Integrating Vascular, Neurological, and Metabolic Factors into a Validated Nomogram to Predict 90‑day Outcomes after Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke

This study developed and validated an interpretable nomogram incorporating vascular, neurological, and metabolic factors to effectively predict 90-day functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy, demonstrating robust performance comparable to machine learning models while offering enhanced clinical transparency.

Population Ageing, Non-Communicable Disease Burden, and Financial Implications in Sri Lanka: A Secondary Data Analysis (2012–2024)

This secondary data analysis reveals that Sri Lanka is undergoing rapid demographic ageing with a 70.8% increase in its elderly population from 2012 to 2024, driving a significant rise in non-communicable disease burdens and a sharp increase in out-of-pocket health expenditures to 54.8%, thereby necessitating urgent, district-specific policy interventions to strengthen geriatric care and financial protection.

The Effects of Sugammadex in Experimental Organophosphate Toxicity: comparison with atropine and pralidoxime treatment

This experimental study on rabbits demonstrates that administering sugammadex, particularly in combination with standard atropine and pralidoxime therapy, significantly improves erythrocyte and tissue acetylcholinesterase activity compared to standard treatment alone in acute organophosphate toxicity.

Early prediction of 30-day mortality in critically ill patients with interstitial lung disease and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure: development and external validation of a clinically interpretable model

This study developed and externally validated a clinically interpretable, parsimonious model using six early non-treatment variables to predict 30-day mortality in critically ill patients with interstitial lung disease and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, finding that while adding treatment-related variables improved discrimination, the baseline model offered superior overall predictive accuracy and remains the preferred tool for early risk stratification despite moderate external performance.

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Physical and Sexual Violence against People Who Inject Drugs in Iran :A Nationwide Survey in 2023

A 2023 nationwide survey of 2,361 people who inject drugs in Iran reveals alarmingly high rates of physical (27.0%) and sexual (15.1%) violence, which are significantly associated with structural vulnerabilities like homelessness and low income, as well as specific risk factors such as mental disorders and female gender.

Association between the Infant and Child Feeding Index (ICFI) and nutritional status of children aged 6 to 35 months in Coastal Cities of Fujian Province, China

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.

Baseline malnutrition-inflammation-anemia phenotype and longitudinal immune- inflammatory burden are associated with mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a retrospective cohort study with public transcriptomic context

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.
