Generalizability of the REDUCE-IT trial to South Asians with cardiovascular disease
CONCLUSIONS: A large proportion of high-intensity, statin-treated, high-risk patients with ASCVD and of self-reported SA ethnicity are eligible for IPE. These data have important translational implications for SAs who are at a disproportionately higher risk of CV morbidity and mortality.FUNDING: This study was funded by an unrestricted grant provided by HLS Therapeutics Inc, Canada.PMID:36630964 | DOI:10.1016/j.medj.2022.12.008 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 1058: Hand Hygiene, Face Mask Use, and Associated Factors during the COVID-19 Pandemic among the Students of Mongar Higher Secondary School, Bhutan: A Cross-Sectional Study
Wangdi
Non-pharmacological measures, such as hand hygiene and face mask use, continue to play an important role in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is a paucity of studies on the adherence to these measures among students in Bhutan. Therefore, we aimed to investigate hand hygiene and face mask-wearing behaviours, as well as their associated factors, among the students of Mongar Higher Secondary School, Bhutan. We conducted a cross-sectional study amongst the students of Mongar Higher Secondary School in Bhutan. The students self-answered the questionnaire on web-based Google Forms. Multivaria...

A successful Vasovasostomy operation
AbstractVasectomy is performed as a permanent method of contraception for men after completing the family. Many men are seeking vasectomy reversal operations after remarrying new partners. The reversal operation is seen as a challenging procedure that requires a skilled surgeon and sophisticated instruments. This write-up reports a case of vasovasostomy performed successfully on an elderly man using the minimal available facilities at Phuentsholing General Hospital, Bhutan.

Does globalization and energy usage influence carbon emissions in South Asia? An empirical revisit of the debate
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 Dec 22. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-24457-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 agenda hinges on attaining a sustainable environment with the need to "take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts". Hence, this study empirically revisits the debate on the effect of nonrenewable energy and globalization on carbon emissions within the framework of the Kuznets hypothesis using an unbalanced panel data from seven South Asian countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) covering 1980-2019. The v...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 16854: Exploring the Digital Divide among the Bhutanese Refugee Community during COVID-19: Engaged Research in Action
tiel Ishino
The digital divide proved a critical barrier to accessing information and healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic and negatively impacted the Bhutanese refugee community. Moving beyond a technological model of the digital divide that highlights a lack of access to computers and the internet, we engaged the community to co-produce a dynamic approach that identifies the impact of socio-cultural and socio-environmental factors as well. Our paper reports on our community-academic research partnership and explores how the digital divide exacerbates health disparities in a midwestern Bhutanese refugee community. ...
