This study of 330 women in Nakuru City, Kenya, reveals that while personal hygiene knowledge is adequate, menstrual waste disposal is predominantly high-risk due to infrastructural deficits, and the adoption of sustainable alternatives is hindered by low awareness, cultural taboos, and negative attitudes toward reusable products.
This prospective cohort study conducted in Georgia demonstrates that prenatal maternal stress, characterized by elevated salivary cortisol levels, is significantly associated with poorer physical growth and lower neurodevelopmental scores in infants during their first year of life.
This national repeated cross-sectional study of Korea from 1998 to 2024 reveals a mixed nutrition transition characterized by reduced carbohydrate and sodium intake but a concerning shift toward higher fat consumption, decreased fruit and vegetable adequacy, and persistent micronutrient vulnerabilities, underscoring the need for policies that prioritize overall dietary quality beyond simple energy balance or sodium reduction.
A population-based cohort study in Western Australia reveals that mothers with psychotic illness face a significantly elevated risk (approximately 12 times higher) of assault-related hospitalization compared to those without mental illness, underscoring the critical need for routine violence screening and trauma-informed care in perinatal and psychiatric services.
This study demonstrates that performing conservative tangential excision combined with xenogeneic dermal grafting within 12 to 24 hours post-burn for extensive critical burns effectively maintains hemodynamic stability, reduces fluid resuscitation needs and systemic inflammation, and improves clinical outcomes by lowering infection rates, surgical requirements, and hospital stay duration.
This retrospective study of 104 invasive lobular carcinoma cases reveals that neoadjuvant systemic therapy yields limited pathological response and fails to significantly increase breast-conserving treatment rates compared to primary surgery, highlighting the challenges of managing ILC's distinct biological features.
This cross-sectional study of over 52,000 Chinese women demonstrates that higher TyG index and TG/HDL-C ratio levels are independently and positively associated with hypertension, exhibiting non-linear dose-response relationships with identified clinical thresholds of TyG > 8.0 and TG/HDL-C > 1.4 that could serve as effective, low-cost screening tools for early risk identification.
This cross-sectional study developed and validated a feasible Intrinsic Capacity Index (ICI) based on the WHO ICOPE framework, demonstrating that lower ICI scores in community-dwelling older adults are significantly associated with adverse geriatric outcomes such as frailty, functional dependence, and polypharmacy.
This cross-sectional study of 365 medical undergraduates in Delhi NCR reveals that while students exhibit moderate knowledge, neutral attitudes, and growing engagement with AI tools like ChatGPT, significant gaps in formal training and practical competency persist, underscoring the urgent need for structured curricular integration of AI literacy and ethics in medical education.
This study developed a Multilayer Perceptron neural network model using MIMIC-IV data that outperforms logistic regression and XGBoost in predicting early sepsis-induced immunosuppression, achieving an AUC of 0.82 and identifying key risk factors to facilitate precision treatment.
