This cross-sectional study of 401 women in Damascus hospitals reveals that obesity, PCOS, diabetes mellitus, and tobacco exposure are significantly associated with delayed conception, underscoring the need for integrated screening and lifestyle interventions in Syrian fertility care.
This comparative randomized mixed-methods study demonstrates that both Design Thinking and Focus Groups are effective methods for engaging Hispanic and Latino stakeholders in autism research, with Design Thinking offering distinct advantages in fostering mutual learning and co-developing actionable solutions.
This study of 37 boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy found that while cognitive functioning is independent of mutation location and ambulatory status, health-related quality of life is significantly lower in non-ambulatory patients, highlighting the need for multidisciplinary care to address functional limitations.
This study utilizes plasma lipidomics to identify specific lipid biomarkers, particularly LysoPC(16:0) and a four-lipid panel, which effectively predict recurrent ischemic stroke risk and reveal dysregulated glycerophospholipid and fatty acid metabolic pathways underlying the disease.
A 2024 cross-sectional survey in Uganda reveals that the national coverage of the second dose of the measles–rubella vaccine remains critically low at 32.0%, driven by significant regional disparities and influenced by factors such as birth order, household composition, age, and caregiver experiences with vaccine safety and service quality.
This qualitative study demonstrates that implementing a cross-organisational oral health randomised controlled trial in Swedish home care is feasible but critically depends on substantial organisational readiness, clear cross-sector coordination, and the adaptive strategies employed by frontline staff to navigate structural ambiguities and complex workflows.
This study evaluates the socio-technical barriers to Electronic Health Record implementation at a tertiary hospital in Iran, revealing that despite high user satisfaction and acceptance, inadequate training and organizational readiness remain the primary obstacles to successful deployment.
This retrospective study of 58 eyes with treatment-naive chronic central serous chorioretinopathy suggests that the presence of subretinal fluid at the 3-month follow-up after a single session of verteporfin photodynamic therapy predicts persistent fluid and the need for further treatment, as no eyes with initial fluid later achieved a dry macula.
This prospective study of 234 Turkish women with breast and gynecological cancers reveals that high levels of psychological distress, physical symptoms, and financial toxicity are significantly interrelated, underscoring the critical need for routine, holistic screening and multidisciplinary support to address these interconnected challenges.
This case report describes a 50-year-old man with an atypical presentation of Restless Legs Syndrome characterized by back-localized discomfort, urinary urgency, and generalized heat sensation, which showed complete relief with the dopamine agonist ropinirole but only partial improvement with acupressure mat therapy, suggesting distinct yet interacting neural mechanisms for somatosensory and autonomic symptoms within the RLS spectrum.
