Reliable and timely guidelines are essential in health emergencies. This study aims to identify and comprehensively understand the determinants that influence the development and implementation of EBPGs during health emergencies from the perspective of guideline developers and implementers. In this article, we describe the study protocol. METHODOLOGY: We will conduct an exploratory sequential mixed-methods study composed of four phases: (I) a qualitative descri

Inequitable access to sport in juvenile justice across the USA: findings from a national survey.

The USA incarcerates more young people than any other industrialized nation in the world, and black youth are much more likely to be incarcerated than white youth. Young people who interface with the criminal justice system are at higher risk for poor health upon release and the justice system is believed to be a contributor to racial health disparities. Sport participation during incarceration has the potential to improve health and health equity, but the evidence on the health benefits of youth sport participation has almost exclusively focused on school and community settings in the USA wit

PATHA's vision for transgender healthcare under the current health reforms.

AIM: The Aotearoa New Zealand healthcare system does not adequately meet the needs of transgender people. Due to healthcare reforms and increases in funding and awareness of transgender health, the Ministry of Health has met with the Professional Association for Transgender Health Aotearoa (PATHA) to discuss ways to improve the healthcare system. We developed a vision for a transgender healthcare document to enable a process for our members to collaborate and to increase transparency about what advice PATHA has provided to the Ministry. METHOD: Feedback from PATHA's committees was incorporate

Sexual orientation, gender identity and virologic failure among people with HIV: a cohort study in all of US research program.

BACKGROUND: Sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) are at higher risk of HIV incidence compared to their heterosexual cisgender counterparts. Despite the high HIV disease burden among SGMs, there was limited data on whether they are at higher risk of virologic failure, which may lead to potential disease progression and increased transmission risk. The All of Us (AoU) Research Program, a national community-engaged program aiming to improve health and facilitate health equity in the United States by partnering with one million participants, provides a promising resource for identifying a diverse a

Advancing global dementia research through equity and inclusion.

Despite the global burden of dementia, research remains dominated by high-income, Western populations, limiting the generalizability and equity of findings. In this Perspective, we highlight the importance of diversity and inclusion in dementia research, not only in study participants but also in the researchers, study design, and funding priorities. We describe how the lack of representation creates knowledge gaps and delays progress in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. We also present examples of initiatives that are working to change this, including the Alzheimer's Disease Data Initiati

Internationally, family physicians have demonstrated the ability to bridge the gap between clinical care and public health outcomes. Though. Family medicine has been misunderstood in India and treated as general practice

The HIV response at Resilience During an Inflection Point: Resilience, Innovation and Equity.

World AIDS Day 2025 arrives at a critical inflection point for the global HIV response. Four decades of scientific progress have transformed HIV into a manageable chronic condition, yet funding contractions, widening inequities, and persistent stigma threaten progress towards epidemic control. This review of the Special Collection highlights emerging challenges and opportunities across prevention, care, and social contexts, with a focus on resilience. Digital innovation, accelerated by COVID-19, is reshaping HIV service delivery through telehealth, remote engagement, and online research platfo

The Invisible Controller: A Decade-Long Missed Diagnosis of HIV in a Socially Vulnerable Elite Controller.

Elite controllers (ECs) are rare individuals living with HIV who maintain viral suppression without antiretroviral therapy (ART). Their unique immune responses have contributed significantly to HIV cure research. However, in populations burdened by psychiatric illness and housing insecurity, such cases may go undetected, raising important ethical, clinical, and public health concerns. We present the case of a 62-year-old African American woman with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, traumatic brain injury, and unstable housing who was hospitalized after a ground-level fall. During routine testin

Global, regional, and national burden of acute hepatitis (1990-2021): a systematic analysis of the global burden of disease in 2021.

BACKGROUND: Acute viral hepatitis (AVH) remains a global health concern, with significant variations in incidence, mortality, and DALYs across different regions, age groups, genders, and socioeconomic levels. This study explores AVH trends using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database (1990-2021). METHODS: We analyzed age-standardized incidence, mortality, and DALY rates across 204 countries and 27 super-regions. Trends were quantified using the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) and decomposition analysis to assess the contributions of population growth, aging, and epide

Leaving no one behind in armed conflict-affected settings of Africa: is universal health coverage a possibility or mirage?

The world is off track six years to the 2030 deadline for attaining the sustainable development goals and universal health coverage. This is particularly evident in Africa's armed conflict-affected and humanitarian settings, where pervasively weak health systems, extreme poverty and inequitable access to the social dimensions and other determinants of health continue to pose significant challenges to universal health coverage. In this article, we review the key issues and main barriers to universal health coverage in such settings. While our review shows that the current health service deliver

Women in Medicine: The Limits of Individualism in Academic Medicine.

In the 21st century, more than ever before, issues facing women in medicine, such as pay equity and workplace harassment, are being explored and attended to by physicians and health care institutions. Discussions about women in medicine almost exclusively center around women physicians, even though most women in medicine are, in fact, not physicians. In addition, these discussions typically focus on gender, often failing to consider how race, class, and other dimensions of identity influence the experiences of women in medicine. In this article, the authors argue that neoliberal feminism is th

An Analysis of Individual and Contextual-Level Disparities in Screening, Treatment, and Outcomes for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver and affects patients of all genders, races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic status. While the causes of HCC are numerous, the primary etiology is cirrhosis from alcohol and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the United States and from infectious agents such as Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C in the developing world. In patients at-risk for developing HCC, screening is recommended with ultrasound imaging and alpha fetoprotein laboratory tests. In socioeconomically vulnerable patients, however, individual-level barrie

Predictors of filing claims and receiving compensation in malignant mesothelioma patients.

Although the predominant occupation origin of mesothelioma is well known, determinant factors involved in filing compensation are scarcely investigated. A linkage between incident mesothelioma cases collected by Italian mesothelioma register (ReNaM) and compensation claims and assignment by Italian national insurance Institute (INAIL) has been conducted for cases diagnosed in the period 2010-2015 and occupational exposure to asbestos. Logistic regression models and decision tree models have been used to identify demographic, diagnostic and anamnestic factors significant for filing and receivin
