is an emerging predictor of cardiovascular risk and hypertension-mediated organ damage. However, its clinical utility remains limited due to the lack of clear guideline recommendations, leading to variability in physician practices. Using the modified Delphi method, this is the first Egyptian consensus to provide expert recommendations for integrating BPV in Egypt's resource-limited settings.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technique or tool to simulate or emulate human "intelligence." Precision medicine or precision histology refers to the subpopulation-tailored diagnosis, therapeutics, and management of diseases with its sociocultural, behavioral, genomic, transcriptomic, and pharmaco-omic implications. The modern decade experiences a quantum leap in AI-based models in various aspects of daily routines including practice of precision medicine and histology.

Yet are there distinctions among civilians that scholars of international law and international relations should consider? On the basis of US military documents and practices, we argue that in the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, a hierarchy of 'civilianness' (Sutton) emerged. This hierarchy was structured along three observable axes of differentiation: personal security, compensation for harm, and credibility.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of infectious disease mortality worldwide, increasingly complicated by the emergence of drug-resistant strains and limitations in existing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Despite decades of global efforts, the disease continues to impose a significant burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where health system weaknesses hinder progress. This comprehensive review explores recent advancements in TB diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance (AMR surveillance), treatment strategies, and vaccine development.
