This quasi-experimental study conducted in Qom, Iran, demonstrates that an eight-session cognitive-behavioral therapy educational program significantly reduced fear of childbirth and improved knowledge and attitudes among pregnant women compared to those receiving routine prenatal care.
This paper proposes a novel framework for osteoporosis screening using plain radiographs that combines entropy-guided adaptive block division, DNA-inspired symbolic encoding with CGR/FCGR features, and a hybrid HTGCA-Net deep learning model to achieve high accuracy in both binary and multiclass classification tasks.
This study developed and validated a machine learning model using five readily available clinical parameters (NLR, AST, BUN, CysC, and plasma PQ concentration) that accurately predicts acute kidney injury in paraquat poisoning patients, demonstrating superior performance compared to the traditional Severity Index of Paraquat Poisoning (SIPP) score.
This retrospective study of non-oncological palliative inpatients found that admission neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and mean platelet volume were not independently associated with pressure ulcer presence or stage, a null result attributed to the confounding effect of pre-existing chronic wounds in a referral-based setting and highlighting clinical risk scores as the primary actionable correlates.
This non-randomized controlled study found that while a telemedicine platform for rare disease patients and caregivers did not significantly improve quality of life or depression compared to in-person care, it substantially increased treatment satisfaction and reduced healthcare costs, despite facing technical and administrative implementation barriers.
This retrospective study of eight immunocompromised patients in Jiangxi Province characterizes *Candida auris* infections as occurring predominantly in individuals with invasive procedures and prior broad-spectrum antibiotic exposure, often co-occurring with Gram-negative bacilli and associated with poor outcomes despite antifungal treatment.
This multicenter cross-sectional study of over 8,000 Chinese patients with central nervous system disorders reveals that residing in higher-tier cities independently predicts more severe disability, a macro-environmental risk that is significantly exacerbated for low socioeconomic status individuals but buffered for those with high socioeconomic status.
This retrospective comparative study demonstrates that combining intramedullary nailing with plate fixation for femoral shaft nonunion significantly shortens the time to authorized and effective full weight-bearing compared to isolated exchange nailing, without compromising union rates or increasing septic complications.
This single-centre study of 85 patients with Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratoderma characterizes the disease's clinical heterogeneity, including its association with atopic dermatitis and renal abnormalities, and expands the known genotypic spectrum of *SERPINB7* while identifying specific demographic and genetic patterns.
This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that daily docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation significantly improves cognitive function in older Chinese adults with mild cognitive impairment, an effect that is partially mediated by the modulation of ferroptosis-related biomarkers.
