This cross-sectional study of 352 undergraduate students at Mai-Nefhi College of Science and Engineering in Eritrea reveals a 65.3% prevalence of Computer Vision Syndrome, identifying female gender, glare exposure, refractive errors, and higher academic year levels as significant risk factors.
This study developed and externally validated a clinically interpretable, parsimonious model using six early non-treatment variables to predict 30-day mortality in critically ill patients with interstitial lung disease and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, finding that while adding treatment-related variables improved discrimination, the baseline model offered superior overall predictive accuracy and remains the preferred tool for early risk stratification despite moderate external performance.
A 2023 nationwide survey of 2,361 people who inject drugs in Iran reveals alarmingly high rates of physical (27.0%) and sexual (15.1%) violence, which are significantly associated with structural vulnerabilities like homelessness and low income, as well as specific risk factors such as mental disorders and female gender.
This study of 1,807 children in Fujian Province, China, found that while the Infant and Child Feeding Index (ICFI) effectively reflects population-level feeding practices and socioeconomic disparities, its utility for predicting individual child growth outcomes is limited due to a weak correlation with nutritional status.
This study validates the Brazilian version of the Body Shape Questionnaire as a psychometrically sound, unidimensional instrument with high internal consistency for assessing body image dissatisfaction in postpartum women from Northeast Brazil.
This retrospective cohort study demonstrates that baseline malnutrition-inflammation-anemia (MIA) phenotypes and longitudinal immune-inflammatory burden are significantly associated with increased all-cause mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients, suggesting that routine assessment of these markers can help identify high-risk individuals for dynamic risk monitoring.
This 14-year retrospective interrupted time-series study in Liuzhou, China, demonstrates that a citywide governance strategy implemented in January 2018 significantly reduced the burden of urban non-traumatic multiple casualty incidents, particularly carbon monoxide-related events, by effectively addressing seasonal peaks and preventable hazards.
This study presents a label-free electrochemical aptasensor utilizing MBene nanosheets for the highly sensitive and specific detection of EpCAM-overexpressing cancer cells, demonstrating clinical viability through successful discrimination of malignant and benign endometrial samples.
A cross-sectional study of 332 elderly individuals in Mbarara District, Uganda, found that 38.9% suffer from sarcopenia, a condition significantly associated with advanced age (80–89 years), malnutrition, and low loneliness, highlighting the urgent need for routine screening and targeted interventions.
This 2024 study of 515 leptospirosis cases in Galle district, Sri Lanka, reveals that middle-aged male manual laborers and farmers are the most affected groups, with exposure to paddy fields and muddy land as primary risk factors, while highlighting a critical gap in preventive care due to extremely low chemoprophylaxis uptake.
