This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that a brief pre-test protocol combining slow-tempo music and paced breathing significantly reduces sleep-onset latency during diagnostic polysomnography for adults with suspected obstructive sleep apnea, without significantly altering other primary respiratory or sleep-architecture metrics.
This 2024 comparative study in Dessie City found that only 47.4% of nurses demonstrated good adherence to the code of ethics, with significantly higher adherence observed in private hospitals compared to governmental ones, and identified working in emergency units, graduation from government institutions, job satisfaction, supportive supervision, and adequate knowledge as key factors associated with better ethical adherence.
This systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 studies reveals that premature ejaculation prevalence varies significantly based on diagnostic criteria (ranging from 7.1% to 24.9%) and is associated with notably reduced coital frequency and shorter ejaculatory latency compared to controls.
This retrospective comparative study demonstrates that a novel advancement skin grafting technique significantly reduces donor-site healing time and improves scar quality and quality of life compared to conventional split-thickness skin grafting, offering a viable option for patients with abdominal skin laxity.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of expediting research on the comorbidity of diabetes and tuberculosis by cleaning, harmonizing, and pooling four diverse population-based datasets to create a shared data infrastructure with accompanying user guides and analytical code.
The small molecule inhibitor KVX-053 attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury and endothelial barrier dysfunction in mice and human cells by targeting PTP4A3 to disrupt STAT3 and NF-κB signaling pathways, thereby reducing inflammation and preserving pulmonary integrity.
This mixed-methods pilot study demonstrates that a VR-based training intervention with AI-driven assessment is feasible and well-accepted by health students for improving mental health literacy, revealing a significant gap between their strong empathic performance and low proficiency in specific health-literate communication techniques.
This case report describes the youngest documented patient with infantile calcifying pseudoneoplasm of the neuraxis (CAPNON) at the craniocervical junction, highlighting its atypical fluid-like gross appearance, aggressive presentation, and successful management through decompression and rigid immobilization without surgical fusion.
This paper reports three cases of recurrent urticarial hypersensitivity to biologic therapies for psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa, demonstrating that intradermal testing can confirm drug allergy, guide the discontinuation of culprit agents, and facilitate successful treatment switching to alternative biologics without further reactions.
This study demonstrates that in adults with FGF23-mediated hypophosphatemia, lumbar spine and hip bone mineral density Z-scores, along with trabecular bone score, provide excellent discriminatory accuracy for distinguishing X-linked hypophosphatemia from tumor-induced osteomalacia.
