Intraoperative Voluven is Associated with Reduced Anastomotic Leakage Without Increasing Acute Kidney Injury in Gastrointestinal Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study

This retrospective cohort study of gastrointestinal surgery patients found that intraoperative Voluven administration was associated with a significantly reduced risk of anastomotic leakage without increasing the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury or other complications compared to crystalloids alone.

The predictive value of transient time flow for perioperative cardiovascular events in OPCABG patients with diffuse lesions and the revascularization strategy for diffuse right coronary artery disease

This prospective study demonstrates that intraoperative Transit Time Flow Measurement (TTFM) parameters serve as significant predictors for perioperative myocardial infarction in OPCABG patients with diffuse coronary lesions and identifies Subcutaneous Vein Bypass Grafting (SCVBG) as a safer revascularization strategy than Endarterectomy (CE) for diffuse right coronary artery disease.

Expression and clinical value of NT-proBNP, GFAP, and HIF-la in inflammatory injury in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage

This study demonstrates that elevated levels of NT-proBNP, GFAP, and HIF-1α in serum and cerebrospinal fluid are significantly associated with inflammatory injury and poor prognosis in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, suggesting their potential clinical value as biomarkers for evaluating disease severity and outcomes.

Morphological Features of Deep Cervical Lymph Nodes: Potential Novel Markers for Assessing Parkinson’s Disease Severity

This study demonstrates that reduced size and altered morphology of deep cervical lymph nodes in Parkinson's disease patients correlate with impaired glymphatic function and disease severity, suggesting these lymph nodes serve as promising non-invasive biomarkers for assessing the condition.

3D Multiscan Stitching enables Large-Volume-Recording of Abdominal Ultrasound Imaging in Phantoms and Patients

This pilot study demonstrates that 3D multiscan stitching is technically feasible for generating standardized large-volume abdominal ultrasound datasets in phantoms, healthy volunteers, and patients with liver disease, enabling retrospective review and structured documentation while highlighting the need for further validation of geometric accuracy and diagnostic performance before broader clinical implementation.

Within-person increases in crisis-related distress track worsening adolescent depression, anxiety, and health-related quality of life – A post-COVID-19 longitudinal multilevel change analysis

This longitudinal study of German adolescents demonstrates that within-person increases in pandemic-related distress are significantly associated with concurrent worsening of depression, anxiety, and health-related quality of life, even after controlling for individual stressors and protective resources, highlighting the continued relevance of crisis-related distress for mental health in the post-pandemic era.

Effect of 1% Nanocurcumin Incorporation on the Flexural Strength, Solubility, and Water Sorption of Calcimol LC and TheraCal PT Pulp Capping Materials: An In Vitro Study

This in vitro study found that while incorporating 1% nanocurcumin into Calcimol LC and TheraCal PT pulp capping materials significantly reduced their flexural strength, it did not significantly alter their water sorption or solubility, with all tested materials still meeting acceptable criteria for clinical use.

The effect of undergraduate clinical training on dental students' perceptions of paediatric behaviour management techniques: a longitudinal cohort study

This longitudinal cohort study demonstrates that undergraduate clinical training significantly influences dental students' evolving perceptions of paediatric behaviour management, revealing a strong preference for communicative and reinforcement-based techniques over restrictive approaches while highlighting the need for curricula that explicitly integrate communication and ethical reflection.
