This prospective study of 464 cervical cancer patients in Zambia found that prior screening was significantly associated with younger age, higher socioeconomic status (lower SDOH scores), and HIV-positive status, highlighting the critical role of social determinants and HIV care integration in screening uptake.
This study demonstrates that S-(-)-limonene incorporated into stable nanoemulsions and nanoemulgels exhibits significant antibacterial activity against *Klebsiella pneumoniae*, supporting its potential as a candidate for treating skin wound infections.
This study developed a reproducible in vitro model using standardized acrylic resin to demonstrate that daily immersion in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite or 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate significantly reduces *Candida albicans* biofilm loads compared to water controls, providing a validated framework for evaluating denture-cleansing agents prior to clinical application.
This cross-sectional study of 491 children in five Zambian districts reveals that while vaccination coverage appears adequate among those with records and health workers are the primary information source, the widespread lack of vaccination documentation and reliance on recall highlight critical gaps in monitoring and the need for strengthened record-keeping systems to improve measles outbreak preparedness.
This study introduces and temporally validates the Marqi Index, a transformer-based ensemble model that achieves a 0.807 AUROC for predicting 30-day AMI readmissions using only deidentified, structured EHR and claims data, thereby addressing the lack of benchmarks for this specific data environment and outperforming existing structured-data approaches.
This paper introduces real-time, macroscopic shortwave infrared (SWIR) Raman imaging, a label-free technique that overcomes traditional autofluorescence limitations to provide high-contrast, MRI-like chemical visualization of tissue dynamics, disease markers, and critical anatomical structures for improved surgical guidance and pre-clinical diagnosis.
This systematic review and meta-analysis of 145 studies demonstrates that higher satellite-derived greenness, closer proximity, and greater accessibility to greenspace are all significantly associated with increased physical activity, suggesting these distinct exposure metrics represent complementary pathways supporting active living.
This case report describes a rare instance of otogenic pneumococcal meningitis and ventriculitis in a young man that mimicked subarachnoid hemorrhage on non-contrast CT, ultimately leading to full neurological recovery following appropriate antimicrobial and supportive treatment.
This prospective observational study of 262 complicated urinary tract infection episodes managed in a Hospital-at-Home programme demonstrates high clinical cure rates and low unplanned transfers despite a significant burden of multidrug-resistant organisms, while identifying older age and prior urological manipulation as key risk factors for 30-day readmission or death.
This study demonstrates that combining local moderate pelvic hyperthermia with autologous HSP70 peptide complexes significantly enhances antitumor efficacy in rats by promoting tumor cell apoptosis, inhibiting proliferation, and upregulating immune responses compared to either treatment alone.
