This study demonstrates that climate change adaptation behaviors, such as increased air conditioning use and spending more time indoors, may inadvertently elevate residential radon exposure and significantly increase lung cancer mortality risks in US and European populations.
This retrospective study of 147 esophageal cancer patients found that while a longer interval between neoadjuvant chemoradiation and esophagectomy was associated with a consistent, non-significant trend toward higher pathological complete response rates, the results do not definitively confirm the benefit of delaying surgery and warrant further investigation through prospective trials.
This retrospective study of 128 patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery suggests that Sampaio pelvicalyceal system anatomy influences surgical outcomes, with subtype B2 independently associated with significantly higher stone-free rates compared to subtype A1.
This study characterizes the clinical and laboratory profiles of children with primary immune deficiency disorders (PIDs) at BMU, revealing that antibody deficiencies and syndromic combined immunodeficiencies are the most common types among confirmed cases, while highlighting a significant diagnostic delay that underscores the urgent need for increased physician awareness and early referral to improve patient outcomes.
This study demonstrates that the hydrogen sulfide donor GYY4137 effectively mitigates radiation-induced lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis in mice by suppressing inflammation and macrophage accumulation, promoting a Th1-dominant immune response, and inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway.
This study demonstrates that in patients with rising PSA levels and prior negative biopsies, the combined interpretation of mpMRI and Ga68 PSMA PET/CT achieves high diagnostic concordance with histopathology, significantly improving the localization and detection of clinically significant prostate cancer.
This comparative cross-sectional study of 300 Chinese TikTok videos reveals that health information on hypertension and type 2 diabetes is generally of low quality, with medical professionals producing significantly better content than individual users and platform popularity proving to be an unreliable indicator of information reliability.
This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that substituting dinner with makhana-based roti significantly improves glycemic control, reduces insulin secretory demand, and decreases waist circumference in adults with type 2 diabetes compared to rice roti or usual diet, suggesting it as a culturally appropriate dietary adjunct for diabetes management.
In a large retrospective cohort study of adults with severe hyponatremia, baseline risk factors such as extremely low initial sodium levels, hypokalemia, and alcohol abuse were found to be significantly more predictive of osmotic demyelination syndrome than the rate of sodium correction, challenging the assumption that marginal differences in correction speed are the primary determinant of this complication.
Using data from the 2019 Nepal WHO STEPS Survey, this study reveals that socioeconomic factors drive hypertension in Nepal primarily through indirect pathways mediated by obesity and stress, highlighting the critical role of the nutrition transition and psychosocial factors in the country's rising cardiometabolic disease burden.
