Pulse oximetry: why oxygen saturation is still not a part of standard pediatric guidelines in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs)

Maheen Sheikh et al.

Summary: With the high frequency of acute respiratory infections in children, especially in low-resource countries, the development of effective diagnostic support is crucial. However, many healthcare setups in these countries have not been able to implement pulse oximetry due to barriers such as cost, unavailability of oximeters, and lack of trained personnel. Incorporating pulse oximetry into WHO health guidelines could improve respiratory distress detection, but cooperation at national levels and focus on low-cost devices are needed to overcome these hurdles.

Smart Detecting and Versatile Wearable Electrical Sensing Mediums for Healthcare

Ahsan Ali et al.

Summary: The rapid growth of the global population, coupled with a significant aging population, has led to a substantial increase in healthcare costs. Advances in sensor technologies, embedded systems, wireless communication technologies, nanotechnologies, and miniaturization have enabled the development of wearable devices that can continuously monitor human activity and detect physiological signs. These wearable sensors provide a means of detecting and addressing health issues in real-time, potentially reducing the need for hospital visits. This study reviews wearable sensor-based activity-monitoring systems and explores the challenges and opportunities in the field of healthcare.

Abdul Haseeb et al.

Summary: The Hajj pilgrimage is a global event that can lead to the spread of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. Despite efforts to prevent and treat infectious diseases, the prevalence of such diseases among pilgrims remains high. The irrational use of antimicrobials, lack of infection prevention practices, and limited healthcare access contribute to the risk of antimicrobial resistance.

Mapping Health Disparities in 11 High-Income Nations

Neil J. MacKinnon et al.

Summary: This survey study aimed to describe geographic health disparities in 11 high-income countries. The results revealed health inequities across 10 health indicators based on geographic location, with varying degrees of disparities among different countries. The study suggests that policy makers in the US can learn from the experiences of Canada, Norway, and the Netherlands to improve geographic-based health equity.
