This cross-sectional study at the University of Health and Allied Sciences in Ghana reveals that medical students possess significantly higher awareness and knowledge of ototoxic medications compared to allied health students, highlighting a critical need for targeted educational interventions to address these disparities and improve future patient safety.
This cross-sectional study of female university students in Lebanon and Armenia reveals that unhealthy toileting behaviors are significantly associated with overactive bladder symptoms in both populations, though specific behavioral patterns like delayed voiding in Lebanon and premature voiding in Armenia show distinct country-specific correlations.
This cross-sectional study conducted at Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital in Ethiopia found that 38.9% of patients on Dolutegravir-based first-line antiretroviral therapy reported adverse drug reactions, with urban residence, earlier disease stage at initiation, treatment-naïve status, and concomitant medication use identified as significant associated factors.
This study presents a smart, dual-responsive hydrogel microsphere that delivers a MEK inhibitor and citric acid in a temporally controlled sequence to suppress the ETS2/c-Jun inflammatory axis and reprogram the degenerative nucleus pulposus microenvironment, thereby achieving functional intervertebral disc regeneration.
This study estimates population-specific dietary iron requirements for the Saudi population using a factorial modeling approach based on physiological losses, local body weight data, and varying bioavailability levels to inform nutritional policy and assessment.
This study of older Indian adults demonstrates that intrinsic capacity and the physical frailty phenotype are complementary rather than redundant predictors of mortality, with cognitive function specifically identifying high-risk individuals who appear physically robust but would otherwise be missed by frailty screening alone.
This multi-country analysis of seven low- and middle-income nations reveals that contraceptive-induced menstrual changes are a leading cause of method discontinuation, particularly among adolescents and injectable users, highlighting the urgent need to move beyond one-size-fits-all family planning approaches toward personalized contraceptive interventions.
This study demonstrates that parthenolide enhances the antitumor efficacy of imatinib in gastrointestinal stromal tumor models by inducing stress-associated apoptosis through mechanisms involving ROS elevation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and ER-stress pathway activation.
This study demonstrates that a multimodal dynamic visual acuity assessment performed during standing and walking can effectively differentiate athletes with a history of recent sport-related concussion from asymptomatic controls, revealing persistent visual-cognitive deficits despite clinical recovery.
This pioneering study in a Mozambican tertiary hospital reveals that while frontline teamwork is a strength, the patient safety culture is significantly compromised by systemic barriers including production pressure, a punitive environment, and inadequate feedback loops, necessitating targeted leadership and communication interventions.
