This scoping review of 99 articles reveals that while clinical academic training opportunities for nurses exist globally, their dissemination remains unclear, critical support structures like managerial backing and mentorship are poorly defined, and significant gaps persist regarding funding, resources, and career pathways.
This cross-sectional analysis of 4,706 adults in the Kanagawa ME-BYO cohort reveals distinct sex- and age-specific patterns in lifestyle behaviors and associated clinical risk factors, highlighting the critical need for personalized disease prevention strategies that account for both biological sex and gender-related life-stage differences.
This pilot study demonstrates that incorporating low-cost, patient-specific 3D-printed kidney models into preoperative education significantly improves living donor and recipient understanding of kidney transplantation procedures, though it did not significantly reduce anxiety levels.
This nationwide study utilizing the Nationwide Readmissions Database (2016–2021) reveals that patients with substance use disorder undergoing cardiac implantable electronic device implantation experience significantly higher rates of readmission, complications, and discharge against medical advice compared to those without substance use disorder, highlighting the need for multidisciplinary management strategies.
A hospital-based study conducted at Jowhar Regional Referral Hospital in Somalia reveals a high prevalence (57.8%) of neonatal anemia, characterized by significant moderate-to-severe cases and diverse morphological patterns, which is strongly predicted by maternal factors such as lack of antenatal care, maternal anemia, and hypertension, as well as neonatal factors like low birth weight and prematurity.
This retrospective cohort study of 1,008 cancer patients in Peru found that while overall survival rates were similar between groups, inhalation anesthesia was associated with a statistically higher mortality risk compared to total intravenous anesthesia after adjusting for multiple clinical and sociodemographic factors.
This double-blind randomized controlled trial demonstrates that continuous direct current (galvanic current) is an effective, noninvasive treatment for reducing sweating and improving quality of life in women with primary palmar hyperhidrosis compared to a sham intervention.
This retrospective study of 80 eyes in a North Indian tertiary center demonstrates that while surgical intervention using inverted ILM flap or routine techniques improves anatomical and visual outcomes for both large (500–1000 µm) and massive (>1000 µm) idiopathic macular holes, patients with large holes achieve significantly better postoperative visual acuity and anatomical closure rates compared to those with massive holes.
This study demonstrates that the accuracy of PolyJet 3D-printed tracheobronchial models compared to CT source images is significantly influenced by segmentation thresholds (with −300 to −400 HU yielding optimal results) and patient-specific factors including BMI, age, sex, and CT reconstruction kernels.
This retrospective cohort study of 119 patients with paranasal sinus and nasal cavity malignancies characterizes their diverse histopathology, clinical presentation, and treatment modalities to demonstrate that thorough evaluation of patient and tumor factors can optimize survival outcomes, achieving a 5-year overall survival rate of 48.9%.
