Latent Profile Analysis of Medical Students' Science Popularization Ability and Its Relationship with eHealth Literacy and Volunteer Service Motivation: A Cross-sectional Study

This cross-sectional study of 528 medical students in Heilongjiang Province utilized latent profile analysis to identify two distinct science popularization ability groups (low and moderate), revealing that volunteer service motivation positively predicts higher ability while self-assessed communication and translation skills showed a counterintuitive negative association, likely due to self-assessment bias.

Characteristics of Eye Movements in Patients with Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia When Recognizing Guide Signs and Their Association with Individual Factors

This study reveals that eye movements during guide-sign recognition in patients with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are significantly influenced by a complex interplay of psychiatric diagnosis, individual characteristics such as age and driving history, and dynamic driving conditions like speed and sign location.

Performance of Generative Artificial Intelligence and Medical Students on Undergraduate Ophthalmology Examinations: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study

This cross-sectional study found that while five generative AI systems significantly outperformed fourth-year medical students on undergraduate ophthalmology text-based questions, most struggled with image-based items, highlighting their potential as educational tools while cautioning against equating exam performance with clinical competence.

Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI) as a Novel Predictor for All-Cause Mortality in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Based on UK Biobank data, this study demonstrates that an elevated Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI) is an independent, non-linear predictor of increased all-cause mortality in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, partially mediated by factors such as handgrip strength and C-reactive protein.

Long-term bone preservation following mid-root fractures: a 12-year follow-up case report

This 12-year case report demonstrates that bilateral maxillary central incisors with mid-root fractures in a growing patient can be successfully retained long-term through individualized management involving delayed repositioning and endodontic treatment restricted solely to the necrotic coronal fragments, despite persistent localized bone rarefaction and slight mobility.

Ciliary Body Metastasis from Lung Cancer Presenting as Acute Angle- Closure Glaucoma: Two Case Reports

This paper reports two cases of ciliary body metastasis from lung cancer mimicking primary acute angle-closure glaucoma, highlighting the importance of ultrasound biomicroscopy for early detection and cautioning against incisional surgery when intraocular malignancy is suspected due to the poor response to conventional glaucoma therapy.

Machine learning–based prediction of in-hospital postoperative ischemic stroke following off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

This study developed and validated an XGBoost-based machine learning model, integrated into a user-friendly web tool called POISM, to accurately predict the risk of in-hospital postoperative ischemic stroke in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting using data from two large hospital cohorts.

Adherence to Chest Wall Trauma Guidelines Reduces Critical Care Burden Across Ventilation Phenotypes: A Two-Era Cohort Study

This two-era cohort study demonstrates that implementing a structured, guideline-informed chest wall trauma pathway significantly reduced adjusted ICU stay duration, with the benefit concentrated specifically in patients requiring ventilation due to chest wall injuries rather than extrathoracic causes.

Beyond Gray Matter: White Matter Functional Network Signatures of Major Depressive Disorder Track Symptom Severity

Using a large-scale resting-state fMRI dataset, this study reveals that white matter functional network connectivity and spectral power alterations in major depressive disorder track symptom severity and reflect a systems-level imbalance in neural communication, suggesting that examining white matter alongside gray matter provides a more comprehensive understanding of depression's functional pathology.
