... It is essential to receive updated and accurate information from international authorities like the World Health Organization (WHO). Additionally, implementing coherent response strategies, restoring and extending a second line of preventive measures, maintaining a united front, and embracing the One Health concept, along with providing financial support for prevention and response at various levels, are all crucial [71][72][73][74]. The legal definition of pandemics, such as COVID-19, has become a topic of national discussion in several countries. ...

... Our study showed the neighbor's behaviors were significantly associated with the psychological effects on the home isolation patient. Many other research also showed that socio-psychological and mental trauma are associated with COVID-19 in lockdown condition [5,11,[21][22][23][24][25][26]. ...

... Gachoud et al. (2012) found a distinct hierarchy of person-centredness among professions, with nurses the most responsible, and medical officers inclined to accept a lower position on delivering such care. In addition, most medical models, particularly general practice and specialist care, are disease-centric, rather than person-centric, due to the business models which dictate billing (Whitty et al., 2020;John et al., 2020). Indeed, modern healthcare is built on the principles of new public management: a neo-liberal ethos that attempts to run public services with private business ideals including economic principles of productivity and efficiency. ...

... [12][13][14] In response, many South Asian doctors openly depict their own accounts of migrating to the UK and building a career for themselves in an attempt to raise awareness, 15 16 and public exhibitions celebrate the contributions that migrant IMGs have made and continue to make. 17 Despite these positive efforts, racism within the NHS remains a continued source of injustice and inequity in contemporary medical education. Looking more broadly at all IMGs within the UK, India and Pakistan were the top two countries for all IMG joiners in 2021 18 20 This importantly links discrimination against IMGs with impact on medical education. ...

... 25 The effects of COVID-19 are likely to provide ongoing challenges to healthcare provision beyond this acute phase. Even though the expansion of companies providing remote consultation platforms has been increasing since 2018, 26 more work and infrastructure changes may be needed. The aim of this would be to make up for the deficit in patient care as a result of COVID-19 and to be able to implement remote consultations as a more permanent fixture in the patient review algorithm in hospitals worldwide. ...

The mechanism underlying the effectiveness of exercise on sleep outcomes includes thermoregulation, cytokine elevation, endorphin release and neurochemical changes. 38,39 Exercise also reverses the sleep deprivation-induced decreased release of growth hormone. 38 The benefits of exercise intervention for sleep problems have been confirmed in different populations. ...

... Furthermore, one of the criticisms towards models of behavioural change such as the COM-B model is that they focus primarily on the individual and offer a limited (if at all) understanding of the systemic factors that may influence certain behaviours (Nguyen-Trung et al., 2023), especially in relation to "wicked" problems such as AP. The term "wicked" refers to complex problems (Holgate & Stokes-Lampard, 2017;Kreuter et al., 2004) that are caused by multiple interconnecting factors and that lack straightforward simple solutions (Kossoff & Irwin, 2021;Nguyen-Trung et al., 2023;Rittel & Webber, 1973). Addressing wicked problems requires a combination of solutions across individual, social and infrastructural levels in order to promote both individual and contextual opportunities (Nguyen-Trung et al., 2023). ...

... In the quest for alternative therapies, exercise has been commonly advocated. There are biological, psychological, and psychosocial explanations of why exercise may potentially be an effective treatment option for vasomotor symptoms [12], and some supporting evidence for a positive impact on many symptoms and health conditions typically associated with menopausal transition exists [13][14][15]. For example, exercise may help to stabilise the thermoregulatory centre of the brain through beta-endorphin production and contribute towards the improvement of mental wellbeing, sense of achievement and self-esteem. ...
