EDITORIAL: Time to treat the climate and nature crisis as one indivisible global health emergency
Over 200 health journals call on the United Nations, political leaders, and health professionals to recognise that climate change and biodiversity loss are one indivisible crisis and must be tackled together to preserve health and avoid catastrophe. This overall environmental crisis is now so severe as to be a global health emergency. (Source: Contraception)

Barriers to abortion provision: A qualitative study among medical students and gynecologists in Berlin, Germany
While abortion is a common medical procedure in Germany, the number of abortion-providing facilities declined by 46% between 2003 and 2022. As existing data do not paint a complete picture of the factors influencing this decline, an understanding into the perspectives of health care professionals (HCPs) is necessary. We set out to examine attitudes of HCPs in Berlin, Germany towards different aspects of abortion, to identify barriers that might prevent them from providing abortions. (Source: Contraception)

Comparison of Estrogenic Components Used for Hormonal Contraception
Attempts have been made over the years to replace ethinyl estradiol (EE) in combined oral contraceptives (COCs) with the less potent natural estrogen estradiol (E2), or its prodrug, E2 valerate (E2V), to improve the safety and tolerability of COCs. Recently, a COC formulation incorporating a novel weak natural estrogen, estetrol (E4), combined with drospirenone, has become available. Here we present a comparative analysis of the three prevailing estrogens used in COCs, focusing on their structure-function relationships, receptor-binding affinity, potency, metabolism, pharmacokinetic parameters, and pharmacodynamics.
