This study analyzes 2013–2024 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey data to reveal that while facility-based deliveries increased slightly, progress has stalled since 2018 and is hindered by persistent, stark geographic and socioeconomic disparities, necessitating targeted interventions in underserved regions.
This document-based case study analyzes three episodes from the 2021 Fujian COVID-19 outbreak through the "Administrative Primacy" framework, illustrating how an overemphasis on administrative performance metrics may have conflicted with clinical ethics, occupational safety norms, and institutional transparency during the emergency response.
This case report demonstrates that a multimodal airway strategy combining laryngeal mask ventilation, staged distal tracheal intubation, and high-flow apneic oxygenation successfully enabled safe emergency tracheal resection and reconstruction in a patient with critical tumor-induced airway obstruction.
This 11-year retrospective analysis of 363 occupational percutaneous injuries in a tertiary stomatological hospital reveals that needlestick and sharps injuries possess distinct epidemiological profiles, with needlestick risks significantly elevated in oral surgery and implantology among younger staff, students, and nurses, thereby necessitating targeted, specialty-specific prevention strategies.
A multicenter survey of Chinese radiation therapists reveals a significant gap between their high subjective confidence and low objective knowledge regarding pelvic organ preparation for endometrial cancer radiotherapy, highlighting an urgent need for high-quality, hands-on training focused on bladder and rectal management rather than mere exposure to existing curricula.
This qualitative study of 14 colorectal ostomy patient-caregiver dyads in China reveals that family adaptation is a multidimensional, dynamic process shaped by divergent stress perceptions and culturally rooted beliefs, highlighting the need for whole-family, stratified continuing care interventions.
This 2024 cross-sectional study in Argo, Northern Sudan, reveals that the 2023 armed conflict has driven a scabies outbreak among displaced populations, where overcrowding, poor water and sanitation, and financial instability independently predict household transmission and delayed care-seeking, necessitating urgent targeted interventions.
This study demonstrates that while transcarotid access for transcatheter aortic valve replacement offers advantages over transthoracic access by reducing postoperative atrial fibrillation and shortening hospital stays, both approaches yield comparable short- and mid-term survival rates.
This retrospective cohort study of 74 eyes from Saudi Arabia demonstrates that cataract surgery in eyes previously treated for retinoblastoma significantly improves visual outcomes for over one-third of patients, though it carries a 50% complication rate and necessitates lifelong monitoring for tumor recurrence and adverse events.
This study evaluates the 2025 Identify, Enumerate and Vaccinate (IEV) exercise in Sokoto State, Nigeria, demonstrating that while digital enumeration successfully strengthened population identification for maternal and child health services, its full impact was constrained by operational challenges such as network failures, security issues, and sociocultural barriers, necessitating future strategies that integrate offline digital systems, extended timelines, and stronger subnational leadership.
