Abstract Snakebite envenoming is an important cause of preventable death. The World Health Organization (WHO) set a goal to halve snakebite mortality by 2030. We used verbal autopsy and vital registration data model the proportion venomous animal deaths due snakes location, age, year, sex, applied these proportions contact estimates from Global Burden Disease 2019 study. In 2019, 63,400 people (95% uncertainty interval 38,900–78,600) died globally snakebites, which was equal age-standardized...
Background As global rates of mortality decrease, non-fatal injury have increased, particularly in low Socio-demographic Index (SDI) nations. We hypothesised this pattern would be demonstrated regard to bony hand and wrist trauma over the 27-year study period. Methods The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2017 was used estimate prevalence, age-standardised incidence years lived with disability for 195 countries from 1990 2017. Individual injuries included fractures, thumb...
Introduction Since the 2015 publication of The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, universal access to surgical care has emerged as a worldwide priority. Their landmark report highlighted sheer scale global burden, with an estimated 5 billion people without safe and 143 million essential operations not being performed every year in low- middle-income countries (LMICs)1. A lack adequately trained workforce was named major contributing factor this health issue1. According 2016 World Bank...
Abstract Venomous snakebite is an important cause of preventable death. The World Health Organization (WHO) set a goal to halve mortality by 2030.

In 2019, 63,400 people (95% uncertainty interval 38,900–78,600) died globally snakebites, which was equal age-standardized rate (ASMR)...
Objectives: The current medical school curriculum offers scant exposure to plastic surgery. Medical students and junior doctors are often inadequately prepared for in-hospital placements which may impact on patient safety quality of care. We aimed deliver a one-day “hands-on” practical session basic surgical skills principles in surgery, assess its effectiveness at improving confidence the specialty among trainees. Methods: covered knot tying, suturing, LA administration, skin lesion...
Background: Access to surgical care in low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs), especially war-torn areas such as the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), is a global health priority. The plastic capacity oPt has not been evaluated. This study provides first systematic evaluation of oPt. Methods: A cross-sectional conducted between December 2022 and February 2023 included facilities providing surgery services oPt, except private centers run by nonsurgeons. modified PIPES (personnel,...
BACKGROUND: Access to surgical care in low-to-middle-income countries (LMIC) especially war-torn and refugee-densely populated areas such as Palestine is increasingly recognized a global health priority. Plastic capacity has not been evaluated before the current published literature. The aim of this study was conduct first systematic, comprehensive, nationwide evaluation plastic Palestine. METHODS: This cross-sectional conducted between December 2022 February 2023 included all healthcare...

Recently, extensive scoping review...
