This study explores how health science academics conceptualize and teach person-centred practice, revealing that effective instruction relies on a complex interplay between experienced educators, an integrated curriculum, and active student engagement within a socio-cultural learning framework.
This retrospective study of 19 patients in Hangzhou, China, characterizes *Chlamydia psittaci* pneumonia as a condition marked by high fever, dry cough, and myalgia often linked to avian exposure, which can be effectively diagnosed via mNGS and successfully treated with doxycycline or omadacycline.
This critical realist-informed policy analysis of 45 Canadian drug strategy documents reveals that paramedic inclusion is fragmented and predominantly limited to emergency response contexts, highlighting a need for better policy alignment to leverage their potential in integrated, harm-reducing care models.
This study developed and internally validated a prediction model combining clinical and CT imaging features to effectively identify patients with acute intestinal obstruction who are at high risk of developing severe complications after failing conservative treatment.
This case report describes the successful management of a secondary aortoenteric fistula caused by an infected aortobiiliac graft in a patient with nonspecific aortitis through emergent graft explantation, duodenal repair, and in-situ reconstruction using a neoaortoiliac system (NAIS) conduit derived from autologous femoral veins.
This study comparing ultrasound-guided selective cervical intra-tubercular nerve root blocks with fluoroscopic-guided cervical interlaminar epidural injections in patients with lower cervical radiculopathies found that while both methods provided similar pain relief and functional improvement at three months, the fluoroscopic group demonstrated superior long-term outcomes at six and twelve months.
This study validates the Farsi version of the Fear of Food Measure for Adolescents (F-FOFM-A) in a large Iranian sample, confirming its reliability, three-factor structure, and strong validity for assessing fear of food and predicting eating disorder symptoms across different demographic groups.
By applying lag-adjusted functional connectivity analysis to resting-state fMRI data from 235 MDD patients and 284 healthy controls, this study reveals that depression is characterized not only by specific hyper- and hypo-connectivity patterns between sensorimotor and cognitive networks but also by a compressed inter-network timing that reflects altered neural coordination beyond simple connectivity strength.
This retrospective study of 309 women demonstrates that while bone turnover markers significantly increase during the menopausal transition, the coupling between bone formation and resorption remains balanced at a higher metabolic set point.
Based on data from the 2016–2023 National Survey of Children's Health, sport participation among U.S. children and adolescents declined significantly between 2016 and 2021 with a partial recovery by 2023, while persistent disparities across sex, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status highlight ongoing inequalities in access to sports opportunities.
