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.
This study demonstrates that Mixed Reality exergames using the HoloLens 2 are feasible and equally usable for older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment compared to healthy older adults, showing no significant differences in system usability, motivation, or cybersickness.
This prospective observational study demonstrates that implementing a continuous in-hospital telemonitoring system in a surgical oncology ward significantly improved nursing efficiency by reducing routine assessments and perceived workload while increasing system usability and staff acceptance.
This cross-sectional study of 138 Austrian informal caregivers of stroke survivors reveals that restricted occupational balance is significantly associated with poorer health-related quality of life, particularly mental health, with the impact of task-related characteristics varying based on positive caregiving experiences.
This cross-sectional study of 390 older adults in Chinese long-term care facilities identified four distinct psychosocial-functional profiles among those with chronic subjective tinnitus, revealing a unique subgroup with low disability but high psychosocial vulnerability that underscores the need for comprehensive assessments beyond traditional disability metrics.
