Article Abstract
Objective: Intersectional and structural intervention approaches are critical to addressing health inequities experienced by transgender and gender diverse (trans) populations. In this commentary, we reflect on the implementation of a community-led, medical-legal partnership project designed to address barriers to legal gender affirmation and improve health outcomes for trans women of color with criminal records in Detroit.
Method: We initiated a partnership between a community health center and legal advocacy organization to address the health-harming legal needs of five trans women of color with criminal records via attorney support and financial assistance.
Results: We enrolled four participants, and two received legal name changes. Our low success rate was largely because of legal costs that far exceeded our expectations and resources. These costs stemmed from compounding monetary sanctions participants received for low-level vehicular civil infractions.
Conclusions: Our implementation of this intervention revealed structural intersectional oppression in action. Monetary sanctions interact with Michigan name change policies requiring court appearances for applicants with criminal records, creating nearly insurmountable barriers to legal gender affirmation for economically vulnerable communities subjected to racism and cissexism. Building intersectional structural competency inclusive of legal literacy via multisectoral collaborations between diverse legal and policy experts, community members, and academic researchers is critical to developing interventions to address structural determinants of trans health.

This study investigates socioeconomic disparities in chronic respiratory diseases and the factors contributing to these inequalities, using data from the 2019 Turkish Health Survey. Multivariate logistic regression and Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition analyses reveal that 13.10% of adults aged 25 and older in Turkey suffer from chronic respiratory diseases, with a significantly higher prevalence among lower socioeconomic status (SES) individuals.

An electrochemical sensor based on MXene/PANI/SnO nanomaterials was developed for the detection of 4-aminophenol (4-AP). In situ oxidative growth of PANI on the MXene surface effectively hindered the stacking of the lamellae and increased the specific surface area of the composites. Further complexation of tin dioxide with swelling properties of the structure provided adsorption and catalytic sites for 4-AP.

Purpose: To develop a comprehensive ICF Core Set (ICF-CS) for vertebral fragility fracture.
Materials And Methods: The development of ICF-CSs involves three phases: i) systematic literature review and qualitative studies; ii) linking process to identify the ICF codes and categories; iii) international consensus process. i) We performed a literature search and qualitative studies with people with vertebral fragility fractures and healthcare professionals; ii) We linked the findings from the search and qualitative studies to the ICF categories, and drafted the proposed ICF-CS; iii) We performed an international consensus process involving experts with clinical or research experience in management of vertebral fragility fractures.

Nano-electronics based neural implants represent a rapidly advancing interdisciplinary domain at the intersection of bioelectronics, nanotechnology, and neuro-engineering. These implantable systems are engineered to restore, modulate, or augment neural functions by establishing high-fidelity, long-term interfaces with neural tissues. The design of such implants necessitates careful consideration of both materials and structural configurations to ensure biocompatibility, mechanical compliance, electrical functionality, and chronic stability.
