Histopathologic correlation of nominal 0.4-T gadoxetic acid-enhanced hepatobiliary-phase MRI with image-domain deep-learning reconstruction in three mice with hepatocellular carcinoma

This research note demonstrates the technical feasibility of using nominal 0.4-T gadoxetic acid-enhanced hepatobiliary-phase MRI with image-domain deep-learning reconstruction to visualize hepatocellular carcinoma in three mice, though it confirms no improvement in lesion detection or diagnostic performance compared to standard imaging.

Dentoalveolar surgery education in Chinese undergraduate dental schools: a national survey of curriculum structure, simulation training and assessment

This national survey of 49 Chinese dental schools reveals that while dentoalveolar surgery education has established a framework centered on tooth extraction and local anesthesia, it faces significant challenges including a lack of course independence, inconsistent teaching hours, insufficient training in complex procedures, limited adoption of interactive digital tools, and an overreliance on theoretical assessment.

A Systematic Review of the Measurement of inpatient falls BMC Final

This systematic review of 103 studies reveals that inconsistent definitions, reporting methods, and unaccounted contextual factors like ward design and staffing levels undermine the validity of current inpatient fall metrics, necessitating a shift toward a systems perspective and Human Factors methodologies to improve patient safety.

Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection in Hospitalized Children: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Risk, Mortality, and Antimicrobial Resistance

This retrospective cohort study of hospitalized children in Tehran reveals that central line-associated bloodstream infections are common and linked to high mortality and multidrug resistance, with specific risks associated with cardiac ICU placement, femoral catheter use, and thrombocytopenia.

Long-term cardiovascular adverse events in liver transplant recipients with over 10 years of survival: incidence, temporal pattern and preoperative risk factors

This study of long-term liver transplant survivors reveals that preoperative hypertension is the sole independent predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events, which continue to occur significantly beyond the 10-year post-transplant mark, underscoring the need for lifelong cardiovascular surveillance and blood pressure management.

Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Second Molars with External Root Resorption Following Impacted Third Molar Removal: A Retrospective CBCT-Based Cohort Study

This retrospective CBCT-based cohort study demonstrates that while impacted third molar extraction alone effectively halts external root resorption and preserves pulp sensibility in affected second molars, adjunctive guided bone regeneration significantly enhances distal alveolar bone regeneration compared to extraction alone.

The FFA/ApoA1 ratio is an independent predictor of overall survival in nonobese patients with colon cancer: A retrospective study

This retrospective study demonstrates that the free fatty acid-to-apolipoprotein A1 (FFA/ApoA1) ratio is a significant independent predictor of overall survival specifically in nonobese patients with colon cancer, exhibiting superior prognostic value in this subgroup compared to obese patients or those with rectal cancer.
