Effect of Co-Alarming of Monitor Alarms on the Response Time and Accuracy of Recognition of Novel Hemodynamic Alarms

This study demonstrates that while perceptually designed novel hemodynamic alarms can be identified, their response times and accuracy are significantly compromised by the presence of concurrent proprietary alarms, highlighting the critical need for careful temporal and spectral design to maintain perceptual clarity in complex clinical acoustic environments.

Enacting Translational Simulation: A 24-hour Human Biocontainment Simulation Incorporating Patient Participation and Video-Reflexive Ethnography

This paper describes the methodology and outcomes of a 24-hour in situ translational simulation in a human biocontainment center that integrated a real patient and video-reflexive ethnography to generate system-level insights and demonstrate how patient participation can enhance healthcare evaluation and improvement.

Knowledge, attitude, and practice of postpartum care in women who have undergone cesarean delivery in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital: a cross-sectional study

This cross-sectional study at Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital in Ethiopia reveals that while postpartum women who underwent cesarean delivery generally possess good knowledge and favorable attitudes toward postpartum care, their actual practices—particularly regarding neonatal physical examinations—are inconsistent and significantly influenced by maternal and partner education levels as well as antenatal care attendance.

Parsimony over panel size: a stability-selected four-gene mitoxyperilysis-related score is an independent, externally reproduced prognostic factor in lower-grade glioma

This study identifies a stability-selected four-gene signature (BMP1, KIF15, TRAF3, PDGFA) as an independent prognostic factor for lower-grade glioma that was externally validated in a separate cohort, though the authors caution that the score reflects a proliferation-high, matrix-remodeling state rather than true mitoxyperilysis and lacks transportable absolute-risk utility.

Evidence on drug withdrawal reactions after medication discontinuation: An umbrella review

This umbrella review of 38 systematic reviews reveals that adverse drug withdrawal reactions occur with highly variable incidence and symptom profiles across different medications—particularly CNS drugs—highlighting the urgent need for standardized detection and reporting criteria to better distinguish physiological withdrawal from disease relapse.

A novel HDAC6/HIF-1α dual inhibitor halts malignant progression and reprograms immune microenvironment in triple-negative breast cancer

The study identifies compound 12e, a novel HDAC6/HIF-1α dual inhibitor, as a promising therapeutic candidate for triple-negative breast cancer that effectively halts malignant progression and reprograms the immune microenvironment through synergistic multi-pathway inhibition.

Chronic complex regional pain syndrome patient IgM has pronociceptive effects in the spinal cord, but not skin, of fracture mice

This study demonstrates that IgM antibodies from chronic complex regional pain syndrome patients induce pronociceptive effects specifically in the spinal cord, but not the skin, of fracture mice by targeting glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and activating complement and cytokine pathways, suggesting a temporal shift in autoantibody targets from both skin and spinal neoantigens to primarily spinal neoantigens as the disease progresses.

Accuracy of Clinical and Ultrasound Estimation of Fetal Weight Compared with Actual Birth Weight in Term Pregnancies: A Prospective Cohort Study

In a prospective cohort study of term pregnancies, ultrasound-based fetal weight estimation demonstrated greater accuracy and correlation with actual birth weight than clinical estimation using Johnson's formula, although the latter remains a practical alternative in resource-limited settings, particularly noting that clinical accuracy decreases as maternal BMI increases.

Age- and Sex-Specific Reference Intervals for Laboratory Parameters from Aging Trajectories in Healthy Beijing Adults (2010–2026)

This study establishes age- and sex-specific reference intervals for laboratory parameters in healthy Beijing adults by analyzing longitudinal data from 2010 to 2026, identifying key aging inflection points to demonstrate that uniform reference intervals systematically misclassify physiological aging—particularly in peri- and post-menopausal women—as pathology.
