This study reveals that chemosensory alterations in anorexia nervosa are not merely primary sensory deficits but are intricately linked to higher-order executive functioning through distinct, subtype-specific patterns that differ significantly from those in healthy individuals and weight-restored patients.
This randomized crossover study demonstrates that high-flow oxygen delivered via an endotracheal tube, particularly with smaller expiratory ports and higher flow rates, generates beneficial pressure-dependent physiological effects—including improved lung volume, oxygenation, and reduced dynamic stress—while maintaining inspiratory effort comparable to post-extubation levels, positioning it as a promising alternative to T-piece strategies for spontaneous breathing trials.
Despite high overall vaccine acceptance in Germany following 2024–2025 wastewater poliovirus detections, limited risk communication achieved only moderate reach and failed to close vaccination gaps, particularly among parents with populist political orientations who exhibited lower trust and uptake.
This retrospective study of 1,581 children reveals that non-monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis is frequently underdiagnosed because daytime voiding symptoms of overactive bladder are unreported in 40% of cases, highlighting the critical need for targeted assessment to distinguish these patients from those with monosymptomatic enuresis and guide optimal therapy.
This study utilizing a nationally representative database found that while laparoscopic and open excision of choledochal cysts in preschool-aged children yield similar short-term complication rates, the laparoscopic approach offers superior perioperative recovery, reduced resource utilization, and shorter hospital stays.
This retrospective study of 586 breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy identifies residual nodal involvement, inflammatory breast cancer, and HER2-positive or triple-negative subtypes as independent predictors of earlier brain metastasis development, suggesting a need for further investigation into targeted screening for these high-risk groups.
This paper presents two case reports of male infants with persistent fifth aortic arch and multisystem congenital anomalies, emphasizing the importance of accurate cross-sectional imaging for diagnosis and distinguishing this rare, often non-obstructive anomaly from other arch defects requiring intervention.
This comparative cross-sectional study found that mothers of children with Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), particularly severe cases, reported a lower self-perception of positive oral health compared to mothers of children without MIH, while higher maternal education levels were associated with a more positive oral health self-perception.
Tetrastigma hemsleyanum protects against sepsis-induced intestinal injury in rats by modulating the gut microbiota–macrophage–TLR4/NF-κB axis, which suppresses inflammation, promotes M2 macrophage polarization, and restores intestinal barrier integrity.
This case report describes a 65-year-old man who experienced recurrent transient arousal failure and ocular motor signs with initially negative DWI scans, ultimately diagnosed as an Artery of Percheron infarction, highlighting the critical need to prioritize clinical localization and serial imaging over normal early MRI findings when suspecting posterior-circulation stroke.
