    Abstract Northeast India is a multifaceted and dynamic region that is constantly in focus because of its fragile political landscape characterized by endemic violence and conflicts. One of the first of its kind, this reader on Northeast India examines myriad aspects of the region - its people and its linguistic and cultural diversity. •The chapters here highlight the key issues confronted by the Northeast in recent times: its history, politics, economy, gender equations, migration, ethnicity, literature and traditional performative practices. •The book presents interlinkages between a range of socio-cultural issues and armed political violence while covering topics such as federalism, nationality, population, migration and social change. •It discusses debates on development with a view to comprehensive policies and state intervention. With its a nuanced and wide-ranging overview, this volume makes new contributions to understanding a region that is critical to the future of South Asian geopolitics. The book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of contemporary Northeast India as well as history, political science, area studies, international relations, sociology and social anthropology. It will also appeal to those interested in public administration, regional literature, cultural studies, population studies, development studies and economics

    Abstract Induction of labour is a two-step process involving cervical ripening and the initiation of uterine contractions, with the goal of achieving vaginal birth. To optimize the chance of a safe and timely vaginal birth, the process of induction of labour should be evidence based and individualized to the given person and situation. In this study, we lay out a framework for how this should be done, emphasizing on careful clinical assessment and planning, flexibility in the strategy of induction, patience during the ripening and latent phases of labour, and thoughtful consideration regarding changing the strategy if active labour is not initially achieved. The goal of this review is to present the current evidence on this topic in the form of a user-friendly protocol that can be easily adapted to institutional practice.

    Abstract Background: Many studies have reported interventions for women with vasa praevia to improve perinatal outcomes. However, which outcomes are important for women remains unclear.
    Aim: To explore what outcomes are important for women with lived experience of vasa praevia and why, in order to inform the development of a core outcome set for studies on vasa praevia.
    Methods: An international qualitative study was conducted with women and clinicians. Semi-structured interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analysed taking an inductive approach.
    Findings: Eighteen women and six clinicians (four obstetricians, two midwives) from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia were interviewed. Participants identified 47 patient-important outcomes and experience measures, which were grouped under five themes: baby's survival and health, mother's physical health, mother's mental and emotional health, quality of health care delivery, and resource use and cost. While survival of the baby without short- and long-term morbidity remained the main priority, other important considerations included the physical, mental, social and financial wellbeing of families, future access to antenatal screening and diagnosis, information on management options and consequences, continuity of care, clear and effective communication, peer support and the appreciation of individual variations to risk tolerance, values and resource availability.
    Conclusion: We have identified patient-important outcomes and experience measures that have been directly fed into the development of a core outcome set on vasa previa. Incorporating these considerations into both clinical practice and future research studies has the potential to improve outcomes and experiences for women with vasa praevia.

    Abstract Background: Short-term temperature variability, defined as the temperature range occurring within a short time span at a given location, appears to be increasing with climate change. Such variation in temperature may influence acute health outcomes, especially cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Most research on temperature variability has focused on the impact of within-day diurnal temperature range, but temperature variability over a period of a few days may also be health-relevant through its impact on thermoregulation and autonomic cardiac functioning. To address this research gap, this study utilized a database of emergency department (ED) visits for a variety of cardiovascular health outcomes over a 27-year period to investigate the influence of three-day temperature variability on CVD.
    Methods: For the period of 1993-2019, we analyzed over 12 million CVD ED visits in Atlanta using a Poisson log-linear model with overdispersion. Temperature variability was defined as the standard deviation of the minimum and maximum temperatures during the current day and the previous two days. We controlled for mean temperature, dew point temperature, long-term time trends, federal holidays, and day of week. We stratified the analysis by age group, season, and decade.
    Results: All cardiovascular outcomes assessed, except for hypertension, were positively associated with increasing temperature variability, with the strongest effects observed for stroke and peripheral vascular disease. In stratified analyses, adverse associations with temperature variability were consistently highest in the moderate-temperature season (October and March-May) and in the 65 + age group for all outcomes.
    Conclusions: Our results suggest that CVD morbidity is impacted by short-term temperature variability, and that patients aged 65 and older are at increased risk. These effects were more pronounced in the moderate-temperature season and are likely driven by the Spring season in Atlanta. Public health practitioners and patient care providers can use this knowledge to better prepare patients during seasons with high temperature variability or ahead of large shifts in temperature.
