Postoperative C-reactive protein for detecting anastomotic leakage after elective laparoscopic colorectal resection: a prospective cohort study

This prospective cohort study demonstrates that a postoperative day 4 C-reactive protein level above 137.3 mg/L is a highly sensitive and specific marker for detecting anastomotic leakage after elective laparoscopic colorectal resection, outperforming trajectory-based metrics but showing reduced accuracy in patients with protective diverting stomas.

Readiness of Medical Students to Use Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education: A Cross-sectional Study

This cross-sectional study of 225 medical students at Izmir Katip Celebi University reveals a moderate level of readiness to use artificial intelligence in medical education, characterized by neutral-to-positive attitudes and a significant need for structured training to enhance cognitive, skill-based, foresight, and ethical competencies.

Neural Inflexibility and Temporal Fragmentation of Sensory-Attention Networks in Migraine with Aura: A Hidden Markov Model Study

This study utilizes Hidden Markov Modeling on resting-state fMRI data to reveal that interictal migraine with aura is characterized by temporal inflexibility and fragmentation of sensory-attention networks, specifically marked by reduced dwell time in sensory-attention coupling states and a shift toward rigid, high-demand attentional control configurations that correlate with increased disease disability.

Comparison Of Surgical Microscope-Assisted Gum Drop Surgical Technique Versus Conventional Gum Drop Surgical Technique Using T-PRF in the Management of Gingival Recession: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Study

This randomized controlled clinical study demonstrates that the surgical microscope-assisted Gum Drop Technique using T-PRF offers superior early stabilization, enhanced precision, and improved patient comfort compared to the conventional technique for managing Miller's Class I and II gingival recession, while both methods achieve comparable long-term root coverage outcomes.

Facilitators and barriers influencing the provision of prehospital care following road traffic accidents in Rwanda: A Descriptive qualitative study

This descriptive qualitative study of 20 prehospital providers in Rwanda identifies key facilitators such as training, leadership, and community collaboration, alongside significant barriers including resource shortages, traffic congestion, and weak inter-agency coordination, which collectively influence the quality and timeliness of emergency care following road traffic accidents.

A foundation-model-powered AI system with post-read alerts and concurrent assistance improves gastric biopsy diagnosis across 29 pathological categories

This study presents a data-efficient, foundation-model-powered AI system capable of classifying 29 gastric biopsy categories that, when deployed through both concurrent assistance and post-read alert paradigms, significantly improves diagnostic sensitivity for malignancy and metaplasia while identifying missed cases in routine practice.

Vessel-specific quantitative plaque characteristics on coronary CT angiography for prediction of FFR-defined myocardial ischemia

This study demonstrates that vessel-specific quantitative plaque characteristics derived from coronary CT angiography provide incremental predictive value for FFR-defined myocardial ischemia beyond stenosis severity, with particularly strong improvements in discrimination for the left anterior descending and right coronary arteries.

Clinical workload dimensions, multidimensional physician well-being, and turnover intention across primary healthcare facilities and hospitals in China: a cross-sectional study

This cross-sectional study of 1,324 Chinese physicians reveals that distinct clinical workload dimensions, including long working hours, frequent night shifts, and high outpatient volumes, are significantly associated with diminished multidimensional well-being and increased turnover intention, highlighting the need for differentiated workload management strategies beyond total hours to support workforce retention.

Electronic Health Records and Interprofessional Collaboration: A Constructivist Grounded Theory of Information Exchange in Inpatient Care

Through a constructivist grounded theory study of inpatient care, this paper reveals that Electronic Health Records often function more as profession-specific repositories than as effective interprofessional coordination tools, necessitating informal workarounds to bridge the gap between system design and the collaborative information quality needs of clinical teams.
