The 2030 agenda for sustainable development is an opportunity governments and the international community to renew their commitment improving health as a central component of development. (1) accompanying 17 goals (SDGs) define priority areas action. (2) Goal 3 (to ensure healthy lives promote wellbeing all at ages), with Target 3.8 on universal coverage (UHC), emphasize importance people communities having access quality services without risking financial hardship. These include those...
Rectal carcinoids are often inadequately resected by snare excision during colonoscopy. Transanal endoscopic microsurgery is a minimally invasive procedure with low morbidity that offers full-thickness rate of negative margins. It presents an excellent alternative to radical surgery for mid and proximally located lesions. We report the largest United States (US) experience in use transanal rectal carcinoids.Data patients who had undergone were prospectively collected retrospectively...
### Summary box The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in terrible loss of life, disproportionately impacting the poor and those with underlying health conditions, devastating lives livelihoods as a consequence its effect on economic activity. Weak system responses, chronic longstanding underinvestment, inadequate policies to tackle root causes inequity that most affect living conditions vulnerability access needed social services have exacerbated problem. In addition, this confirmed precarious...
The COVID-19 pandemic, climate change-related events, protracted conflicts, economic stressors and other health challenges, call for strong public orientation leadership in system strengthening policies. Applying the essential functions (EPHFs) represents a holistic operational approach to health, which is considered be an integrated, sustainable, cost-effective means supporting universal coverage, security improved population wellbeing. As core component of Primary Health Care (PHC)...
This report presents the results of a consensus decision making process conducted to elaborate renewed conceptual framework essential public health functions for Americas. The emerging consists four pillars encompassing action-oriented components relating new scope and concerns health. call adopting human rights approach health, addressing social determinants ensuring access both individuals population-based services, expanding stewardship role authorities through collaborative...
To study the effects of reduced magnetic anisotropy on hysteresis loops hard magnets for possible use in self-biased microwave devices, a new family magnetically oriented (c-axis) In-substituted Ba ferrite was prepared by conventional ceramic techniques. Earlier studies BaFe12−x(In,Sc)xO19 series single-crystal form have shown that magnetization 4πM and field Hk decrease sharply with increasing x. Since optimum energy products require uniformly small grains (1 to 3 μm), sintering...
Moldable mixtures of paraffin wax and TiO2 powders (both rutile anatase) are easily prepared shown to have dielectric constants continuously variable between 2.25 7.5 for concentrations up 35% by volume. Comparison with theory suggests that neither powder has a spherical depolarizing factor, particularly in the case rutile. These composite materials very useful tailoring this range, applications requiring dielectric-filled parts.

An experiment to determine the durability of a 75 MgO/25 Au-cermet film secondary-emission cathode has been carried out over period 4000 h. A 2-keV electron beam 2 A/cm2 current density was applied single spot and secondary-electron-yield curve monitored at regular intervals. To changes in chemical composition, Auger analysis with same beam. Results these tests indicated decrease maximum yield from 8.4 3.7 corresponding increase first crossover energy 16 25 eV. Inspection relative...
