This cross-sectional survey reveals that despite the widespread existence of workplace violence prevention policies in healthcare settings, these measures are largely perceived as ineffective and fail to address the crisis of underreporting, prompting calls for enhanced security, stricter enforcement, and better administrative support.
This randomized clinical trial found that for adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia undergoing induction chemotherapy, following food safety guidelines resulted in similar infection rates and nutritional outcomes compared to the restrictive neutropenic diet, while offering a less burdensome and more adherent dietary approach.
This randomized controlled study demonstrates that a comprehensive nursing intervention significantly improves quality of life and nursing quality scores in children with recurrent medulloblastoma undergoing chemoradiotherapy, while also highlighting the influence of socioeconomic factors and nursing resources on care outcomes.
This study demonstrates that an external control arm constructed from harmonized historical clinical trial data using propensity-score matching can accurately reproduce the overall survival treatment effect observed in a randomized controlled trial for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, supporting the utility of such methods when high-quality patient-level data are available.
This mixed-methods study in southern Benin reveals a substantial burden of leprosy-related stigma among both affected individuals and community contacts, identifying active screening, late diagnosis, and rural residence as key determinants that necessitate targeted, culturally sensitive interventions to mitigate psychosocial consequences.
This multicenter retrospective study in Turkey demonstrates that geographic and climatic factors, particularly high temperatures and prolonged sunshine, significantly influence tolvaptan tolerability and biochemical responses in patients with ADPKD, suggesting that environmental parameters should be considered for individualized dose adjustments to improve safety and adherence.
In a retrospective 2-year comparative study of 107 eyes, horizontal scleral tunnel orientation was associated with superior 2-year refractive predictability and reduced intraocular lens tilt compared to vertical orientation in flanged intrascleral fixation, though the non-randomized design limits these findings to hypothesis-generating conclusions.
This systematic review of 16 studies across six low- and middle-income countries indicates that multi-component workplace interventions are the most effective strategy for improving cardiovascular risk profiles among employees, despite challenges such as high attrition rates and a moderate-to-high risk of bias in the existing literature.
In a multi-center retrospective cohort study of 349 hepatocellular carcinoma patients in China, moderate participation in an integrated WeChat-based telemedicine and psychological counseling program was associated with statistically significant improvements in depression, quality of life, distress, and sleep at 12 months, although these gains generally fell short of established clinically meaningful thresholds and the observational design limits causal inference.
This nested case-control study within the CARTaGENE cohort found no substantial overall evidence that job strain increases breast cancer risk among Quebec women over a 10-year period, though a positive association was observed specifically among women in the lowest income group.
