Although septicemia-related mortality declined overall between 2000 and 2020 with steeper improvements among Black populations, significant racial disparities persist across all age and sex groups, accompanied by a concerning rise in deaths among younger White adults.
A cross-sectional survey of 206 audiologists in India reveals that while adult aural rehabilitation is widely practiced, it remains predominantly device-centered with significant barriers including time constraints, lack of guidelines, and limited training, highlighting an urgent need for standardized protocols and enhanced multidisciplinary approaches.
This multicentre cross-sectional study of 1,921 clinical nurses in China reveals that their intention to use and actual adoption of generative artificial intelligence are significantly driven by perceived usefulness, ease of use, social influence, and trust, while being hindered by perceived risks, highlighting the need for strategies that enhance value and address safety concerns to facilitate AI integration in nursing practice.
This secondary data analysis reveals that Pakistan faces an alarmingly high burden of antimicrobial resistance driven by key pathogens like *Klebsiella pneumoniae* and *E. coli*, necessitating urgent policy interventions to strengthen surveillance, enforce prescription regulations, and scale up stewardship programs to address critical gaps in laboratory capacity and community access.
This paper reports two cases of rare nasopharyngeal epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma and reviews existing literature to demonstrate that surgical resection combined with adjuvant radiotherapy yields favorable outcomes for early-stage disease.
This study presents the design of an anatomical calcaneal external fixator based on 3D heel morphology data and reports its successful preliminary clinical application in treating high-energy calcaneal fractures with excellent functional outcomes and no complications.
This cross-sectional study of health sciences students in Oman reveals that despite adequate knowledge and positive attitudes toward fast food, a significant proportion of students are overweight or obese, with no statistically significant association found between these dietary factors and Body Mass Index, suggesting that obesity is multifactorial and requires interventions beyond simple nutritional education.
This study identifies PDIA6 as an independent prognostic biomarker in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that is upregulated in tumors, correlates with poor survival and advanced disease, and functions as an immune regulator by maintaining ER homeostasis and fostering an immunosuppressive microenvironment, particularly offering new insights into EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
This Australian study reveals that while the public holds low awareness of the formal term "citizen science," they are highly interested in participating in health and wellbeing research when presented with clearer language and personally relevant topics such as environmental health, mental wellbeing, and nutrition.
This systematic review and meta-analysis of 16 studies reveals that while antithyroid drugs, radioiodine, and surgery all improve quality of life for Graves' disease patients, each treatment excels in specific domains—such as surgery for goiter symptoms and emotional health, radioiodine for physical functioning, and antithyroid drugs for sex life—highlighting distinct trade-offs that can guide personalized clinical decision-making.
