Tracing pathways to adverse pregnancy outcomes in eastern Uganda: A retrospective analysis of contributing factors

This retrospective qualitative study in eastern Uganda identifies that adverse pregnancy outcomes stem from fragmented care pathways, systemic health system weaknesses (including inadequate staffing, supplies, and referrals), and socio-cultural barriers, underscoring the urgent need for integrated interventions that strengthen clinical practices, referral systems, and community health literacy.

Post-Mortem Findings of ADHD Medications in Finland: Trends, Substance Use and Mortality Patterns in Medico- Legal Deaths, 2016–2024

This retrospective study of Finnish medico-legal deaths from 2016 to 2024 reveals that while detections of ADHD medications in post-mortem cases have risen in parallel with prescription rates, fatalities directly attributed to these drugs remain rare, with the deceased predominantly representing a high-risk subgroup characterized by significant substance-use comorbidity and unnatural causes of death.

Distinct recovery trajectories of spatiotemporal and trunk kinematic parameters following simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty: a 12-month longitudinal study

This 12-month longitudinal study using wearable IMU sensors reveals that spatiotemporal gait parameters and trunk kinematics follow distinct recovery trajectories following simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty, with temporal parameters normalizing by six months while spatial parameters and trunk sway continue to improve or remain impaired compared to healthy controls at one year.

Determinants of Interprofessional Collaboration in a University Medical Center in Beirut

This 2025 cross-sectional study of 347 staff at a Beirut university medical center found that while interprofessional collaboration is generally well-perceived, its effectiveness is primarily determined by collaborative leadership, task clarification, and mutual understanding, yet hindered by communication barriers, hierarchical tensions, and insufficient organizational support.

Effects of dorsal foot sensory electrical stimulation on gait phase control in stroke survivors with cognitive impairment: a randomized controlled trial

This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that adding four weeks of dorsal foot sensory electrical stimulation to conventional rehabilitation significantly improves paretic stance-phase control and gait symmetry in stroke survivors with cognitive impairment, independent of increases in gait speed.

α-Synuclein Seeding Activity in Fixed Antemortem Skin Biopsies From Patients With Synucleinopathies

This study demonstrates that optimized real-time quaking-induced conversion assays can successfully detect pathological α-synuclein seeding activity in paraformaldehyde-fixed antemortem skin biopsies from patients with synucleinopathies, offering a viable method to complement morphological assessments of peripheral pathology.

Thrombotic Risk of Targeted Therapies in Breast Cancer: A Real-World Cohort Study

This real-world cohort study of 4,165 breast cancer patients reveals that targeted therapies, particularly CDK4/6 inhibitors and everolimus, are significantly associated with increased risks of arterial and venous thrombosis, with nicotine dependence, brain metastases, and higher BMI identified as key independent patient-level risk factors.
