This retrospective study of 60 patients demonstrates that open arthrolysis with osteocapsular debridement and concomitant ulnar nerve transposition provides significant short-term improvements in range of motion, pain, and function for severe elbow stiffness secondary to primary osteoarthritis, with a favorable safety profile.
This study demonstrates that analyzing open official data from Ukraine's National Health Service provides an objective, evidence-based method for evaluating the impact of humanitarian health interventions in armed conflict, revealing that while clinical mortality rates remained statistically unchanged, the interventions significantly enhanced institutional financial resilience and emergency care capacity in Kharkiv hospitals.
This prospective study of 40 patients in Cartagena (2024–2025) reveals that infectious corneal ulcers are predominantly fungal in etiology, often associated with vegetative trauma, and characterized by low antimicrobial resistance, underscoring the need for empirical antifungal coverage and localized diagnostic strategies to improve clinical outcomes.
This study demonstrates that applying a combined clinical decision rule requiring cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis (>10 leukocytes/mm³) or elevated protein (>50 mg/dL) to guide the use of the FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis panel can significantly improve diagnostic yield by 55.4% while reducing unnecessary testing by 40.1% in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients.
In a retrospective study of 35 patients with moderately to poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma, [18F]-FAPI-42 PET/CT demonstrated significantly superior detection rates for viable tumors compared to [18F]-FDG PET/CT, particularly for intrahepatic lesions and distant metastases to the peritoneum, lung, and bone, while [18F]-FDG showed higher sensitivity for lymph node metastases.
In a standardized patient field experiment across 62 Chinese primary care institutions, AI chatbots outperformed physicians in diagnostic accuracy and patient-centered communication but significantly increased the risk of low-value care by recommending excessive tests and inappropriate medications.
This exploratory study utilizing SHAP-based machine learning found that resting-state heart rate variability has limited and unstable discriminative utility for distinguishing chronic pain–depression–anxiety comorbidity subtypes, particularly pain-depression and pain-anxiety dominant presentations, suggesting it is insufficient as a standalone biomarker for such classification.
This propensity-matched cohort study demonstrates that in morbidly obese patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, a modified curved lateral skin incision significantly reduces wound complications, shortens hospital stays, and decreases anterior knee hypesthesia compared to the standard midline approach, while maintaining equivalent long-term functional outcomes.
This study demonstrates that early increases in apparent diffusion coefficient (ΔADC) during concurrent chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer are strongly associated with tumor volume regression and can help identify patients for adaptive replanning, although replanning at the 15th fraction did not consistently offer dosimetric advantages over the 20th fraction.
This case report describes a young woman who developed aquaporin-4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica triggered by varicella-zoster virus reactivation, who achieved significant neurological recovery following a comprehensive treatment regimen of antivirals, corticosteroids, plasmapheresis, and rituximab.
