This multicentre case-control study in Ghana identifies that deaths among severe malaria patients are significantly associated with failures in triage and timely parenteral treatment, delays in referral and blood transfusion, and barriers related to residence outside the admitting district and lack of health insurance.
This qualitative study of 13 palliative care nurses reveals that while emotional burden and ethical dilemmas pose significant challenges to their well-being, intrinsic motivations like empathy and spiritual values foster moral courage, underscoring the urgent need for systemic psychological and ethical support to mitigate compassion fatigue.
This study utilizes a secondary analysis of the 2024–25 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey to demonstrate that an interpretable Random Forest machine learning model can accurately predict postnatal anemia severity using key determinants like BMI and antenatal care, offering a scalable tool for targeted clinical interventions in Ethiopia.
This study identifies a gene signature comprising opioid receptor- and pain-related genes (specifically CNR1 and TRPV1) that serves as an independent prognostic indicator for overall survival and reflects specific inflammatory immune microenvironment states in gastric and colorectal cancers, though its clinical utility requires further prospective validation and functional investigation.
The ATLAS framework introduces a compact, evidence-traceable AI system for fetal-head ultrasound biometry that integrates data integrity checks, anatomical verification, and dual measurement methods to ensure accurate, auditable, and clinically trustworthy gestational assessments.
A cross-sectional study of 384 male high school students in Kathmandu revealed unsatisfactory levels of contraceptive knowledge and limited parent-adolescent communication, highlighting an urgent need for comprehensive sexual health education and improved dialogue, particularly among younger students in government schools.
This qualitative study at Masaka Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda, guided by the COM-B framework, identifies key health system, individual, sociocultural, and structural facilitators and barriers—ranging from integrated services and peer support to stockouts, stigma, and poverty—that influence the elimination of mother-to-child HIV transmission.
This study demonstrates that a YOLO v11 deep learning model utilizing multimodal MRI fusion (T1WI and T2WI) achieves superior accuracy and real-time inference speeds for the early detection of osteonecrosis of the femoral head, offering a robust tool for clinical decision support.
This scoping review of 50 studies reveals that while foundation models are increasingly applied to dementia detection and diagnosis, the field remains at a proof-of-concept stage characterized by non-comparable performance metrics, a lack of demographic diversity, and a need for larger, more rigorous validation.
This prospective observational cohort study demonstrates that the proportion of MMP8⁺ cells within peripheral blood mononuclear cells is an independent prognostic marker for 60-day mortality in sepsis patients, offering improved risk reclassification beyond standard clinical variables.
