This study of Korean adults demonstrates that self-reported oral health measures have poor standalone validity for diagnosing periodontitis under both CDC/AAP and EFP/AAP case definitions, as they primarily reflect perceived inflammation rather than cumulative periodontal destruction.
This study proposes a Genetic Algorithm-based Voting ensemble learning model (GA-Voting) that integrates power spectral density, fuzzy entropy, and phase lag index features from resting-state EEG data to achieve highly accurate (99.55%) diagnosis of schizophrenia while offering new insights into its underlying neurobiological mechanisms.
This study demonstrates that scaling up Village Health Leader–led community interventions in underserved Ethiopian agrarian and pastoralist settings is a feasible, safe, and effective strategy that significantly improves maternal and newborn health outcomes, including increased facility deliveries, reduced postpartum hemorrhage, and higher uptake of essential commodities like misoprostol and family planning.
This study demonstrates that intranasal administration of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes engineered to deliver miR-22-3p alleviates depression-like behaviors in a rat model by inhibiting the FURIN/HMGB1 axis, thereby reducing neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis.
This contemporary study validates Hekal's "5-Not's" criteria as a reliable, high-specificity framework for identifying ideal candidates for stentless endoscopic urinary stone management, demonstrating that while the criteria effectively confirm suitability for stent-free recovery, they should not be used as an exclusive screening tool to rule out patients who fail to meet all five conditions.
This study validates a reliable and effective 10-item Spanish brief version of the Detail and Flexibility Questionnaire (DFlex) for assessing cognitive rigidity and attention to detail in individuals with eating disorders and the general population.
This multicenter observational study of 590 sarcoidosis patients reveals that those presenting with restrictive pulmonary function patterns at diagnosis exhibit more advanced radiological stages, lower DLCO values, and higher treatment needs compared to those with normal or obstructive patterns, suggesting a more severe disease course requiring closer monitoring.
This study utilizes Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models and Random Forest algorithms on World Bank data to identify agricultural water withdrawal and access to basic drinking water as the most critical, consistent determinants of childhood wasting in West Africa, recommending targeted water management and infrastructure improvements to mitigate the issue.
This multicenter randomized clinical trial found that while an innovative outpatient palliative care day hospital model did not improve overall health-related quality of life compared to traditional clinics, it significantly reduced depression symptoms in patients with advanced cancer.
This study of 384 food handlers in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, reveals that while food safety knowledge, attitudes, and practices are generally moderate to good, the overall hygienic status of food establishments is poor, highlighting a critical need for enhanced monitoring and comprehensive training programs to improve compliance.
