This study developed and validated a machine learning-based penalized nomogram using 14 routine preoperative and intraoperative variables to accurately predict postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung surgery, offering a practical tool for individualized risk stratification and prophylactic decision-making.
A cross-sectional study of 355 certified silicosis patients in Balesar Block, Rajasthan, reveals that 80.6% suffer from chronic respiratory disease symptoms, with continuous 8-hour daily work shifts and residing 6–10 km from quarries identified as the strongest independent predictors, underscoring the urgent need for stricter exposure limits and dust suppression measures.
A population-based survey in Jhargram, West Bengal, reveals that while cataract surgical coverage for blindness is high among tribal populations, significant gaps in effective coverage persist due to suboptimal surgical outcomes, gender disparities, and barriers such as lack of perceived need and fear of surgery.
This case report demonstrates that a structured 12-week physical therapy intervention delivered during hemodialysis sessions significantly improved functional strength, balance, and mobility in a young Ethiopian woman with end-stage renal disease, highlighting the potential of rehabilitation as an essential adjunctive care in low-resource settings.
A 2023 evaluation of the Pacific Public Health Surveillance Network (PPHSN) involving 149 respondents found that the network effectively strengthens regional surveillance and response through its six service arms, particularly as a communication platform and early warning system, while highlighting critical challenges in workforce retention, data reporting, and sustainable funding.
This paper proposes a transparent, multidimensional framework that identifies oncology early adopters under sparse real-world evidence by synthesizing clinical influence, patient opportunity, and therapeutic familiarity into a Euclidean readiness score, thereby enabling auditable prioritization for clinical education and evidence translation without relying on traditional labeled training data.
This five-year retrospective study at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital found that only a very small subset (0.01%) of patients received a cumulative effective dose exceeding 100 mSv from multiple CT scans in a single day, underscoring the need for continued monitoring and protocol optimization to ensure patient safety.
This multi-method evaluation demonstrates that a co-developed enhancement project in North and Central/East London successfully improved breast screening uptake and engagement among women with learning disabilities by addressing initial data and engagement gaps through targeted community collaboration, tailored health information, and accessible appointment systems.
This case report describes a rare instance of delayed recurrent arterial hemorrhage following free gingival graft harvesting caused by an atypical palatal vessel, which was successfully managed with a combination of oxidized regenerated cellulose and cyanoacrylate adhesive, underscoring the potential value of preoperative vascular mapping to prevent such complications.
This systematic review and meta-analysis of ten randomized controlled trials involving 1,231 patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that while a high-protein diet leads to a statistically significant but clinically modest reduction in C-reactive protein levels, further research is needed to confirm its practical significance.
