RESUMEN
In our rapidly evolving world, technology stands at the forefront, driving remarkable advancements across various sectors. One of the most notable changes is the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics in healthcare, starting a revolution that has the power to change women's health all over the world. Developed nations are already witnessing the benefits. However, a significant portion of the global population in underdeveloped regions is lagging behind, resulting in a noticeable disparity. This is particularly evident in women's healthcare, an area already facing global inequities. As we witness a digital revolution, we examine the progressive steps taken in women's healthcare. AI and robotics are key to this transformation. The services range from using data to predict cancer trends to tailor-made medicine and technologies in reproduction. This editorial addresses the existing gaps and the digital divide, exploring the necessity for an inclusive approach in technology design and implementation to ensure equitable healthcare access. Furthermore, it highlights the imperative role of multi-sectoral collaborations to foster innovation while mitigating risks. The clear goal is to build a future where all women, no matter where they live, can get good healthcare, helped by AI and robotics, bringing in a time of healthcare for all. It's crucial for everyone involved to come together to make a healthcare system that everyone can use, helping women everywhere with the help of new technology.
RESUMEN
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a disease that has caused a global impact. COVID-19 is transmitted through airborne droplets, respiratory secretions, and direct contact. The pandemic has affected individuals of different ages, and studying the impact of COVID-19 on maternal and newborn outcomes is critical. In this review, we highlight the impact of COVID-19 infection in pregnancy and its repercussion in the maternal-fetal binomial. Physiological changes that occur during pregnancy have significant effects on the immune system, cardiopulmonary system, and coagulation, and these changes can result in an altered response to COVID-19 infection. The symptoms, risk factors, and maternal health consequences of COVID-19 were discussed. In addition, the impact of newborns born to mothers with COVID-19 was reviewed. Finally, placental changes and vertical transmission of COVID-19 during pregnancy were also discussed in this review.
RESUMEN
The dynamic nature of coronavirus-19 (Covid-19) has caused a wreaked havoc globally, with millions of confirmed cases and deaths. Therefore, it is important to understand the psychological impact of the Covid-19 on the patients. In the present study, we examine whether intolerance of uncertainty was related to the severity of symptoms and whether this relationship is mediated by perception of illness and covid-19 fear. The study sample comprised of 98 Covid-19 patients (Mean = 35.17 SD = 12.89). Mediation analysis was conducted using the PROCESS macro for SPSS. Results of mediation analysis showed that the direct effect of intolerance of uncertainty on symptom severity was insignificant. However, the indirect effect via illness perception was significant, reflecting full mediation. The findings add knowledge to our understanding of the psychological consequences of Covid-19. The present study has implications for mental health services for patients with Covid-19, which will play a vital role in recovery from the illness.
RESUMEN
Prostate cancer (PCa) screening remains one of the most controversial topics in clinical and public health. Despite being the second most common cancer in men worldwide, recommendations for screening using prostate-specific antigen (PSA) are unclear. Early detection and the resulting postscreening treatment lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment of otherwise indolent cases. In addition, several unwanted harms are associated with PCa screening process. This literature review focuses on the limitations of PSA-specific PCa screening, reasons behind the screening controversy, and the novel biomarkers and advanced innovative methodologies that improve the limitations of traditional screening using PSA. With the verdict of whether or not to screen not yet unanimous, we hope to aid in resolution of the long-standing debate.
