This cross-sectional study of 8,195 older adults reveals that approximately 31% exhibit a discrepancy between their subjective and objective fall risk, with overestimation linked to female gender and psychological distress, while underestimation is associated with male gender and poorer physical mobility, highlighting the need for targeted, multidimensional fall prevention interventions.
This single-center retrospective cohort study of 17,903 patients identifies older age, higher BMI, longer operative time, and specific procedures (sacrocolpopexy, radical prostatectomy, and cholecystectomy) as key risk factors for surgically treated trocar-site hernia, while finding no significant association with common comorbidities.
This cross-sectional study of 365 medical and allied health students in Ibadan, Nigeria, reveals that while AI is widely adopted for academic purposes and shows a modest independent association with higher cognitive reflection, its frequency of use does not significantly impact psychological well-being, which appears more influenced by institutional context.
This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that a structured blended educational intervention significantly reduces internalized shame and enhances sexual self-esteem in women with anogenital warts, supporting the integration of targeted psychoeducation into standard clinical care.
This retrospective cohort study of 275 patients demonstrates that intra-operative bony interference during shockwave lithotripsy significantly reduces single-treatment success rates and increases the need for re-treatment, highlighting the critical importance of optimizing patient positioning to avoid bony structures.
This retrospective single-center study of 24 patients found that while intraoperative diagnosis of iatrogenic ureteral injury led to more frequent immediate definitive repairs compared to postoperative diagnosis, both groups achieved comparable long-term urological outcomes.
In a diverse urban cohort, sleeve gastrectomy resulted in an earlier weight loss nadir but significantly less total weight loss compared to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, highlighting the need for procedure-specific postoperative management strategies.
This study demonstrates that machine learning models predicting metabolic syndrome using only demographic and dietary data achieve modest accuracy, with performance significantly improving only when waist circumference—a direct component of the syndrome's clinical definition—is included, highlighting the critical need to distinguish between diagnostic classification and genuine risk prediction in composite clinical outcomes.
This study evaluates how plain-language prompting affects Turkish responses from ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude regarding return to daily activities after knee arthroplasty, finding that while readability and understandability improved, completeness and treatment-information quality often declined, highlighting the need for professional review before using such AI-generated guidance.
This retrospective cohort study using propensity score matching demonstrates that the severity of hypertension, rather than the mere diagnosis, is positively correlated with increased hidden blood loss in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty, with significant differences observed in grade 2 and grade 3 hypertension compared to non-hypertensive or grade 1 patients.
