This systematic review of 546 post-bariatric patients indicates that long-term weight loss shifts hemostasis from a prothrombotic state to a less coagulable, more fibrinolytic condition, suggesting a potential hidden coagulopathy that warrants further investigation despite the lack of immediate clinical bleeding risk.
This study in Dodoma, Tanzania, reveals that overweight and obese pregnant women, despite consuming diets linked to both improved hemoglobin and increased cardiometabolic risks, frequently fail to meet micronutrient recommendations and neglect essential supplements.
This qualitative study conducted in La Réunion reveals that while parents are intuitively aware of endocrine disruptors during the perinatal period, they face significant challenges due to contradictory information and media-driven sources, highlighting an urgent need for reliable, unbiased, and accessible health guidance.
This study presents an open-source, lightweight YOLOv8-based diagnostic system for prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma that achieves high accuracy in Gleason grading and lesion detection while offering a cost-effective, locally deployable alternative to expensive commercial and closed-source AI solutions.
This retrospective cohort study of 1,594 severe subarachnoid hemorrhage patients demonstrates that higher Time in Range (TIR) is an independent, potent protective factor against short- and long-term mortality, an association partially mediated by reduced systemic inflammation and most pronounced in non-septic patients.
This qualitative study conducted in Gorkha District, Nepal, identifies multi-level barriers—including geographical inaccessibility, competing household responsibilities, and health system constraints—as the primary drivers of low Growth Monitoring and Promotion (GMP) service utilization, while highlighting community support and service integration as key facilitators for improving uptake.
This secondary analysis of data from 54 Nigerian tertiary hospitals reveals that teenage pregnancy, which has a national prevalence of 3.5% and is concentrated in the North, is associated with significant socio-demographic disadvantages and significantly increased risks of preeclampsia/eclampsia and adverse perinatal outcomes compared to non-teenage pregnancies.
This case report describes a 16-year-old Ghanaian female who was successfully treated for Varicella-Zoster Virus encephalitis mimicking an acute stroke, highlighting the critical importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for viral encephalitis in patients with vague neurological symptoms to ensure timely antiviral intervention and prevent severe morbidity or mortality.
This retrospective cohort study reveals that circadian rhythm sleep disorders are significantly associated with an increased risk of open-angle glaucoma, a risk that appears to be mitigated by melatonin use.
This study demonstrates that increased preoperative ultrasonographic gallbladder wall thickness is significantly associated with longer operative times, more frequent intraoperative events, extended hospital stays, and higher rates of postoperative complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, suggesting its utility as a predictor for surgical difficulty and perioperative planning.
