Physiological strain and recovery-time modelling in amateur runners exposed to severe heat stress in Natitingou, northern Benin

This study on amateur runners in Natitingou, Benin, demonstrates that running during severe heat stress significantly elevates physiological strain, with recovery time to safe levels being substantially prolonged by high wet-bulb globe temperatures and insufficient fluid intake, thereby supporting the need to avoid midday training and prioritize shaded, hydrated recovery.

Epidemiology and Outcomes of Congenital Esophageal Atresia in Croatia: A Retrospective Population-Based Study

This retrospective population-based study of 101 cases in Croatia (2010–2020) reveals a stable esophageal atresia birth prevalence of 2.64 per 10,000 live births with a 11.9% 30-day mortality rate, noting that while outcomes align with European data, prenatal diagnosis remains critically low at 3%.

Whole-Brain Magnetic Susceptibility Alterations in Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy Associated With Hepatitis B Virus-Related Decompensated Cirrhosis

This study utilizes quantitative susceptibility mapping to reveal that whole-brain magnetic susceptibility abnormalities are distributed across multiple cortical regions in patients with hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis, with shared alterations in inferior frontal and superior temporal areas potentially serving as candidate markers for minimal hepatic encephalopathy.

Educational Stress and Depressive Symptoms among Undergraduate Medical Students: Dimensions, Correlates and Variation across Professional Year

This cross-sectional study of 466 Indian medical students reveals that educational stress is significantly associated with depressive symptoms, with the strength of this relationship varying across professional years and being most strongly driven by specific dimensions such as poor educational support and future-oriented concerns rather than a single total stress score.

Association between insulin resistance surrogate indices and incident chronic kidney disease among the population with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome stage 0-3: a cohort study

In a cohort of Chinese adults with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome stages 0–3, composite insulin resistance indices incorporating anthropometric measures (such as TyG-BMI and TyG-WHtR) demonstrated a more robust and independent association with incident chronic kidney disease than the triglyceride-glucose index alone, despite all indices showing limited predictive discrimination.

Can Video Laryngoscopy Enhance Direct Laryngoscopy Skills in Novice Medical Students? A Randomized Crossover Trial (ViDiLa)

This randomized crossover trial involving novice medical students found that while supervised video laryngoscopy training improved subsequent direct laryngoscopy performance compared to starting with direct laryngoscopy, it did not substitute for device-specific practice and initially proved more challenging than direct laryngoscopy itself.
