Integrated microscopic and molecular diagnosis of imported mixed malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium ovalecurtisi: an Italian case report

This Italian case report describes the successful diagnosis and treatment of a 67-year-old man with a mixed *Plasmodium falciparum* and *Plasmodium ovale curtisi* malaria infection, highlighting the critical role of integrating microscopy, rapid antigen testing, and molecular assays to accurately identify complex co-infections in non-endemic settings.

Modelling the effects of seasonal malaria chemoprevention 1on malaria transmission dynamics in the presence of existing interventions in Nigeria

This study utilizes a deterministic compartmental model fitted to routine data from six Nigerian states to demonstrate that while Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) significantly reduces malaria morbidity beyond its targeted population, its overall effectiveness is critically dependent on underlying vector dynamics, necessitating integration with complementary vector control interventions for sustained impact.

Implementation and student outcomes of an implementation strategy for the sustainability of group evidence-based practices in schools

This hybrid type 2 cluster-randomized trial demonstrates that a "Prepare for Sustainment" strategy, combining initial training with ongoing coach supervision supported by external consultants, is more effective than usual practices in maintaining high process fidelity and improving student behavioral engagement and mental health outcomes for evidence-based programs in urban elementary schools.

Prevalence and Coping Strategies of Burnout among MBBS Students at a Medical College in Pokhara, Nepal: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the Maslach Burnout Inventory – Student Survey

This cross-sectional study of MBBS students in Pokhara, Nepal, reveals that while strict burnout affects 12.1% of students, nearly 90% exhibit at least one burnout dimension, with the highest prevalence occurring in pre-clinical years and a strong association found between maladaptive coping strategies and burnout symptoms.

Real- World Use of Complement Inhibitor Therapy in Critically Ill Children With Thrombotic Microangiopathy: Results From the Spanish Multicenter Matucip Registry.

This retrospective study of 40 critically ill Spanish children with thrombotic microangiopathy treated with complement inhibitors reveals that while half had suspected complement-mediated HUS, the other half received off-label therapy for other subtypes, with non-CM-HUS patients experiencing significantly later treatment initiation, more severe extrarenal manifestations, longer PICU stays, and higher rates of discharge hypertension.

Agreement between bioelectrical impedance analysis and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in Parkinson’s disease and controls

While bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) demonstrates strong correlation and consistency with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for assessing body composition in Parkinson's disease, its systematic underestimation of lean mass and wide limits of agreement preclude its use as a direct substitute for DXA in individual clinical settings, though it remains valuable for population-level screening.

Efficacy of Locally Applied Propolis Gel as an Adjunct to Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Study with Biochemical Evaluation

This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that locally applied propolis gel, when used as an adjunct to nonsurgical periodontal therapy, significantly improves clinical periodontal parameters and reduces prostaglandin E2 levels in patients with stage II grade B periodontitis compared to therapy alone.

Green Fabrication of Acacia ferruginea Based Silver Nanoparticles Targeting TNF-α and AMPK Receptors for the Management of Haemorrhoids

This study demonstrates that green-synthesized silver nanoparticles derived from *Acacia ferruginea* leaf extract exhibit enhanced antioxidant and anti-hemorrhoidal efficacy in a rat model, supported by physicochemical characterization and computational evidence of interactions with TNF-α and AMPK receptors.
