The global burden of unintentional drowning significantly declined in the past three decades, and the improvement of SDHs such as GDP per capita and health spending mainly contributed to the decrease. Our findings indicate that improvement of SDHs is critical for drowning prevention and control. (Source: BMJ Open)

Survey-based atmospheric emission inventory for the residential sector: Santiago Island, Cabo Verde
This study aims to develop a high-resolution residential atmospheric emission inventory and provide an up-to-date fuel consumption dataset to be used by developing countries. For that, Santiago Island (Cabo Verde) was selected as a case study and a survey-based approach was considered, due to the lack of data in this region. From the survey to main conclusions pop-out: i) no significant differences in residential fuel consumption in the analysed municipalities were observed; ii) the highest fuel consumption per capita was recorded for the firewood, followed by charcoal and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG); iii) the maximum ho...

Cervical cancer in Cape Verde: reappraisal upon referral to a tertiary cancer centre
