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.
This mixed-methods study in Anambra State, Nigeria, reveals that while transformational leadership positively influences maternal healthcare, rural-urban inequities and structural limitations result in low overall service utilization, with only 33.1% of women accessing the full continuum of care.
This cross-sectional study of 467 parents in Sana'a, Yemen, reveals that while a majority complete routine childhood vaccinations, significant hesitancy persists due to safety concerns and misinformation, highlighting the need for targeted communication strategies and healthcare worker training.
This retrospective study of 14,883 hospitalized community-acquired pneumonia patients demonstrates that a three-tier blood lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) scale effectively stratifies mortality risk, with higher LDH levels significantly correlating with increased in-hospital and 30-day mortality rates as well as longer hospital stays.
