This study of 157 open-heart surgery patients in a cardiovascular ICU found that sleep quality is primarily predicted by symptom burden (pain and fatigue) and environmental stressors rather than demographic or clinical characteristics, explaining 35.1% of the variance in sleep outcomes.
This pilot quasi-experimental study demonstrates that a structured nursing interventional package significantly reduces vascular symptoms and improves quality of life among pregnant women with pregnancy-induced hypertension, although its impact on perinatal outcomes requires further investigation with larger sample sizes.
This case report describes a patient with tuberous sclerosis complex and a heterozygous LRP5 variant who experienced progressive renal enlargement and cystic disease despite everolimus therapy, representing the first documented instance of this specific genetic association.
This qualitative thematic analysis of patient advocacy content from Action on Preeclampsia Ghana identifies key protective and resilience-promoting factors for maternal mental health in low- and middle-income countries, highlighting the critical roles of institutional support, healthcare system effectiveness, family networks, psychological counseling, and community education in mitigating the mental health challenges associated with preeclampsia.
This scoping review synthesizes evidence from 30 studies in sub-Saharan Africa to identify that comprehensive, community-driven strategies—particularly peer-led outreach, mobile health initiatives, and integrated youth-friendly services—are essential for improving HIV prevention service uptake among young women who sell sex, while highlighting a critical need for further interventional research in Central and West Africa.
This hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted in Bangladesh reveals that poor sleep quality is highly prevalent among women with endometriosis and is significantly associated with pain-related symptoms such as dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, and pelvic pain, highlighting the need for routine sleep assessments in clinical management.
Using 2024–2025 BRFSS data from 79,972 U.S. adults, this study finds that while perceived neighborhood safety does not influence whether households own firearms, living in perceived unsafe neighborhoods is significantly associated with a higher likelihood of storing firearms in a loaded and unlocked state.
This study presents a synergistic strategy using ultrasound-activated, protease-responsive microneedles loaded with piezocatalytic nanorods and CGRP to simultaneously eradicate bacterial biofilms, modulate the wound microenvironment, and restore neuroimmune signaling, thereby accelerating the regeneration of infected diabetic wounds.
This study demonstrates that a chitosan-based sublingual patch delivering a subunit influenza vaccine provides superior protection against infection in aged mice compared to traditional injections, likely by leveraging age-specific immune mechanisms involving enhanced B cell activation and neutrophil recruitment despite lower antibody levels.
This cross-sectional study of 2,452 Chinese adolescents reveals that higher resilience, along with shorter daily internet use and adequate sleep, serves as a protective factor against anxiety and depressive symptoms, highlighting the need for school-based resilience programs and lifestyle interventions.
