This paper presents a reproducible workflow for constructing clinically labeled photoplethysmography (PPG) datasets from MIMIC-III, yielding distinct coronary artery disease (CAD) and broader cardiovascular disease (CVD) cohorts with quality-screened waveforms and patient-level clinical annotations to support future cardiovascular research.
This retrospective study of 90 Guinean men with advanced prostate cancer identifies a high ISUP score (≥3) as the sole independent predictor of developing castration resistance, underscoring the critical need for early histological diagnosis and prognostic stratification in this population.
This study of 97 patients at Marmara University found that orthognathic surgery yields high overall satisfaction (94.8%) and functional improvements for both Class II and Class III deformities, with outcomes largely independent of sociodemographic factors except for education's impact on speech satisfaction.
This study successfully translated and culturally adapted the Gait Outcomes Assessment List for Children with Lower-Limb Difference (GOAL-LD™) into German, demonstrating its excellent internal consistency and readiness for use in clinical practice and research to assess health-related quality of life in German-speaking children with lower-limb differences.
This longitudinal study of Shanghai from 2009 to 2024 reveals that while healthcare resource expansion has successfully improved population-based allocation equity, it has simultaneously exacerbated spatial and intra-district inequalities while reducing overall efficiency due to technological regression and urban-suburban structural mismatches, necessitating a strategic shift from scale-driven growth to quality-oriented development.
This retrospective study of 438 hospitalized Chinese children reveals that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered the epidemiology, clinical severity, and laboratory profiles of Epstein-Barr virus infections, shifting the pattern from primary infections during strict containment to increased viral reactivation and severe complications in the post-pandemic period.
This real-world natural experiment demonstrates that, even with identical mechanical ventilation systems, a 52% reduction in per capita spatial volume in hospital wards is associated with a six-fold increase in nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 transmission, establishing per capita volume as a critical, non-linear determinant of infection risk that warrants equal consideration with air exchange rates in hospital design standards.
This systematic review of 79 studies (2018–2026) highlights that while AI significantly enhances neurology, psychiatry, and neurosurgery through improved diagnostics and surgical precision, it also introduces substantial risks of misdiagnosis and bias—particularly in underrepresented populations and edge cases—necessitating strict error tracking, fairness audits, and human oversight to ensure safe clinical implementation.
This study demonstrates that treatment with *Withania somnifera*, either alone or in combination with green tea extract and curcumin, effectively mitigates benzene-induced leukemic injury in rats by restoring hematological parameters, preserving tissue architecture, and modulating Nrf2 and Caspase-3 expression, with the combination therapy showing superior efficacy in addressing oxidative stress and apoptosis.
A retrospective review of 79 NASA astronauts reveals that post-landing orthostatic intolerance is frequently treated with highly variable, non-standardized intravenous fluid volumes lacking evidence-based guidelines, highlighting an urgent need for physiology-informed protocols for future deep-space missions.
