Article Abstract

Gender-based violence (GBV) is disproportionately perpetrated against women and girls, due to harmful gender and social norms, structural gender-based power inequalities and pervasive discrimination against women and girls globally. In settings of fragility (eg, weak governance and humanitarian emergencies), risk factors for GBV are exacerbated while protective factors are eroded. Adequate nutrition is critical for mental and physical health and ensuring adequate nutrition for children in fragile settings is particularly critical. Fragile settings include heightened risk for GBV and malnutrition, but the combined impact of these two health contributors has rarely been examined together. Based on a rapid evidence assessment, we present evidence for associations between GBV against women and girls and child nutrition outcomes, identifying gaps in the evidence base and discussing key conceptual and methodological issues concerning research on this intersection. Improved understanding of the intersections between GBV and nutrition outcomes can help further highlight the linkages between these two public health issues and help inform programming and policy in both sectors.

In unstructured environments, robots face challenges in efficiently and accurately grasping irregular, fragile objects. To address this, this paper introduces a soft robotic hand tailored for such settings and enhances You Only Look Once v5s (YOLOv5s), a lightweight detection algorithm, to achieve efficient grasping. A rapid pneumatic network-based soft finger structure, broadly applicable to various irregularly placed objects, is designed, with a mathematical model linking the bending angle of the fingers to input gas pressure, validated through simulations.

Background: Blister-like intracranial aneurysms are rare fragile lesions with a high risk of rupture leading to acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and significant morbidity. Flow diversion (FD) has emerged as a promising endovascular treatment, particularly for complex cases unsuitable for clipping or coiling, but evidence in ruptured settings remains limited due to challenges such as the risks of dual antiplatelet therapy. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FD in ruptured blister-like aneurysms during aSAH through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Radiation therapy is used in the clinical scenario of oligo-metastatic lung cancer as a weapon to delay the subsequent line of systemic therapy, particularly in the case of oligo-progressive disease. In this setting, the integration of immunotherapy and radiotherapy plays an important role to achieve local control and improve progression-free survival (PFS).

Case Presentation: We reported the case of an elderly fragile patient affected by advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with pembrolizumab as first systemic line and immuno-modulant radiation therapy at oligo-progression.

In 2024, 194 countries endorsed World Health Assembly Resolution (WHA77.2) to strengthen participation in health-related decision-making. Achieving this requires strong leadership to institutionalise community participation by embedding it into health system functions.

Background: Immunization remains a cornerstone of global public health; however, Somalia faces critical challenges in achieving equitable vaccination coverage, particularly among internally displaced individuals (IDPs). The National immunization rates for diseases such as diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP3), measles, and polio remain below 50%, exacerbated by decades of conflict, fragile healthcare infrastructure, and socioeconomic disparities. IDPs in Somalia encounter unique barriers, including overcrowded living conditions and limited access to healthcare and mobility, which disrupt care continuity.
