Crucial Questions for US Health Policy in the Next Decade
With the inauguration of President Biden and a shift in control of the US Senate from Republicans to Democrats, the landscape for health policy has changed substantially in 2021. Just as the signing of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by President Obama in 2010, along with sustained Republican opposition to this landmark law, set the health policy agenda for the past decade, the actions of the new president and Congress this year will determine how the US health care system functions and changes over the next decade.

Editorial comment
Former United States President Barack Obama recently remarked, “I'm absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything.” Why, however, do women remain underrepresented in leadership roles, especially in Urology?

Since March 2020, the Cameroonian government implemented nationwide measures to stall COVID-19 transmission. However, little is known about how well these unprecedented measures are being observed as the pandemic evolves. We conducted a six-month online survey to assess the preventive behaviour of Cameroonian adults during the COVID-19 outbreak. A five-point adherence score was constructed based on self-reported observance of the following preventive measures: physical distancing, face mask use, hand hygiene, not touching one’s face, and covering the mouth ...

Overview of MRI for pulmonary functional imaging.
Abstract
Morphological evaluation of the lung is important in the clinical evaluation of pulmonary diseases. However, the disease process, especially in its early phases, may primarily result in changes in pulmonary function without changing the pulmonary structure. In such cases, the traditional imaging approaches to pulmonary morphology may not provide sufficient insight into the underlying pathophysiology. Pulmonary imaging community has therefore tried to assess pulmonary diseases and functions utilizing not only nuclear medicine, but also CT and MR imaging with various technical approaches. In this re...

Health Care Is a Right, Not a Privilege
Two fundamental questions about health care in the US remain unanswered: is health care a right or a privilege and, relatedly, is the US committed to ensuring that every individual has access to some form of health insurance like in every other modern high-resource country. President Obama, despite the success of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in increasing the number of individuals with health insurance in this country, seldom addressed this issue directly, even in a wide-ranging special communication in JAMA. President Trump has done little with respect to increasing the number of individuals with insurance; instead, his ...

2020: What Should Have Been Our Year
Coronavirus 2020. Honestly, this whole editorial can end with that sentence alone. It can be added to the repertoire of the “where were you” questions: where were you when JFK and MLK Jr were assassinated, when the flights crashed on 9/11, and when Obama became elected as the first African American President of the United States. An endless stream of memories begin from the moment COVID-19 was first widely reported i n the global arena in January 2020, although it actually started in late winter 2019 in Wuhan, China.
