This study evaluates six cornflake brands available in Nigeria against the WHO African Region nutrient profile model and finds that five of them exceed sodium or sugar thresholds, rendering them ineligible for marketing to children and necessitating reformulation.
This study proposes and validates a novel, theory-grounded biomarker based on the aggregate conditional entropy of EEG microstate transition sequences derived from Markov modelling, demonstrating its ability to differentiate Alzheimer's disease from healthy controls and frontotemporal dementia with high interpretability and without reliance on MRI or deep learning.
This study utilizes data from the English Longitudinal Study on Ageing to develop and validate a psychometrically robust, multidimensional research tool consisting of five distinct frailty factors—Mobility/Severe Pain, Planning/Self Care, Depression, Moderate Pain/Movement/Arthritis, and Cardio-Metabolic—to facilitate accurate longitudinal assessment of frailty in aging populations.
While the 2023 policy removing user fees for maternal and neonatal care in Kinshasa, DRC, significantly increased service utilization, its effectiveness in improving health outcomes was constrained by systemic challenges such as staff shortages, supply stock-outs, and overcrowding, highlighting the need for parallel investments in health system capacity.
This mixed-method FRESHAIR study reveals that healthcare professionals in Kyrgyzstan hold negative perceptions and misbeliefs about chronic lung disease, leading to resource-constrained, experience-based care that varies by profession and setting, thereby highlighting the urgent need for targeted training and improved facility support.
This study demonstrates that combining electrocochleography and electrode impedance measurements significantly improves the objective monitoring of residual hearing after cochlear implantation compared to using either biomarker alone, confirming their complementary value in assessing cochlear health.
Despite Iran's high overall vaccination rates, this study reveals that Afghan immigrant and refugee children under 15 have significantly lower coverage for polio and measles vaccines compared to Iranian children, highlighting an urgent need for targeted interventions to address barriers faced by undocumented populations.
This study demonstrates that the antioxidant compound Ebselen significantly ameliorates hyperglycemia, weight loss, and oxidative stress in diabetic rats exposed to Fenton reagent and Bonny light crude oil, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for pollutant-exacerbated diabetes.
This study demonstrates that the Turkish adaptation of the Supportive and Palliative Care Indicators Tool (SPICT-TR) is a valid and reliable instrument for identifying patients with palliative care needs in Türkiye, showing high internal consistency and strong agreement with physician clinical assessments.
This nationwide propensity-matched cohort study in South Korea found that early-life severe or recurrent infections, quantified by frequent hospitalizations and cumulative exposure to antibacterial and antimycotic agents, are associated with an increased risk of subsequent neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, whereas antiviral exposure showed no such positive association.
