A cross-sectional study in Northeast Brazil demonstrates that four-sample sputum pooling with Xpert Ultra offers high diagnostic accuracy and significant cost-efficiency for tuberculosis screening among people deprived of liberty, supporting its scale-up to expand TB detection in prison settings.
This study developed and validated systems thinking tools, specifically causal loop diagrams and an iceberg model, to synthesize evidence on community-level barriers and leverage points, thereby equipping stakeholders with actionable frameworks to address complex challenges in Veteran health and safety.
This study developed and internally validated a routine metabolic screening model for hyperuricemia among gas station workers in Guangxi, China, using four easily accessible variables (sex, waist circumference, triglycerides, and HDL-C) that demonstrated good discrimination and calibration without relying on serum uric acid or renal function indicators.
This mixed-methods study analyzes the 2009–2026 evolution of China's non-public hemodialysis sector through a novel Regulation–Response–Feedback–Adjustment (RRFA) model, revealing how state-guided collaborative governance and iterative policy-market interactions have driven the industry's transition from experimental exploration to high-quality transformation.
This qualitative study of 21 ICU nurses in China utilizes the COM-B model to identify how capability, opportunity, and motivation factors interact to shape complex pain management behaviors, highlighting the need for context-specific interventions to address practice variations.
This retrospective cohort study utilizing the MIMIC-IV database reveals that higher early admission HALP scores are significantly associated with increased risks of in-hospital, 30-day, and 90-day mortality among ICU patients with acute aortic dissection.
A cross-sectional survey of 142 gynecological practices in Germany's Rhine-Main region reveals that while most clinicians recognize hidradenitis suppurativa, they inconsistently apply guideline-recommended severity classifications and comprehensive management strategies, highlighting a critical need for targeted education and improved interdisciplinary care pathways.
This quasi-experimental study demonstrates that a structured, three-month Learning Management System (LMS) training program significantly improved the knowledge and practice of 82 ICU nurses regarding clinical alarm management, with notable enhancements in institutional requirements, alarm management, and related domains, thereby supporting the efficacy of digital educational interventions for patient safety.
Despite expressing strong interest in research, medical students in Burundi face significant barriers such as low confidence and a lack of mentors, resulting in limited direct participation that necessitates strengthened mentorship and structured support mechanisms to enhance their research engagement.
This study utilized a Delphi method and focus group discussions to develop and preliminarily validate a systematic, consensus-based narrative nursing competency training programme for clinical nurses in China, which was found to be feasible and well-structured despite the need for further empirical evaluation of its effectiveness.
