Can a zero-shot time-series foundation model rival task-trained models for intraoperative hypotension prediction? A two-cohort benchmark and the role of covariate-awareness

This study demonstrates that zero-shot time-series foundation models, particularly TiRex-2, can rival task-trained baselines in predicting intraoperative hypotension across diverse cohorts, offering a portable alternative that maintains high accuracy without requiring site-specific training or drug-infusion covariates.

Conduction System versus Biventricular Pacing in Pacing-Induced Cardiomyopathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

This systematic review and meta-analysis of six observational studies involving 634 patients demonstrates that conduction system pacing (CSP) outperforms biventricular pacing (BVP) as a rescue strategy for pacing-induced cardiomyopathy by yielding superior echocardiographic, electrical, and clinical outcomes, though these findings require validation through randomized trials.

Mapping evidence on whole body vibration and lumbar stabilization exercises for postural control in individuals with flexible flatfeet: a scoping review

This scoping review maps existing evidence on whole body vibration and lumbar stabilization exercises for postural control, revealing that while these interventions show promise in related populations, no studies have yet specifically evaluated their effects, individually or combined, in individuals with flexible flatfeet.

Prognostic Features of Anti-Cancer Drugs Response in Resected/Unresected Primary Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study

This retrospective cohort study of 2,459 NSCLC patients identifies that low chemotherapy prescription frequency correlates with poor survival and non-response, while highlighting pre-chemotherapy leukocytosis as a negative prognostic factor and oral receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors as an effective alternative for non-responders.

High Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index as a Predictor of In-Hospital and 30-Day Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events among Patients with STEMI and NSTEMI Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Prospective Cohort Study

This prospective cohort study of 120 Indonesian patients undergoing PCI for STEMI or NSTEMI demonstrates that a high admission systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) independently predicts earlier in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events, though it does not significantly forecast 30-day post-discharge outcomes.

Leveraging a DHIS2 Based Ecosystem to Improve Health Data Management and Reporting: Innovations from the Monitoring, Reporting, and Evaluation (MORE-ZM) System in Zambia

Supported by the CDC, Zambia's MORE-ZM system transformed fragmented health data management by implementing a centralized DHIS2 ecosystem with automated reporting tools and real-time visualization, significantly reducing reporting times and enhancing data use across 1,584 facilities.

Effects of Different Carbohydrate Supplementation on Marathon for Amateur Runners: A Controlled Trial

This controlled trial involving amateur runners found that while high-carbohydrate supplementation (80 g/h) did not significantly reduce total marathon finish times compared to a moderate intake (50 g/h), it effectively delayed speed decline and improved pacing stability, particularly in sub-elite athletes, by maintaining glycemic stability during the race.

Strengthening the Patient Perspective in Quality Development: A Mixed-Methods Observational Study on Suitability of the PROMIS GH-10 in Swiss Inpatient Rehabilitation

This mixed-methods observational study demonstrates that the PROMIS GH-10 is a responsive and feasible tool for capturing patient-reported outcomes in Swiss inpatient rehabilitation, showing significant improvements in physical and mental health, though its nationwide implementation requires addressing barriers such as the time needed to assist patients and staff resource constraints.

3D MRI for monitoring spinal hemangioblastomas

This study demonstrates that contrast-enhanced 3D MRI detects more spinal hemangioblastomas, particularly small lesions, in von Hippel-Lindau patients compared to 2D imaging, supporting its potential for improved standardized surveillance and longitudinal monitoring despite slightly lower inter-reader agreement.
