This case report describes a young woman who developed aquaporin-4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica triggered by varicella-zoster virus reactivation, who achieved significant neurological recovery following a comprehensive treatment regimen of antivirals, corticosteroids, plasmapheresis, and rituximab.
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.
This study demonstrates that combining M-mode ultrasound and Tissue Doppler imaging to assess neonatal diaphragmatic function provides superior predictive accuracy for successful mechanical ventilation weaning compared to using either modality alone.
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.
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.
This cross-sectional study demonstrates that fetal epicardial fat thickness is significantly elevated in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus and serves as a highly accurate, non-invasive diagnostic marker with a 1.5 mm cut-off yielding 94% sensitivity and 93% specificity.
This study demonstrates that Ganoderic acid A alleviates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in mice by inhibiting ferroptosis through the upregulation of NLRP3, which subsequently activates the Nrf2/GPX4/SLC7A11 signaling pathway.
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.
This study proposes and validates a 3D-printed supramesocolic laparoscopic simulator for choledochoduodenostomy, demonstrating that repeated practice on the model significantly improves surgical skills and reduces procedure time.
This multi-sectoral surveillance study in Burkina Faso reveals a high and varied prevalence of ESBL-producing *Escherichia coli* across human, animal, and environmental sectors, with blood culture isolates showing the highest antibiotic resistance, thereby underscoring the urgent need for enhanced hygiene, integrated surveillance, and rational antibiotic use under the One Health approach.
