This retrospective study of 250 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients identified age, TNM stage, white blood cell count, and globulin as independent prognostic factors and developed a validated nomogram to predict individual survival outcomes.
A multimodal telemedicine curriculum significantly improved pre-clerkship medical students' confidence in core virtual care competencies, with the greatest gains observed in those who participated in an additional interactive workshop, though confidence levels declined slightly by the one-year follow-up.
This case report describes five instances of scapular chondrosarcoma treated with tumor resection and reconstruction using 3D-printed prostheses and LARS artificial ligaments, demonstrating that this multidisciplinary approach effectively preserves upper limb function and shoulder stability.
This qualitative study reveals that adults with type 2 diabetes and binge eating who completed a digital intervention identified specific barriers and requested adaptations such as psychoeducation, glucose tracking, and enhanced medical support to better address their dual health needs.
This study reports the first documented cases of thyroid eye disease following autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for multiple sclerosis, highlighting that while patients often present with low clinical activity scores, the condition frequently progresses to moderate-to-severe disease, necessitating prolonged multidisciplinary surveillance and careful consideration of future biologic therapies.
Through co-design workshops and cognitive interviewing with children, caregivers, and healthcare professionals in Uganda, this study successfully adapted and validated the African Children's Palliative Care Outcome Scale (African C-POS) to ensure its comprehensibility, relevance, and developmental appropriateness for assessing the needs of children with life-limiting conditions.
This cross-sectional study evaluated 181 short videos about rotator cuff tears on Chinese platforms TikTok and Redbook, finding that while overall content quality is moderate and orthopedic professionals provide the most understandable information, there is a positive correlation between quality and user engagement, highlighting the need for healthcare professionals to create more actionable content and for platforms to prioritize expert medical voices.
This study demonstrates that bilayer nanofibrous patches composed of polycaprolactone and 7% human amniotic membrane solution offer an optimal balance of mechanical stability and bioactivity, significantly enhancing human dermal fibroblast viability and accelerating wound closure compared to other formulations.
This study utilized a participatory Group Model Development approach with systems thinking to engage multisectoral stakeholders in Uganda, identifying key systemic challenges and prioritizing nine strategic intervention pathways—such as strengthening coordination, data-driven surveillance, and community engagement—to enhance health system resilience against recurrent cholera outbreaks.
In patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy undergoing ventricular tachycardia ablation, larger scar burden and lower ejection fraction predict recurrence, yet the procedure significantly reduces ICD therapy burden even in those with recurrence, suggesting that arrhythmia burden reduction is a more comprehensive marker of clinical success than freedom from recurrence alone.
