Differential Associations of Parent-Reported Sleep Difficulties With Teacher-Rated Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome and ADHD Symptom Dimensions in School-Aged Children

This study of 291 Taiwanese school-aged children reveals that parent-reported daytime sleepiness is uniquely associated with teacher-rated Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS), while parasomnia symptoms are uniquely linked to ADHD inattention, suggesting that specific sleep domains have distinct cross-informant relationships with different attention-related symptom dimensions.

Rural-urban differences in pain intensity, pain interference, and physical function among cancer survivors

This study found that rural cancer survivors experience significantly higher pain intensity and interference, as well as lower physical function, compared to their urban counterparts, highlighting the need for targeted management and virtual care strategies to address these disparities.

A qualitative study of chemsex and healthcare system responses among men who have sex with men in Vietnam

This qualitative study of 50 interviews and eight focus groups across six Vietnamese provinces reveals that chemsex among men who have sex with men is driven by complex social and individual factors but remains inadequately addressed by an HIV-centric healthcare system and a lack of legal prioritization, necessitating integrated legal and clinical frameworks.

Exploring the Use of Generative AI in Postgraduate GP Training: A Qualitative Study of Resident Doctors’ Experiences and Perceptions

This qualitative study of 19 general practice resident doctors reveals that while generative AI is valued for reducing administrative burdens and supporting clinical reasoning, its safe integration requires robust professional judgment, verification of outputs, and clearer training guidance to mitigate risks regarding accuracy, confidentiality, and skill erosion.

Discovering wearable sensor-derived temporal digital phenotypes and their association with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy

This study demonstrates that machine learning-derived digital phenotypes from wearable sensors, specifically capturing transitions toward lower physical activity, poorer sleep, and reduced autonomic variability, can effectively predict subsequent hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, offering a promising complement to routine prenatal care.

Perceived Quality of Perinatal Care in Public and Private Secondary Health Facilities in Ibadan, Nigeria: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study

This comparative cross-sectional study in Ibadan, Nigeria, reveals that while overall satisfaction with perinatal care is high in both public and private secondary facilities, women in public facilities report significantly better overall experiences driven by greater provider availability and competence, despite pervasive deficiencies in client-provider interaction across both sectors.

Association of In-Hospital Antimalarial–Macrolide Therapy With 3–6-Month Cardiac Electrophysiological Outcomes in Survivors of Severe COVID-19: A Matched Retrospective Cohort Study

In a matched retrospective cohort study of severe COVID-19 survivors, short-term in-hospital exposure to combined antimalarial–macrolide therapy was not associated with persistent QTc prolongation or clinically significant cardiac electrophysiological abnormalities at 3–6 months, though observed differences in heart rate and variability may be confounded by acute disease severity.

Development and in vivo characterization of the first peptide-based 99mTc-Nitrido-radiopharmaceuticals for FAP-targeted SPECT imaging

This study successfully developed and characterized the first peptide-based 99mTc-nitrido radiopharmaceuticals targeting Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP), demonstrating that the choice of bisphosphinoamine ligand significantly influences biological profiles, with the [99mTc][Tc(N)PNP3]-cysFAP compound showing the most favorable in vivo performance for SPECT imaging of FAP-positive tumors.
