5-Aminolevulinic Acid-Guided Glioma Resection During Awake Craniotomy: Systematic Review of Functional Safety and Oncologic Benefit

This systematic review of 108 patients across 10 studies concludes that 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-guided resection during awake craniotomy is a feasible and functionally safe technique that enhances tumor visualization and supports maximal safe resection in eloquent regions, particularly for high-grade gliomas, without increasing permanent neurological morbidity.

The influence of music on technical skill in robotic surgery among general surgery residents: a simulation-based experimental study

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.

Comparison of parasitological, serological and molecular diagnostic methods for schistosomiasis japonica: insights into the detection of light infections

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.

Seroprevalence for Rift Valley Fever Virus and Associated Risk Factors in Cattle Slaughtered in Major Abattoirs of Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria

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.

Imaging biomarkers for early detection, monitoring, and prediction of treatment- related side effects after radiotherapy: A scoping review

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.

Co-designing Integrated HIV, Mental Health and Gender-Based Violence Services: A Scoping Review of Participatory Approaches in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

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.

Direct correlation of intravoxel incoherent motion imaging based on implicit neural representations and histopathology in pediatric Wilms’ tumors: can it differentiate between subtypes?

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.

Transacromial loop plate versus clavicular hook plate for acute Rockwood type III–V acromioclavicular joint dislocation: a retrospective comparative study

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.
