Effectiveness of lay counselor-delivered intervention for trauma-related symptoms in conflict- affected populations: a cluster randomized trial in Iraq

This cluster randomized trial conducted in Iraq demonstrates that a single session of lay counselor-delivered thought field therapy significantly reduces trauma-related symptoms and PTSD prevalence among displaced women compared to relaxation therapy, supporting its potential as an effective community-based intervention in conflict-affected settings.

Mortality and Renal Impairment in Critically Ill Patients across world regions over 2007 to 2024: a nutritionDay descriptive multivariable analysis

This large international multivariable analysis of over 23,000 critically ill patients from 2007 to 2024 identifies renal replacement therapy, advanced age, and illness severity as the strongest independent predictors of 60-day hospital mortality, while highlighting that the association between renal impairment and outcomes varies significantly based on the underlying disease causing ICU admission.

Triglyceride-glucose waist-to-height ratio and risk of arthritis among middle- aged and older Chinese adults: a national cohort study

This national cohort study of 5,372 middle-aged and older Chinese adults demonstrates that elevated triglyceride-glucose waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR) is independently and linearly associated with an increased risk of incident arthritis, suggesting it serves as a practical clinical tool for early risk stratification.

Comparison of early postoperative activity-related pain burden after conventional, navigation-assisted, and robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study based on 24-72 h pain area under the curve

This retrospective cohort study of 169 patients found that while both navigation-assisted and robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty reduced early movement-related pain compared to conventional techniques, robotic-assisted surgery demonstrated the lowest cumulative pain burden from 24 to 72 hours postoperatively.

Influenza-Associated Neurological Complications in Pediatric Patients: Clinical Characteristics, Outcomes, and Risk Stratification Using the Neuroinfluenza Severity Score  from the Multicenter TURK-INF Study

This multicenter study of 397 pediatric patients in Türkiye characterizes the clinical spectrum of influenza-associated neurological complications, finding that seizures are the most common manifestation with high recovery rates, and validates the Neuroinfluenza Severity Score (NISS) as a highly accurate tool for predicting poor outcomes and guiding early risk stratification.
