This pilot study in Rwanda demonstrates that medical students highly accept and perceive significant educational benefits from using virtual reality as a supplementary tool for anatomy education, suggesting its feasibility as a scalable solution in resource-limited settings.
This single-center study identifies high baseline plasma EMMPRIN levels as an independent prognostic biomarker for disease progression in patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma treated with pazopanib, a finding validated across two independent cohorts.
Using longitudinal data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, this study reveals significant bidirectional relationships between daily living abilities (ADL and IADL) and depressive symptoms among Chinese older adults, while identifying parent-child relationships as a significant longitudinal mediator specifically for instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) rather than basic activities of daily living (ADL).
This study of early-stage type 2 diabetes patients demonstrates that increasing lower-limb muscle mass, particularly in the thighs and calves, is a critical modifiable factor for improving insulin resistance and glucose control, as revealed by bioelectrical impedance analysis.
This study presents the design and preliminary clinical evaluation of StrokeReach, a Leap Motion-based dual-task virtual reality system that demonstrates feasibility and effectiveness in improving hand-eye coordination, functional disability, and visuospatial attention for post-stroke patients through immersive motor-cognitive training.
This microsimulation study projects that increasing NHS Health Check uptake in England to 75% by 2040 would prevent nearly 300,000 chronic disease cases and generate significant health and economic benefits, particularly for men, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of £3,306 per QALY when including system cost savings.
This paper reports a novel, organ-preserving serosectomy technique (the Kesmer method) that successfully treated extensive pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis in a methamphetamine-abusing patient by removing gas-filled cysts without bowel resection, thereby preventing short bowel syndrome and avoiding multiple anastomoses.
This cross-sectional study in South Eastern Nigeria reveals that while occupational exposure to HIV-seropositive material is common among health professionals, the uptake of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) remains suboptimal at 40%, with physicians being significantly more likely to utilize it than other professionals.
This retrospective comparative study of 101 children with acute acquired comitant esotropia demonstrates that while all three treatments (Fresnel prisms, botulinum toxin injections, and surgery) are safe, strabismus correction surgery offers the most rapid and stable long-term functional recovery, whereas botulinum toxin and Fresnel prisms serve as viable alternatives for specific patient profiles based on strabismus severity and individual needs.
This cross-sectional content analysis of 180 short-form videos on TikTok and Bilibili reveals that while exercise-based anxiety-relief content varies significantly in quality, reliability, and safety, videos from professional or institutional sources are generally superior to those from general creators, and high audience engagement does not necessarily correlate with informational quality.
