Expert stakeholders on the role of qualitative research in World Health Organisation guidelines
Qualitative research findings are sometimes used in guideline development, but usually in an ad hoc manner. We sought to explore how qualitative research could contribute to guideline development, identify examples of qualitative research being used to inform guideline development, and gather suggestions for how qualitative research might be incorporated more systematically in guideline development. Using a topic guide, in 2022–24, we interviewed…
Should all pregnant women take calcium supplements in Nepal? GRADE evidence to policy assessment
BACKGROUND: The WHO recommends oral calcium supplementation (1.5-2.0 g) in pregnant women to reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia living in areas with low dietary calcium intake. Although maternal mortality is high in Nepal and eclampsia causes at least 20% of maternal deaths, implementing WHO recommendations would be a major undertaking. OBJECTIVE: This review aimed to assess whether the current evidence supports the blanket supplementation of calci…

Los ensayos y tribulaciones de la biografía anglófona e hispana
Este artículo reflexiona sobre la evolución y el estado actual de la biografía anglófona, enfocándose en las tensiones inherentes y persistentes con respecto a su definición, valor y propósito, y su aceptación tardía dentro de la academia anglófona. También destaca la gran brecha entre la biografía anglófona y el alcance limitado, la práctica y la marginación académica de la biografía hispana
Historia patria and the construction of the mestizo nation in Porfirian Mexico
My contribution to the Special Edition seeks to examine two key aspects of the ideological underpinnings and cultural presumptions of the liberal project of state- and nation-building as interpreted by the elective dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz in Mexico (1876–80, 1884–1911), and its specific manifestation in the commemorative Fiestas del Centenario – the official celebration of the first centenary of Mexican independence from Spain – in Septembe…
El “Imperio informal” británico en América Latina
Este artículo presenta un breve repaso de la historiografía sobre el Imperio Británico en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Se concentra en tres perspectivas: dos que dominaron la historiografía sobre la expansión imperial británica durante la segunda mitad de siglo XX –los conceptos de “imperialismo informal” y de “capitalismo de caballeros”. La tercera es más reciente: la descripción del historiador británico John Darwin del Imperio Británico como…
Preventing malaria in international travellers
The methods used for developing guidelines for malaria prevention in travellers lags behind current internationally recognized standards. Healthcare professionals as well as travellers themselves could be better informed if guidelines were more systematic and transparent summaries of the current knowledge on drug interventions in relation to effects, safety, administration and contra-indications

Do existing research summaries on health systems match immunisation managers' needs in middle- and low-income countries? Analysis of Gavi health systems strengthening support
Relevant, high quality research summaries were found for few of the topics identified by managers. Few proposals used national surveys evidence to identify barriers to vaccination. Researchers generating or adapting evidence about health systems need to be more responsive to managers' needs. Use of available evidence from local or national surveys should be strongly encouraged

Quality of primary outpatient services in Dar-es-Salaam
This study aimed to test whether voluntary agencies provide care of better quality than that provided by government with respect to primary curative outpatient services in Dar-es-Salaam. All non-government primary services were included, and government primary facilities were randomly sampled within the three districts of the city. Details of consultations were recorded and assessed by a panel who classed consultations as adequate, inadequate but…
The Politics of National Development in Late Porfirian Mexico
Carrot and stick
The behavior of private sector health care providers will depend critically on the environment within which they operate. A bewildering array of possible regulatory and incentive setting structures exist. Most developing countries have the basic legislation for regulation, but there are frequently difficulties in enforcing such controls. While process aspects of quality of care regulation are often the responsibility of professional organizations…
Fertility and contraceptive use in poor urban areas of developing countries
The population in urban areas of developing countries continues to grow rapidly. Poor urban areas may have high growth rates through a number of mechanisms including continued migration, a youthful age structure, high age-specific fertility rates, and population movement. Fertility among the urban poor varies between and within cities, and is affected by many factors. Those with fertility-enhancing effects include decreases in breastfeeding and s…

Quality assessment of health facilities in rural Papua New Guinea
A cost study of rural health facilities in Papua New Guinea conducted in 1988 included assessment of the potential quality of each unit. A checklist of simple criteria was developed, measuring the level of care and the capability of the centre to perform certain health service tasks. This was used to provide an overall picture of how well rural health services in the country were running, and whether centres were reaching the level of performance…
Federalism and Caudillismo in the Mexican Revolution
On 3 June 1915 the state legislature of Oaxaca in southern Mexico issued a decree which proclaimed that the 'free and sovereign state of Oaxaca reassumes its sovereignty until such time as constitutional order is restored in the republic' (i.e. in accordance with the Constitution of 1857). Governor José Inés Dávila therefore declared that the executive and legislative branches of the state government would assume control and responsibility over t…
