This cross-sectional study in Malawi reveals that the dramatic post-programme collapse of tippy-tap handwashing technology was driven not by knowledge deficits but by household labor constraints, specifically the presence of young children and smaller household sizes, suggesting that future interventions should prioritize maintenance support for these vulnerable groups over repeated sensitization.
This cross-sectional study of 377 postgraduate students at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences in Tanzania found that nearly 24% experienced probable depression, with financial difficulties, physical inactivity, alcohol consumption, and low social support identified as significant independent risk factors.
This study utilizes a multilevel intersectional analysis of Brazilian medical students to demonstrate that mistreatment prevalence varies significantly across training stages and is dynamically shaped by the intersection of social identities, particularly affecting LGBTQ+ students and revealing shifting racial disparities between basic and clinical phases.
This study demonstrates that a synergistic combination of nitazoxanide and pentoxifylline effectively reduces *Leishmania tropica* viability in human U937 macrophages while significantly upregulating iNOS gene expression and nitrite release, offering a promising alternative to current monotherapies for cutaneous leishmaniasis.
This quasi-experimental study demonstrates that a caregiver-supported transition care model significantly improves knowledge and satisfaction while reducing readmission rates for children transitioning from pediatric intensive care to general wards or home.
This study analyzes 2023 US treatment data to reveal that opioid use disorder episodes involving co-occurring mental health disorders are characterized by distinct client demographics, higher rates of polysubstance use, and shorter treatment durations compared to those without such disorders, underscoring the need for integrated mental health and discharge support in medication treatment programs.
This international multicentre study demonstrates that applying a standardized consensus definition to postoperative urinary tract infections following water vapor thermal therapy reveals a true infection rate of 10%, significantly lower than the 21% of clinically suspected cases, thereby highlighting the importance of standardized criteria for accurate reporting and antibiotic stewardship.
This study of 400 patients at Al-Thawra General Hospital in Yemen reveals a significant gap between moderate stroke knowledge and poor preventive practices, identifying marriage as a positive predictor of knowledge while khat chewing and smoking significantly hinder both awareness and healthy behaviors.
This study found that striatal tissue iron, measured via nT2*-weighted MRI, is significantly lower in depressed individuals compared to healthy controls and serves as a reliable, stable biomarker for distinguishing MDD, although it was not associated with baseline symptom severity, reward learning, or short-term response to bupropion treatment.
