This longitudinal study of the PONCH cohort reveals that children born to mothers with obesity exhibit progressively higher adiposity throughout preschool age compared to those born to mothers with normal weight or gestational diabetes, suggesting maternal obesity is a more sustained determinant of early childhood adiposity development than gestational diabetes.
A budget impact analysis suggests that integrating the non-invasive Gastric Alimetry® system into the UK NHS for diagnosing and managing chronic gastric symptoms could generate nearly £50 million in net cost savings over 5.4 years by significantly reducing hospital admissions, emergency visits, and other healthcare resource utilization compared to the current standard of care.
This case series of five patients demonstrates that zone 3 thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a feasible and safe endovascular treatment option for retrograde type A aortic dissection, achieving complete aortic remodeling with favorable early outcomes and no major complications in selected individuals.
This self-controlled cohort study reveals that highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) accelerate astigmatism progression exclusively in myopic children with low baseline astigmatism by disrupting the compensatory balance between corneal and internal astigmatism, without compromising the treatment's core efficacy in controlling axial elongation.
This study identifies low expression of the iron–sulfur cluster binding protein RFESD as an independent predictor of adverse clinical outcomes and immune-related dysregulation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, establishing it as a valuable prognostic biomarker.
This study reveals that 8% of ready-to-transfuse blood units at Ndola Teaching Hospital in Zambia contain *Plasmodium* parasites, predominantly *P. falciparum*, highlighting a critical, unmonitored risk of transfusion-transmitted malaria that necessitates the inclusion of malaria screening in national blood safety protocols.
This study provides the first clinical validation of the newly developed OHL-Ortho and OHB instruments, demonstrating their strong reliability and significant ability to predict factual knowledge, oral hygiene behaviors, and clinical periodontal outcomes in adult patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment.
This study evaluates ChatGPT's performance in generating postoperative FESS counseling, finding that while it offers acceptable reliability for standardized guidance with high inter-rater agreement on appropriateness, it exhibits limitations in contextual accuracy and readability that necessitate clinician oversight.
This pilot study demonstrates that while biofeedback-guided inhalation using electrical impedance tomography did not improve obstructive lung parameters (FEV1) in COPD patients, it significantly reduced hyperinflation (FRC) compared to standard inhalation, suggesting potential benefits for inhalation technique and lung volume management.
This large population-based study utilizing MIMIC-IV and EICU-CRD databases reveals that a higher atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is independently and non-linearly associated with increased 168-hour mortality in sepsis patients, with lactate metabolism and organ dysfunction serving as key mediating mechanisms.
