Discontinuation of Antiseizure Medication Before Versus After Hospital Discharge Following Acute Symptomatic Seizures Related to Neonatal Encephalopathy: A Retrospective Cohort Study and Caregiver Survey

This retrospective cohort study and caregiver survey demonstrate that discontinuing antiseizure medications before hospital discharge for neonatal encephalopathy-related acute symptomatic seizures, compared to continuing them at discharge, significantly reduces neurology-related emergency visits, hospital readmissions, laboratory monitoring, and caregiver treatment burden.

Utility of Visual MRI Rating Scales in Differentiating Vascular and Alzheimer’s Dementia: Correlation with MoCA Scores

This study demonstrates that visual MRI rating scales, specifically Medial Temporal Atrophy for Alzheimer's disease and Small Vessel Disease for vascular dementia, serve as effective, reproducible tools for differentiating dementia subtypes and correlate significantly with cognitive impairment as measured by MoCA scores.

Low-Cost Simulation for Benign Anorectal Disease Management: A Pilot Curriculum

This pilot study demonstrates that a low-cost, simulation-based curriculum effectively improves general surgery residents' confidence and perceived educational value in managing common benign anorectal conditions, thereby helping to bridge early technical skill gaps despite not guaranteeing immediate procedural mastery.

Integrated microscopic and molecular diagnosis of imported mixed malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium ovalecurtisi: an Italian case report

This Italian case report describes the successful diagnosis and treatment of a 67-year-old man with a mixed *Plasmodium falciparum* and *Plasmodium ovale curtisi* malaria infection, highlighting the critical role of integrating microscopy, rapid antigen testing, and molecular assays to accurately identify complex co-infections in non-endemic settings.

Modelling the effects of seasonal malaria chemoprevention 1on malaria transmission dynamics in the presence of existing interventions in Nigeria

This study utilizes a deterministic compartmental model fitted to routine data from six Nigerian states to demonstrate that while Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) significantly reduces malaria morbidity beyond its targeted population, its overall effectiveness is critically dependent on underlying vector dynamics, necessitating integration with complementary vector control interventions for sustained impact.

Implementation and student outcomes of an implementation strategy for the sustainability of group evidence-based practices in schools

This hybrid type 2 cluster-randomized trial demonstrates that a "Prepare for Sustainment" strategy, combining initial training with ongoing coach supervision supported by external consultants, is more effective than usual practices in maintaining high process fidelity and improving student behavioral engagement and mental health outcomes for evidence-based programs in urban elementary schools.

Prevalence and Coping Strategies of Burnout among MBBS Students at a Medical College in Pokhara, Nepal: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the Maslach Burnout Inventory – Student Survey

This cross-sectional study of MBBS students in Pokhara, Nepal, reveals that while strict burnout affects 12.1% of students, nearly 90% exhibit at least one burnout dimension, with the highest prevalence occurring in pre-clinical years and a strong association found between maladaptive coping strategies and burnout symptoms.

Real- World Use of Complement Inhibitor Therapy in Critically Ill Children With Thrombotic Microangiopathy: Results From the Spanish Multicenter Matucip Registry.

This retrospective study of 40 critically ill Spanish children with thrombotic microangiopathy treated with complement inhibitors reveals that while half had suspected complement-mediated HUS, the other half received off-label therapy for other subtypes, with non-CM-HUS patients experiencing significantly later treatment initiation, more severe extrarenal manifestations, longer PICU stays, and higher rates of discharge hypertension.
