This qualitative study reveals that healthcare inequities among migrants in Tunisia are primarily driven by intersecting structural, legal, and socioeconomic vulnerabilities—such as irregular status and discrimination—that create a dynamic cycle of exclusion and unmet health needs, rather than by individual behaviors.
This case report describes a 10-year-old Maltese dog with a giant right atrial diverticulum that remained clinically stable for 45 months under multimodal monitoring and anticoagulation therapy before succumbing to late-onset supraventricular tachycardia-associated collapse, thromboembolic complications, and cardiac decompensation.
This Danish retrospective cohort study identified fertility treatment, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, labor augmentation, and a clinically estimated birthweight of 4,000g or more as significant pre-delivery risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage, suggesting their inclusion in preventive clinical guidelines.
This multi-omics study demonstrates that oral fecal microbiota transplantation effectively alleviates constipation, anxiety, and depression symptoms in patients by remodeling gut microbial composition and metabolic profiles, with clinical outcomes influenced by baseline states and specific short-chain fatty acid-related microbial networks.
This study demonstrates that hydroxytyrosol exerts neuroprotective effects in a reserpine-induced rat model of Parkinson's disease by attenuating hippocampal inflammation and oxidative stress through the inhibition of the JNK–c-Jun–AP-1 signaling pathway, thereby improving both motor and cognitive functions.
Using Caco-2 cells to investigate the human health relevance of microplastics as PAH carriers, this study found that while polyamide microplastics may slightly enhance cellular benzo(a)pyrene levels during co-exposure, the carrier effect is of minor relevance due to the limited bioavailability of PAHs adsorbed to the particles compared to exposure from the chemical alone.
Based on a SEER cohort analysis of 6,008 patients, surgical resection is associated with significantly improved overall survival in malignant pleural mesothelioma, particularly benefiting women, with survival outcomes continuing to improve over the past two decades despite ongoing challenges in surgical candidate selection.
This case report demonstrates that a staged, multidisciplinary approach combining multi-material bone grafting, digital implant guidance, and soft tissue augmentation successfully achieved stable functional and aesthetic rehabilitation for severe maxillary and mandibular alveolar defects caused by blast injury.
This multicentre retrospective cohort study found that ampicillin-sulbactam and cefazolin yielded similar major clinical outcomes for methicillin-susceptible *Staphylococcus aureus* infective endocarditis, suggesting ampicillin-sulbactam is a viable alternative when standard antistaphylococcal agents are unavailable.
This study of 23 sub-Saharan African countries finds that while industrial mine openings are associated with increased maternal health service utilization, such as antenatal care and skilled birth attendance, these benefits are largely confined to wealthier households, highlighting a significant equity gap and a lack of impact on HIV testing.
