Summary: This study is a systematic review of the effects of inadequate housing on tuberculosis (TB). The findings indicate that the steps in TB development and their consequences are more strongly associated with housing affordability rather than housing quality. Therefore, public health interventions targeting housing affordability should be diverse, and interventions to support affordable housing for residents of inadequate housing and the homeless should be pursued simultaneously to improve housing quality.

Summary: This study identifies and quantifies the association of race/ethnicity, sex, and income with state-specific lockdown measures and their impact on well-being dimensions in the United States. African American and Hispanic individuals, women, and households with low income had higher odds of experiencing adverse outcomes related to COVID-19 pandemic. Neglecting existing risk distributions may exacerbate inequities based on race/ethnicity, sex, and income.

Summary: Optimal medical management of heart failure improves patients' quality of life and reduces mortality and hospitalizations. However, the cost of HF medications, especially angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, may result in suboptimal adherence. Patients' experiences with the cost of HF medications include financial burden, financial strain, and financial toxicity. Strategies to reduce HF-associated financial toxicity include systemic changes, shared decision-making, policies to lower drug costs, expanded insurance coverage, and financial navigation services and discount programs. Clinicians can also improve patients' financial well-being through various strategies in routine care.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the global prevalence of gingival recession (GR) in the general population. A total of 15 studies involving 37,460 participants were included. The overall pooled prevalence was found to be 78.16% at the minimal reported threshold values. The overall certainty of the evidence was assessed to be very low. More standardized studies with less heterogeneity are needed to accurately estimate the prevalence of GR.

Summary: Research findings show that households experiencing foreclosure tend to move to higher quality locations, with some locations being worse than random choices. Factors such as local labor market conditions, local composition effects, and state foreclosure institutions play significant roles in determining relocation outcomes. Individuals who move to other counties typically relocate to areas with higher incomes.

Summary: A systematic literature review on the causes of aggression among group-housed male mice revealed significant variations in study methods and designs, leading to inconsistent results. Nonetheless, the study suggested that studying home cage aggression in home cage environments, rather than introducing unfamiliar mice in a novel environment, is more suitable. Additionally, addressing aggression requires customized solutions as it is a complex problem.

Summary: In 2014, the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau implemented regulations to delay foreclosures until borrowers were at least 120 days delinquent, which resulted in a decrease in foreclosure rates and an increase in borrower recovery within three years. The minimum delinquency requirement played a significant role in these outcomes.

Summary: The available literature synthesis suggests an association between the arachidonic acid (AA) pathway and male fertility based on in vivo animal studies and human clinical trials. PGE is significantly reduced in the semen of infertile men, indicating the potential of PGE agonists to improve male fertility. Interestingly, ibuprofen can negatively affect male fertility by inducing alterations in sperm function and standard semen parameters. Targeting the AA pathways could be an attractive strategy for the treatment of male fertility.

Summary: This study suggests that curiosity can be a useful tool in increasing demand for and engagement with aversive health information. By manipulating curiosity through various methods, researchers found that participants were more likely to view and engage with information about their drinking habits, cancer risk, and the sugar content in drinks. Overall, curiosity prompts provide a simple and effective way to increase engagement with aversive health information.

Summary: This paper examines the contribution of pilot implementation studies to the wider spread and sustainability of innovation in healthcare systems. Through an empirical examination of an innovation intermediary organization in the English NHS, the study finds that their work in mobilizing pilot-based evidence involves configuring to context, transitioning evidence, and managing the transition. The findings contribute to theory by showing how intermediary roles can support the effective transitioning of pilot-based evidence, leading to more widespread adoption and sustainability of innovation.
