The role of chest X-ray in the diagnosis of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome: a systematic review concerning low-resource birth scenarios
CONCLUSION: CXR remains an important diagnostic tool for NRDS. Despite its continued use in scientific reports, the findings suggest that the study's outcomes may not fully reflect the current global clinical practices, especially in low-resource settings where the early NRDS approach remains a challenge for neonatal survival.Trial registration: PROSPERO number CRD42022336480.PMID:38660779 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2024.2338633 (Source: Global Health Action)

Care-seeking patterns and timely access to care among survivors of sexual violence in North Kivu, the Democratic Republic of the Congo: a retrospective file-based study
CONCLUSION: Access to timely health care for survivors of sexual violence in North Kivu, DRC, is challenging and varies between different groups of survivors. Providers responding to survivors of sexual violence need to adapt models of care and awareness raising strategies to ensure that programmes are developed to enable timely access to care for all survivors. More research is needed to further understand the barriers and enablers to access timely care for different groups of survivors.PMID:38660982 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2024.2336708 (Source: Global Health Action)

No evidence, no problem? A critical interpretive synthesis of the vulnerabilities to and experiences of sexual violence among young migrants in Europe
CONCLUSION: The scarcity of research regarding sexual violence among young migrants in Europe could give rise to the perception that no evidence means no problem, resulting in a continued lack of attention to this issue. There is a critical need to address this gap to inform prevention interventions, to identify victims, and to facilitate access to care.PMID:38651216 | PMC:PMC11041515 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2024.2340114 (Source: Global Health Action)

Association between breastfeeding duration and educational attainment in rural Southwest Uganda: a population-based cohort study
CONCLUSION: Although we found no association between breastfeeding duration and educational attainment, breastfeeding remains important for children's health and nutrition, and mothers should be encouraged and supported to breastfeed for the recommended duration.PMID:38652548 | PMC:PMC11041517 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2024.2338023 (Source: Global Health Action)
