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.
This study demonstrates that a deep learning model trained exclusively on carpal bones from left-hand X-rays, with specific preprocessing techniques, achieves accurate bone age assessment (8.38 ± 0.39 months MAE) on the RSNA dataset, proving that the carpal region alone encodes sufficient information for evaluating children's growth.
This study analyzes 13 years of data from 14 SADC countries using GMM and Random Forest models to identify infant mortality, under-5 mortality, HIV prevalence, and GDP per capita as key determinants of life expectancy, projecting continued regional growth with significant disparities through 2027 while recommending targeted health interventions to address these gaps.
This systematic review synthesizes evidence from 2020 to 2025 to demonstrate that adult asthma arises from the cumulative and interacting effects of behavioral, environmental, socioeconomic, and biological determinants across the life course, rather than from isolated risk factors.
This multilevel cross-sectional study of 502 healthcare workers in Aden, Yemen, reveals a significant gap between favorable attitudes and poor biomedical waste management practices, identifying previous training and facility-level support as critical predictors of safe practices in conflict-affected settings.
This paper describes a six-phase, rule-based payer-side medical audit architecture designed for Colombia's SOAT claims system, which integrates documentary and clinical validation with mandatory human review to address regulatory fragmentation while preserving source-level traceability.
This case report describes a 70-year-old man who developed acute limb ischemia shortly after spinal decompression for presumed neurogenic claudication, revealing that mildly reduced preoperative ankle-brachial indices in high-risk patients should trigger vascular imaging to prevent missed aortoiliac occlusive disease and perioperative thrombotic decompensation.
