This simulation-based study involving 32 general surgery residents found that listening to self-selected music did not significantly improve technical performance during early robotic surgery training, despite the protocol's feasibility and evidence of learning effects over time.
This study evaluated five diagnostic methods for *Schistosoma japonicum* in the Philippines, finding that while serological assays and molecular tests offer high sensitivity for detecting light infections, the Kato–Katz technique demonstrated the best overall discriminatory performance, highlighting that the optimal diagnostic tool depends on balancing accuracy with operational constraints like cost and field applicability.
This study of 300 displaced children in Sudan reveals a 42.7% prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections, with *Giardia lamblia* being the most common pathogen and younger age and lower family education identified as significant risk factors.
This study reveals a low (1.1%) seroprevalence of Rift Valley Fever virus in cattle slaughtered in Abuja, Nigeria, while highlighting critical gaps in abattoir workers' knowledge and widespread risky practices that necessitate enhanced surveillance and targeted educational interventions to mitigate zoonotic transmission.
This scoping review of 102 studies reveals that despite growing research interest, imaging biomarkers for predicting and monitoring radiotherapy-induced side effects remain almost entirely investigational due to a lack of rigorous external validation, methodological standardization, and regulatory approval, highlighting a significant gap between translational research and clinical implementation.
This scoping review of 16 reports from low- and middle-income countries finds that while participatory approaches effectively shape the design and delivery of integrated HIV, mental health, and gender-based violence services to better meet local needs, the specific impact of these approaches on health outcomes remains unclear and requires further investigation.
This study demonstrates that intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MRI parameters, specifically the pseudodiffusion coefficient (D*) estimated via implicit neural representations and directly correlated with histopathology using 3D-printed guides, can effectively differentiate between stromal and other subtypes of pediatric Wilms' tumors, outperforming conventional apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) metrics.
This retrospective study of Peru's EsSalud system found that while teleconsultations were associated with a significantly lower adjusted use of CT scans compared to in-person care, the proportion of pathological imaging findings remained similar between the two pathways.
This retrospective comparative study demonstrates that transacromial loop plate fixation offers superior clinical outcomes, better maintenance of reduction, fewer complications, and eliminates the need for routine secondary hardware removal compared to the traditional clavicular hook plate for acute high-grade acromioclavicular joint dislocations.
This prospective study validates the DDiVAT smart TV application as a reliable and accurate alternative to the standard ETDRS chart for measuring distance visual acuity in the Bulgarian-speaking population, demonstrating excellent agreement and test-retest reliability while offering a solution to geographic barriers in eye care access.
