Although food taboos, cultural beliefs, and food fallacies are highly prevalent among adolescent girls in Sokoto, Nigeria, this study found they do not significantly influence BMI-for-age, which instead is determined by age and education levels while revealing a double burden of malnutrition concentrated in early adolescence.
While Cambodia has achieved substantial national progress toward HIV epidemic control with high treatment coverage and declining incidence, significant residual transmission persists due to inequities affecting key populations, children, and specific provinces, necessitating targeted, equity-focused strategies to ensure fully equitable control by 2030.
This paper introduces POROS, an auditable, evidence-derived framework that quantifies translational risk across rare diseases using a machine-learning model to generate a Translation Risk Score, which strongly predicts Phase III trial advancement and helps identify critical evidence gaps in drug development.
This qualitative multi-stakeholder study reveals that gender composition in psychiatric wards is a complex, context-dependent issue requiring a shift from uniform policies to individualized, trauma-informed approaches that balance safety concerns with the therapeutic benefits of mixed-gender environments.
This retrospective cohort study of 232 patients demonstrates that the presence of autoimmune features, whether as autoantibody positivity without a defined systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease or as a confirmed SARD, is an independent risk factor for significantly worse transplant-free survival in bronchiectasis-associated pulmonary hypertension.
This study demonstrates that patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) exhibit delayed and attenuated platelet inhibition in response to enteral ticagrelor compared to conventionally resuscitated cardiac arrest patients, despite a concurrent trend toward increased bleeding risk.
This study demonstrates that social influence, specifically subjective norms, drives the actual uptake of genetic testing by sequentially enhancing social acceptability and behavioral intentions, highlighting the need for implementation strategies that address social legitimacy alongside service accessibility.
This cross-sectional study of 356 Slovak participants reveals that community screening effectively uncovers a significant hidden burden of hypertension and dysglycaemia, with age and male sex identified as key independent predictors for these conditions.
In a multicenter real-world study of 90 relapsed/refractory CLL patients, fixed-duration venetoclax–rituximab demonstrated durable disease control with high response rates, although prior BTK inhibitor exposure, TP53 disruption, and the absence of undetectable measurable residual disease were identified as key factors associated with inferior progression-free survival.
A post hoc analysis of the ANDROMEDA-SHOCK-2 trial demonstrates that capillary refill time–guided personalized hemodynamic resuscitation yields consistent and significant benefits for patients with early septic shock in both low- and high-income countries, despite marked differences in baseline severity and resuscitation practices.
