Despite near-universal ownership of long-lasting insecticidal nets among pregnant women in Bonsu Sub-Municipality, Ghana, a significant utilization gap persists primarily due to knowledge deficits regarding insecticide efficacy and physical discomfort from side effects, rather than supply-side barriers.
This study reveals that the Philippines' PhilHealth-accredited physician workforce is critically insufficient and heavily concentrated in the National Capital Region, with a distribution pattern mirroring that of medical schools and training hospitals, leaving dozens of provinces without access to essential specialist care.
This cross-sectional analysis of NHANES data reveals that while telemedicine use among older adults with multimorbidity is associated with both clinical need and socioeconomic resources, lower income significantly increases the likelihood of high-need nonuse, highlighting persistent disparities in access to remote care.
This study demonstrates that oral administration of olive leaf extract exerts neuroprotective effects in a rabbit model of chronic spinal cord injury by significantly reducing the expression of apoptotic markers (AIF and caspase-3), lowering pro-inflammatory cytokines, increasing BDNF, and improving motor function.
This paper argues that Nigeria's unregulated high-saturated-fat palm olein market poses a severe cardiovascular threat and proposes a dual regulatory strategy combining mandatory compositional reformulation (capping SFAs at 35 g/100 g or lower) with volumetric consumption limits to significantly reduce ischemic heart disease risk across the population.
This study analyzes serological markers, clinical characteristics, and treatment outcomes in a Pakistani cohort with hepatitis B virus, revealing a 1.85% HBsAg prevalence with a significant active-replication subgroup, and underscores the urgent need for enhanced vaccination, early diagnosis, and genotype-informed surveillance to manage chronic HBV in Pakistan.
This retrospective observational study of 41 patients at H. Adam Malik General Hospital demonstrates that Percutaneous Endoscopic Interlaminar Discectomy (PEID) is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for lumbar disc herniation, significantly reducing pain and improving physical function with a low complication rate.
This retrospective study of 138 eyes found that primary IOL removal via a scleral tunnel is a significant risk factor for secondary IOL tilt following the Yamane technique, though the resulting tilt did not adversely affect long-term visual acuity.
This paper presents an open, reproducible reference implementation of the clinically accurate CMS Hospital-Wide Readmission measure on MIMIC-IV, demonstrating that faithfully applying its complex exclusion and stratification rules significantly alters the prediction target compared to naive definitions while providing a calibrated baseline model and resources for fair, leakage-controlled research.
This retrospective study demonstrates that real-world event-free survival and pathological complete response rates for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer are concordant with the control arm estimates from the KEYNOTE-522 clinical trial, confirming the replicability of trial outcomes in matched real-world populations.
