Preparing Nutrition Professionals for Population Level Action: Legal-Regulatory, Policy, Advocacy, and Systems level Competencies in Entry to practice Standards

This study evaluates entry-to-practice standards for nutrition professionals through a comparative analysis of global benchmarks and Indonesian standards, finding that while existing frameworks provide a solid foundation for population-level action, Indonesia's standards require selective refinement to better specify policy functions, advocacy targets, and food-systems competencies.

Safety Incident Reporting in Chiropractic: A descriptive analysis of an active and passive system

This study compares the Chiropractic Patient Incident Reporting and Learning System (CPiRLS) and SafetyNET against WHO patient safety frameworks, finding that while neither system fully aligns with global standards individually, their complementary designs suggest the chiropractic profession would benefit from utilizing both active and passive reporting approaches rather than choosing between them.

A Nomogram for Predicting Early Mortality in Cardiac Arrest Patients Undergoing ECPR: A Multicenter Development and External Validation Study

This study developed and externally validated a nomogram based on five routine laboratory parameters (D-dimer, INR, potassium, sodium, and LMR) to accurately predict 10-day mortality in cardiac arrest patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).

Exploring longitudinal academic trajectories of medical students with allergic rhinitis: Implications for early identification and support

This prospective longitudinal study of 100 Japanese medical students found that while allergic rhinitis was associated with significantly lower first-year GPAs, the performance gap attenuated over subsequent years without significant differences in overall academic trajectories, suggesting that early identification of such modifiable health conditions could facilitate targeted student support.

Wearable physical activity monitoring in inpatients with Anorexia Nervosa - a longitudinal examination

This longitudinal study demonstrates that while female adolescents with anorexia nervosa exhibit significantly lower objectively measured physical activity at admission compared to controls, their activity levels normalize during structured inpatient treatment, though they continue to report higher subjective stress and perceived exertion related to physical activity.

Does Specific Activity Provide a Clinical Advantage in Lu-177 PSMA Therapy? A Comparison of the Clinical Efficacy, Molecular Response, and Safety Profiles of CA and NCA Lu-177

This retrospective study of 71 mCRPC patients found that carrier-added (CA) and non-carrier-added (NCA) [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-PSMA therapies offer comparable clinical and molecular efficacy, though the higher specific activity of NCA formulations is associated with a significantly increased risk of mild xerostomia.

Insecticide-treated nets ownership, utilization, and associated barriers during the dry season among urban residents of Jabi Tehnan District, northwest Ethiopia

This community-based cross-sectional study in northwest Ethiopia found that while insecticide-treated net ownership and utilization were high among urban households during the dry season, significant barriers persisted, particularly for households with fewer nets and those in Mankusa town, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to ensure adequate availability and consistent use.
