This study presents a hybrid explainable AI framework that integrates gradient boosting and survival analysis to achieve strong discrimination and calibration for early sepsis prediction, demonstrating significant clinical utility through actionable lead times and a favorable alert burden while identifying key physiologic instability markers.
This study demonstrates that while Dual Energy CT with multi-material decomposition shows moderate-to-good diagnostic accuracy for detecting moderate-to-severe hepatic steatosis and serves as a viable opportunistic screening tool, it systematically underestimates fat fractions and lacks the sensitivity required to replace MRI for quantifying mild disease.
This study demonstrates that the association between sensory impairments and dementia risk is largely dependent on their temporal sequence with frailty, as impairments emerging alongside or after frailty significantly increase risk while those preceding frailty show no independent association, suggesting that conventional estimates may overstate the direct impact of sensory loss on dementia by neglecting broader ageing-related vulnerability.
A cross-sectional study of 80 intraoperative staff at Mzuzu Central Hospital revealed that while most possessed adequate knowledge and perceived good sterile technique practices, a majority held negative attitudes toward these protocols, with sex significantly influencing both attitudes and practices, highlighting a need for strengthened training to mitigate surgical site infection risks.
This scoping review of 43 studies highlights the expanding applications of artificial intelligence in nailfold capillaroscopy for disease detection and quantification while underscoring significant barriers to clinical translation, including a critical lack of independent external validation, participant-level data separation, and open resources.
This cross-sectional study of 150 hospital nurses in the Philippines reveals that while the majority possess high awareness of AI, perceive significant benefits, and hold positive attitudes toward its adoption, they simultaneously express strong concerns regarding patient privacy and information accuracy, underscoring the urgent need for institutional governance, training, and clear usage policies to facilitate safe integration into nursing practice.
This paper argues that Nigeria should reject a literal adoption of the WHO AFRO Nutrient Profile Model in favor of a contextually adapted framework that balances public health goals with local food realities by incorporating phased restrictions, portion rules, and mathematical credits for mandatory micronutrient fortification.
This pilot study in rural Tanzania demonstrates that implementing a DHIS2 Tracker-based electronic tool significantly improved the completeness, accuracy, and legibility of antenatal care documentation compared to traditional paper-based systems, offering a viable solution to strengthen maternal health information systems in resource-limited settings.
This prospective randomized study concludes that while pedicled flaps offer shorter operative times and faster recovery for smaller Achilles tendon defects, both pedicled and free flaps are safe and effective reconstruction options with comparable functional and aesthetic outcomes, suggesting the choice should be guided by defect size and complexity.
This study integrates OECD-compliant QSAR modeling, molecular simulations, and experimental validation to identify apigenin-7-sulfate and genistein as promising plant-based COX-2 inhibitors with confirmed anti-inflammatory activity and favorable safety profiles.
