The book addresses the challenge of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) by emphasizing the transformative role of electronic health information systems (eHIS). It highlights the limitations of traditional paper-based systems and showcases Mozambique's mHealth system based on DHIS2 as a case study. Readers will learn how eHealth enhances decision-making, optimizes resource allocation, and improves disease control efforts. Offering a practical roadmap, it illustrates how technology can significantly impact the NTD sector and elevate healthcare standards in Africa.

Ocean modeling has long been constrained by rigid computer simulations that fail to capture the ocean's complexity. Limitations in computational power and the need for simplifications lead to significant blind spots, preventing accurate representations of currents, wave interactions, and marine ecosystems. This rigidity can result in inaccuracies in predicting critical phenomena such as storm surges and climate change effects. Acknowledging these constraints is vital for advancing oceanography, as improved computing and data integration can help create more sophisticated models that reflect the dynamic nature of the ocean.

The book explores depression as a widespread global issue affecting approximately 280 million individuals, disrupting various aspects of life, including work and relationships. It highlights the complex causes, including social, economic, and biological factors, and notes the disproportionate impact on women and specific age groups. Despite available treatments, access remains limited, especially in developing nations, compounded by stigma. The author advocates for improved access to mental healthcare and the dismantling of stigma to foster a supportive environment for recovery and well-being.

Postnatal brain development is a dynamic process shaped by experiences that influence learning, memory, and emotional intelligence. The book explores brain plasticity, emphasizing critical periods for language acquisition and executive function refinement. It highlights the significance of environmental enrichment, sensory stimulation, and positive interactions in nurturing young minds. Aimed at parents and educators, it provides insights and tools to foster optimal brain development, ultimately unlocking a child's full potential for lifelong learning and well-being.

The book investigates the effects of halothane and other anesthetics on cellular respiration, revealing how these substances disrupt energy generation at the cellular level. It details the mechanisms behind this disruption and its implications for various tissues. Additionally, the narrative highlights ongoing research aimed at creating safer anesthetics with fewer cellular side effects. By connecting the realms of medicine and cellular biology, it provides an intriguing look into the complex interactions that occur within our bodies during anesthesia.

The book addresses the critical challenge of achieving economic growth while ensuring environmental sustainability. It emphasizes the need for a dual strategy: investing in renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, alongside enhancing energy efficiency through innovations like smarter buildings and appliances. By balancing these elements, the book argues that it is possible to foster economic progress without compromising the health of the planet, ultimately aiming for a sustainable future for generations to come.
