Influenza-Associated Neurological Complications in Pediatric Patients: Clinical Characteristics, Outcomes, and Risk Stratification Using the Neuroinfluenza Severity Score  from the Multicenter TURK-INF Study

This multicenter study of 397 pediatric patients in Türkiye characterizes the clinical spectrum of influenza-associated neurological complications, finding that seizures are the most common manifestation with high recovery rates, and validates the Neuroinfluenza Severity Score (NISS) as a highly accurate tool for predicting poor outcomes and guiding early risk stratification.

Predictive Factors of Castration Resistance in Prostate Cancer in Guinean Men : A Retrospective Study of 90 Cases

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.

Equity and Efficiency of Healthcare Resource Allocation in Shanghai, China: A Longitudinal Study from 2009 to 2024

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.

COVID-19 Pandemic Changes Epidemiology, Clinical Features and Laboratory Markers of Epstein-Barr Virus Infection in Children: A Three-Period Retrospective Study of 438 Cases

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.

Beyond Ventilation: The Non-linear Impact of Per Capita Spatial Volume on Nosocomial Respiratory Virus Transmission in Hospital Wards — A Real-World Natural Experiment

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.

AI Benefits and Machine Learning Errors - Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery

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.

Phytochemical-Based Protection Against Benzene-Triggered Leukemic Injury Through Hematologic Recovery, Tissue Preservation, and Nrf2/Caspase-3 Modulation in Rats

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.
