This cross-sectional study of 422 university students in Aden, Yemen, found a significant negative correlation between serum bilirubin levels and depression severity, suggesting that lower bilirubin concentrations are independently associated with higher depressive symptoms.
This systematic review of 24 studies involving approximately 10,000 traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine practitioners reveals that while they actively engage in health promotion—particularly regarding diet, physical activity, and stress management—their practice is shaped by capability, opportunity, and motivation factors, and is currently limited by inconsistent terminology and a need for greater integration into mainstream health systems to enhance their preventive roles.
This study demonstrates that anterior segment optical coherence tomography-derived Schlemm's canal cross-sectional area is a highly sensitive, non-invasive biomarker for detecting ocular hypertension in patients with thyroid eye disease, showing superior diagnostic performance compared to canal length.
This study demonstrates that "less sugar" comparative claims and misleading Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) metrics on large-volume soft drinks in Nigeria create a false sense of dietary safety by obscuring dangerously high absolute sugar payloads that exceed WHO limits, thereby exacerbating national obesity and dental caries rates and necessitating urgent regulatory reform by NAFDAC.
This study reveals that popular 125ml and 200ml fruit drinks in Nigeria contain sugar levels that drastically exceed WHO limits for children, with single servings providing up to 80% of the daily recommended sugar intake, thereby necessitating immediate enforcement of a zero-sugar marketing threshold by NAFDAC to protect public health.
This cross-sectional study of over 124,000 women in Cambodia and the Philippines reveals that while experiences of violence generally hinder HIV testing among married women, the relationship varies by marital status and is significantly influenced by women's autonomy, underscoring the need for violence-informed HIV strategies that address relational and structural barriers to ensure no one is left behind.
This realist-informed evaluation of the Austrian digital counseling tool "Alles Clara" demonstrates that it effectively supports family caregivers by fostering anonymous, person-centered relationships that alleviate isolation and empower both caregivers and nursing counselors through visible, meaningful professional practice.
The GRAINS-BP trial is a double-blinded, randomized, crossover study designed to determine whether high-amylose maize starch enriched with acetate and butyrate lowers blood pressure in hypertensive adults by modulating the gut-brain axis and reducing muscle sympathetic nerve activity.
This qualitative study in Dhaka's Korail slum utilizes the COM-B framework to reveal that while caregivers possess the knowledge and motivation for safe child feeding, their hygiene practices are primarily hindered by structural resource constraints and habitual reliance on sensory cues, necessitating interventions that combine environmental enablement with behaviorally informed strategies.
This study developed and validated an interpretable XGBoost-based machine learning model using MIMIC-IV and an external cohort that accurately predicts 30-day mortality in sepsis patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, outperforming existing prognostic tools by identifying key risk factors such as APS III, age, and SOFA scores.
