This cross-sectional study of reproductive-aged women in Lebanon reveals substantial gaps in knowledge and practice regarding uterine adenomyosis, despite generally favorable attitudes, highlighting the urgent need for targeted educational initiatives to improve symptom recognition and healthcare-seeking behaviors.
This in vitro study demonstrates that while resin coatings (EQUIA Forte Coat and G-COAT PLUS) significantly mitigate surface deterioration and enhance the flexural strength of high-viscosity glass ionomer cement compared to uncoated specimens under thermocycling, they do not completely prevent property changes or color shifts after prolonged thermal ageing.
This multicentre cross-sectional study of Nigerian undergraduates reveals that proximity to National Health Insurance Scheme-accredited facilities does not significantly influence formal health-seeking behaviour, as students prioritize service efficiency, perceived quality, and accessibility over physical distance or nominal insurance coverage.
Although individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain maintain subjective workload ratings and behavioral performance comparable to healthy controls during increasing cognitive demands, they exhibit significantly greater facial muscle activation, suggesting that achieving similar performance levels requires higher physiological effort in this population.
This retrospective cohort study of 117 women in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, identifies that the absence of a previous vaginal birth, an unfavorable Bishop score, and a birth weight exceeding the previous neonate by over 400 grams are the primary determinants of failed trial of labor after cesarean, with the latter being the strongest predictor of emergency cesarean section.
This retrospective study of 26 elderly glioblastoma patients suggests that maintaining walking ability, shorter rehabilitation duration, and specific cognitive profiles are key factors associated with successful discharge to home, whereas parietal lobe involvement correlates with transfer to other facilities.
The prospective CARE-BOOST study demonstrates that a Fundamentals of Care-oriented Case Management pathway for breast cancer surgery effectively identifies and resolves nearly all nursing needs across the perioperative trajectory, resulting in high rates of home discharge without unplanned healthcare utilization.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of detecting nurse stress in real-world settings by integrating self-reported, physiological, and organizational data, showing that a multimodal machine learning approach significantly outperforms models relying solely on physiological signals.
This psychometric study validates the 13-item Systematic Nutritional Clinical Assessment (SyNCA) as a reliable and unidimensional tool with strong internal structure and good external validity for assessing malnutrition in individuals undergoing cancer care.
This multi-ethnic cross-sectional study of young adults in London found that even at low exposure levels, higher blood lead concentrations are associated with obstructive lung function impairment and increased arterial stiffness, whereas no convincing evidence linked cadmium or arsenic to these specific outcomes.
