Multimodal Imaging Features of Leiomyomatosis Peritonealis Disseminata: A Retrospective Analysis of 34 Cases

This retrospective analysis of 34 female patients characterizes the multimodal imaging features of Leiomyomatosis Peritonealis Disseminata (LPD), revealing that while its appearance closely mimics uterine leiomyomas and frequently leads to misdiagnosis, integrating a history of prior myomectomy with specific ultrasound, CT, and MRI findings can significantly improve preoperative diagnostic accuracy.

Hypertension in India: Shared Metabolic and Heterogeneous Social and Behavioural Correlates Across Regions and Sexes

This study of over 756,000 Indian adults reveals that while hypertension is consistently linked to metabolic factors like obesity and high blood glucose across all regions and sexes, its social and behavioral correlates vary significantly by geography and gender, highlighting the need for context-specific prevention strategies.

Asynchronous Modules on Transgender, Gender Diverse, and Intersex Patient Care in an Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship: A Retrospective Pre-Post Study

This retrospective pre-post study demonstrates that implementing brief, required asynchronous modules on transgender, gender diverse, and intersex patient care within an obstetrics and gynecology clerkship significantly improved medical students' self-reported knowledge, comfort, and clinical vignette scores.

Instructional Skills Workshops Improve Clinical Teachers' Self-Efficacy, but Only Some Gains Track Feedback Experience_ A Two-Cohort Study 

This two-cohort study demonstrates that while an Instructional Skills Workshop significantly and replicably boosts clinical teachers' self-efficacy across student engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management, only gains in the first two dimensions are consistently associated with specific feedback experiences, suggesting classroom management improvements may stem from other sources.

Impact of robotic access and dedicated kidney surgery teams on nephron-sparing surgery for T1 renal masses: Evidence from a Spanish multicenter registry

Based on a Spanish multicenter registry, access to robotic-assisted surgery significantly increased the utilization of partial nephrectomy for T1 renal masses—particularly cT1b tumors—while dedicated kidney surgery teams were associated with fewer cases recorded as technically infeasible despite not independently increasing partial nephrectomy rates after stratification.

Hematoprotective and Genoprotective Effects of Graded Vitamin C Supplementation in Benzene-Induced Pre-Leukemic Rats

This study demonstrates that graded oral supplementation of vitamin C (100–1000 mg/kg) provides potent, dose-dependent hematoprotective and genoprotective effects against benzene-induced bone marrow failure, pancytopenia, and pre-leukemic changes in rats, with the highest dose effectively restoring blood parameters and reducing circulating blasts to near-control levels.

Methodological approaches to developing clinical prediction models to predict multiple long-term conditions, a systematic review

This systematic review of three studies published since 2023 reveals that while various complex methodologies have been applied to predict multiple long-term conditions, the field remains nascent and limited by high risk of bias, sub-optimal validation practices, and a lack of external validity, highlighting an urgent need for further rigorous investigation and methodological comparison.

Scoping Review of Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome: Is it COVID-19 Virus or the Vaccines?

This scoping review aims to synthesize global evidence to determine whether Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS) is more closely associated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus or COVID-19 vaccinations, utilizing the JBI protocol and PRISMA-ScR guidelines to analyze data from multiple major databases and health organizations.

Advanced Spatial Clustering for Mapping Child Stunting and WaSH Determinants in Low and Middle Income Countries

This scoping review synthesizes evidence demonstrating that advanced spatial clustering methodologies reveal critical subnational inequalities in child stunting driven by WaSH determinants, arguing that shifting from national averages to high-resolution precision mapping is essential for optimizing targeted global health interventions.
