Mashup Score: 31Support not stigma: redefining perinatal mental health care - 9 hour(s) ago
Historically, maternal mental health during the perinatal period, which spans from conception to 1 year after birth, is a neglected issue. Up to 85% of women experience so-called baby blues, characterised by symptoms such as prolonged bouts of crying, sadness, and anxiety. Globally, about 10% of pregnant women and 13% of women who have just given birth experience mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis, with higher prevalence observed in low- and middle-income countries. Death by suicide, which is strongly associated with mental health conditions, is a leading cause of mortality during the perinatal period in high-income countries, accounting for 5–20% of maternal deaths.

Mashup Score: 224Contribution of vaccination to improved survival and health: modelling 50 years of the Expanded Programme on Immunization - 1 day(s) ago
Since 1974 substantial gains in childhood survival have occurred in every global region. We estimate that EPI has provided the single greatest contribution to improved infant survival over the past 50 years. In the context of strengthening primary health care, our results show that equitable universal access to immunisation remains crucial to sustain health gains and continue to save future lives from preventable infectious mortality.

Mashup Score: 38Addressing labour exploitation in the global workforce - 2 day(s) ago
We applaud the 2023 Lancet Series on work and health for drawing attention to the under-recognised aspects of work that make it a fundamental social determinant of health inequalities. We particularly appreciate the Series authors’ attention to the low-wage workforce and their expressed concerns about precarity. At the same time, we must also be attuned to the widespread practice of labour exploitation, including extreme exploitation such as human trafficking and hazardous child labour. An estimated 21 million people are in trafficking, bonded, or slave labour situations.

Mashup Score: 35
The markedly elevated rate of death in the first week post-release underscores an urgent need for investment in evidence-based, coordinated transitional healthcare, including treatment for mental illness and substance use disorders to prevent post-release deaths due to suicide and overdose. Temporal variations in rates and causes of death highlight the need for routine monitoring of post-release mortality.

In patients with an acute coronary syndrome, intravascular ultrasound-guided implantation of contemporary drug-eluting stents resulted in a lower 1-year rate of the composite outcome of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or clinically driven revascularisation compared with angiography guidance alone.
