This paper describes the co-design and development of a low-cost, scalable toolkit for community health workers and care teams, featuring training, reference guides, and action protocols, to better address patient employment needs and improve health outcomes.
This narrative review proposes a structured framework for using artificial intelligence to enable precision allocation of cardiometabolic therapies in diabetes and metabolic disease by integrating risk prediction, treatment prioritization, and causal effect estimation, while noting that current applications remain largely at the proof-of-concept stage and require rigorous validation before clinical deployment.
This phenomenological study of 17 older adults in Ghana's Ga West Municipality reveals that individuals living with stroke and hypertension actively engage in medical help-seeking and proactive recovery behaviors, underscoring the need for government investment in accessible, community-based multidisciplinary care centers to support their holistic rehabilitation.
This case report describes a 4-year-old boy with a rare congenital blind-ending dorsal prepubic sinus that, despite lacking a connection to the urinary tract, exhibited urethral-type histologic differentiation, supporting the theory that such anomalies may represent incomplete accessory urethral tracts treatable by complete surgical excision.
This longitudinal analysis of 5,875 children demonstrates that cast application, rather than the mere presence of a fracture, is the primary driver of radiographic surveillance burden in paediatric wrist injuries, supporting the implementation of tiered surveillance protocols to reduce unnecessary imaging.
This study suggests that robot-assisted adrenalectomy may mitigate the impact of the Mayo Adhesive Probability score on operative difficulty, making it a potentially advantageous surgical option for patients with high-risk perirenal anatomy compared to conventional laparoscopy.
This study demonstrates that serial myocardial enzyme levels, particularly LDH and α-HBDH, exhibit distinct "peak-at-day-3" trajectories in severe acute pancreatitis and that a derived Myocardial Injury Composite Index effectively predicts severe outcomes, especially in hypertriglyceridemic cases but not biliary ones.
This systematic literature review establishes that physician competence—specifically communication skills, professionalism, clinical ability, and patient-centered care—significantly drives patient satisfaction through the mediating role of perceived service quality, while highlighting critical gaps in research regarding Islamic hospitals, longitudinal designs, and integrative frameworks.
This study demonstrates that high-density, full-depth trans-cortical microperforation using a 0.5 mm needle effectively triggers endogenous BMP and VEGF gradients to drive significant self-sufficient bone regeneration in critical-sized defects without the need for exogenous grafts.
The BEAT-BX study demonstrates that long-term combination therapy with erdosteine and azithromycin significantly reduces the severity and duration of exacerbations, prolongs exacerbation-free intervals, and improves sputum rheology in bronchiectasis patients compared to standard care, while maintaining a favorable safety profile.
