The Tree of Life group (Ncube, 2006) was designed to help children, young people (CYP), and adults who have experienced hard times or trauma to build resilience, restore hope, and connect with their strengths and social histories. A small number of publications have demonstrated a positive impact with CYP with long-term medical conditions (LTCs) (e.g., Casdagli et al., 2017) who are more likely to experience psychosocial challenges. In the context of increasing workforce pressures, the current study aimed to test i …

Child undernutrition remains a significant population health challenge in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa. Existing research has established an association between socioeconomic factors and child undernutrition, but less attention has been paid to whether the socioeconomic gradient is similar across indicators that capture different underlying processes. Drawing on fundamental cause theory, this study examines the association between household wealth and child stunting and wasting in Nigeria, and the extent to which …

Background Climate-related health risks may coincide with healthcare needs, service disruptions, and preparedness demands, yet the associated expenditure is distributed across public budgets, collective financing, and households. Evidence rarely shows whether multidimensional climate-risk profiles are associated with expenditure growth across these financing channels. We examined associations between four climate-risk dimensions and real growth in government, social, and out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditure in Ch …

Abstract Given that many adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are family-contextual and that family processes shape youth mental health, the current study examined the role of family resilience in the relationship between ACEs and major mental health outcomes among youth aged 6–17 years. We employed the data from 2022 National Survey of Children’s Health in the United States. Structural equation modeling was estimated using the mean- and variance-adjusted weighted least squares estimator (WLSMV) given the categoric …

Abstract Social support is known to be able to buffer against psychological stressors, but further study is needed on how different types of social support and mental health change together over time, especially in special populations like U.S. veterans. Social support can also be divided into four types: Emotional Support/Informational Support, Positive Social Interaction, Tangible Support, and Affectionate Support. Using a longitudinal, nationally representative sample of 735 low-income U.S. veterans over 2 years …

Abstract Background Hearing loss has been reported as a major, potentially modifiable risk factor for dementia and often co-occurs with tinnitus. Both conditions are prevalent and have been linked to brain health and cognitive decline. However, evidence from studies containing the whole age span of adults remains limited. Therefore, this study investigated associations of hearing loss and tinnitus with brain structure and cognitive performance in a large population-based cohort from northeastern Germany. Methods Da …

Despite progress in leprosy control, delayed diagnosis remains a barrier to achieving Zero Leprosy, particularly in low-endemic settings. Diagnostic delay not only sustains hidden transmission but also leads to preventable disability and lifelong consequences for affected individuals. Pakistan, although classified as low endemic, continues to report a high proportion of new leprosy cases presenting with grade 2 disability (G2D), indicating delays in case detection. This study explored the reasons for delayed lepros …

Background: Limited information is available about factors that impact prognosis after quadriceps muscle strain injury, particularly injuries involving the rectus femoris. This study aims to determine whether baseline clinical and radiological findings are associated with time to return to play (RTP) and injury recurrence after rectus femoris muscle strain injury in elite Australian Football players. Hypothesis: Baseline magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings related to the specific anatomical location and sever …

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) place a substantial burden on outpatient health care and are a key focus for antimicrobial stewardship due to rising antimicrobial resistance. Suboptimal treatment can result in ongoing transmission, reinfection and complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease. Evaluating prescribing quality is essential to improve patient care and support stewardship efforts. This review synthesises evidence on antimicrobial prescribing quality for STIs and identifies gaps to inform tar …

On 17 May 2026, the Director-General of the World Health Organization determined that Ebola disease caused by Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda constituted a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Ten days separated the initial alert (05 May) from laboratory confirmation (15 May) although multiple non-laboratory signals were already active. Using this outbreak, we argue that Africa’s principal detection challenge is often not signal availability but the timely inte …

Population aging and the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) place sustained pressure on health systems. In this perspective, I argue that muscle health—muscle mass, strength, and physical function—should be recognized as an explicit and prognostically distinct target within policies for healthy aging and NCD prevention. Two arguments distinguish this from generic physical activity promotion: muscle strength predicts mortality, regardless of activity level, and the most significant gains are produced …
