Prevalance of Anemia, Severity and Morphological Pattern Among Neonates Admitted in Nicu at Jowhar Regional Referal Hospital, Jowhar, Somalia.

A hospital-based study conducted at Jowhar Regional Referral Hospital in Somalia reveals a high prevalence (57.8%) of neonatal anemia, characterized by significant moderate-to-severe cases and diverse morphological patterns, which is strongly predicted by maternal factors such as lack of antenatal care, maternal anemia, and hypertension, as well as neonatal factors like low birth weight and prematurity.

Impact of total intravenous anesthesia compared with inhalation anesthesia on mortality in oncologic surgery: A retrospective cohort

This retrospective cohort study of 1,008 cancer patients in Peru found that while overall survival rates were similar between groups, inhalation anesthesia was associated with a statistically higher mortality risk compared to total intravenous anesthesia after adjusting for multiple clinical and sociodemographic factors.

Effect of Continuous Direct Current on Sweating and Quality of Life in Women with Primary Palmar Hyperhidrosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This double-blind randomized controlled trial demonstrates that continuous direct current (galvanic current) is an effective, noninvasive treatment for reducing sweating and improving quality of life in women with primary palmar hyperhidrosis compared to a sham intervention.

Comparative Analysis of Anatomical and Visual Outcomes in Large and Massive Idiopathic Macular Holes Treated with Routine Versus Inverted ILM Flap Techniques

This retrospective study of 80 eyes in a North Indian tertiary center demonstrates that while surgical intervention using inverted ILM flap or routine techniques improves anatomical and visual outcomes for both large (500–1000 µm) and massive (>1000 µm) idiopathic macular holes, patients with large holes achieve significantly better postoperative visual acuity and anatomical closure rates compared to those with massive holes.

Tracheobronchial Tree 3D Printing Accuracy: Effects of Patient Physical Characteristics, Image Reconstruction and Segmentation Parameters on PolyJet 3D Printed Models Compared to CT Source Images

This study demonstrates that the accuracy of PolyJet 3D-printed tracheobronchial models compared to CT source images is significantly influenced by segmentation thresholds (with −300 to −400 HU yielding optimal results) and patient-specific factors including BMI, age, sex, and CT reconstruction kernels.

Oral Frailty Status and Its Risk Factors in older persons Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease：A Comprehensive Analysis

This cross-sectional study of 120 older COPD patients in Fuzhou reveals an extremely high prevalence of oral frailty (94.2%) and identifies the number of natural teeth, oral health-related quality of life, and nutritional status as significant independent risk factors, underscoring the need for targeted dental and nutritional interventions in this population.

A comparative study of Gum elastic bougie preloaded over the guide rail of the C-MAC versus stylet for ease of intubation in patients under simulated cervical spine immobilisation: implications for emergency airway management

In patients with simulated cervical spine immobilization undergoing C-MAC D-blade intubation, preloading a stylet significantly reduces intubation time compared to a gum elastic bougie, while both devices demonstrate comparable efficacy regarding ease of intubation, success rates, and complications.

Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Evaluation of Ovarian Morphology in Adolescents with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Comparative Study with Transabdominal Ultrasonography

This comparative study of 80 adolescents demonstrates that Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers superior visualization and diagnostic accuracy for evaluating ovarian morphology in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) compared to transabdominal ultrasonography, making it a valuable complementary tool when ultrasound findings are inconclusive.
