Lateral Violence and Its Relationship with Personality traits Among Emergency Department Nurses at Ardabil Medical Training Centers (2024)

This 2024 cross-sectional study of 243 emergency department nurses in Ardabil, Iran, reveals that lateral violence is highly prevalent and significantly correlated with specific personality traits, particularly noting that higher neuroticism and lower extraversion are associated with increased exposure to and underreporting of workplace aggression.

Absence of a Weekend Effect on In-Hospital Mortality in Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Multisite Study from an Integrated Health System

In a large retrospective study of over 7,600 patients within an integrated health system, weekend admission for upper gastrointestinal bleeding was not associated with increased in-hospital mortality or other adverse outcomes, suggesting that standardized 24/7 care pathways effectively eliminate the "weekend effect" in this condition.

Retatrutide Treatment in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats: Renal Inflammatory Cytokines, HIF‑1α Signalling, and Histopathological Injury Profile

This study demonstrates that while Retatrutide treatment in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats significantly attenuates HIF-1α upregulation and shows a non-significant trend toward reducing renal inflammation and histopathological injury, it does not yet confer overt structural renoprotection, suggesting that longer durations or chronic disease models are needed to confirm its therapeutic potential.

Misconceptions, Stigma, and Mpox Prevention and Control Practices in Sierra Leone: A Cross-Sectional Study

This cross-sectional study of 6,096 participants in Sierra Leone reveals that while misconceptions about mpox (such as viewing it as a divine curse or government propaganda) significantly undermine prevention and control practices, stigma does not independently affect these behaviors, highlighting the need for targeted risk communication to address false beliefs.

Integrated Multi-Cohort Transcriptomic Meta-Analysis and Molecular Docking Identify Core Dysregulated Hub Pathways and Therapeutic Ligands in Parkinson’s Disease

This study integrates multi-cohort transcriptomic meta-analysis and molecular docking to identify DRD2 and SLC18A3 as core hub genes for a novel Parkinson's disease diagnostic model and proposes donepezil and bromocriptine as potential therapeutic ligands targeting pyroptosis and neuroinflammation pathways.

Perioperative Considerations and Outcomes of the Hybrid Convergent Procedure for Atrial Fibrillation: A Prospective Observational Study

This prospective observational study demonstrates that the hybrid convergent procedure for atrial fibrillation offers a favorable perioperative profile with low major complication rates and short ICU stays, despite common early postoperative pericarditis and arrhythmias, while achieving meaningful long-term rhythm control in the majority of patients.

Occupational Sharps Injuries Among Healthcare Workers in Sub-Saharan Africa: Safety Practices, Risk Factors, and Professional Disparities at a Namibian Referral Hospital

A 2020 cross-sectional study at a Namibian referral hospital reveals that over half of healthcare workers experienced sharps injuries, with doctors reporting higher injury frequencies and lower safety compliance compared to nurses, highlighting the urgent need for targeted institutional interventions and improved workplace safety systems beyond mere awareness.
