Neuropsychological and Autonomic Correlates of Chronic Stress in Dermatological Patients: A Comparative Analysis of GABAergic Therapy Regimens

This prospective study of 100 dermatological patients with chronic stress demonstrates that while both systemic and combined systemic-topical GABAergic therapies effectively restore autonomic balance and neuropsychological function, the combined approach may offer a potential advantage in accelerating the normalization of peripheral microcirculation and central neurodynamics.

Longitudinal plasma metabolomics identifies metabolic signatures of early recurrence and platinum resistance in advanced ovarian cancer

This study utilizes longitudinal plasma NMR metabolomics to identify specific metabolic signatures associated with early recurrence and platinum resistance in advanced ovarian cancer, demonstrating that combining these metabolic biomarkers with clinical data significantly improves prediction accuracy compared to clinical factors alone.

Seizure Prophylaxis Versus Epilepsy Prevention After Acquired Brain Injury: A Cross-Sectional ClinicalTrials.gov Registry Analysis, 2000-2026

This cross-sectional analysis of ClinicalTrials.gov records from 2000 to 2026 reveals that the research landscape for seizures following acquired brain injury is fragmented, with significant conflation between acute seizure prophylaxis and long-term epilepsy prevention, necessitating future trials that clearly distinguish these endpoints and improve reporting standards.

Assessment of the implementation level of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) for the prevention of antimicrobial resistance in referral hospitals: the case of Kamenge University Teaching Hospital (CHUK), Gitega Regional Hospital, and Natwe Turashoboye Hospital in Karusi, Burundi

This cross-sectional study of three referral hospitals in Burundi reveals that Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) implementation levels are critically insufficient, with global scores ranging from 31 to 42 out of 100 and significant deficits in governance, surveillance, and workforce qualifications.

AI in the clinic: a scoping review of AI and clinical expertise

This scoping review of 58 empirical studies from 2022 onwards indicates that while AI tools significantly enhance physician clinical performance—particularly for novices—current evidence does not support fears of AI-induced deskilling, though further longitudinal research is needed to fully assess long-term impacts on clinical expertise.

Lower Serum Free Triiodothyronine is Independently Associated with Isolated Left Anterior Descending Coronary Slow Flow：A Cross-Sectional Study

This cross-sectional study demonstrates that lower serum free triiodothyronine (FT3) levels are independently associated with and show moderate predictive value for isolated left anterior descending coronary slow flow, suggesting a potential link between thyroid hormone deficiency and coronary microvascular dysfunction.

Physician Performance and Inpatient Satisfaction: A Systematic Literature Review

This systematic literature review synthesizes existing research to demonstrate that physician performance—specifically communication skills, professionalism, clinical competence, and patient-centered care—significantly influences inpatient satisfaction through the mediating role of perceived service quality, while also highlighting gaps in studies regarding Islamic hospitals, longitudinal designs, and integrative conceptual frameworks.

Can a constrained AI clinical decision-support pipeline generate meal plans rated as highly as dietitian-designed plans? A blinded professional evaluation

A blinded professional evaluation of 54 dietitians found that meal plans generated by a constrained AI pipeline were rated as highly as, and in some domains higher than, those designed by human dietitians, with evaluators unable to reliably distinguish between the two sources.

Incidence and Detection of ESC-Defined Cardiotoxicity Among Early-Stage Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Anthracycline-Based and Anti-HER2 Therapy in Qatar

This study of 133 early-stage breast cancer patients in Qatar reveals a high incidence (69.2%) of ESC-defined cardiotoxicity following anthracycline and anti-HER2 therapy, with the majority of cases being asymptomatic and detected primarily through global longitudinal strain and biomarker elevation rather than traditional ejection fraction decline, underscoring the critical need for multimodal surveillance in this population.
