Endocrine toxicity associated with anti - neoplastic drugs: a pharmacovigilance analysis based on the FDA adverse event reporting system database

This pharmacovigilance study analyzing over 40,000 FAERS reports identifies robust safety signals linking anti-neoplastic drugs, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors like pembrolizumab and ipilimumab, to endocrine toxicity, highlighting a higher prevalence in females and a tendency for early onset to underscore the need for enhanced clinical monitoring.

Supply and Demand Constraints Generating Health Policy and Systems Research in Cambodia: A Qualitative Institutional Analysis

This qualitative institutional analysis of Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR) in Cambodia identifies critical supply and demand constraints, including limited local capacity, low domestic demand for evidence, and donor dominance, which collectively hinder the generation of contextually relevant, evidence-informed health policies and underscore the urgent need for strengthened local ownership and resource allocation to ensure sustainable system learning.

Willing but unable? Knowledge producers and users’ knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) in translating research evidence into health policy and practice in Guinea, 2025

This 2025 mixed-methods study in Guinea reveals a paradox where health stakeholders hold positive attitudes toward evidence-informed decision-making yet face significant structural barriers, such as poor communication channels and misaligned incentives, which severely limit the actual translation of research into health policy and practice.

Interpretable Concept-Bottleneck Vision-Language Model Predicts Pathologic Complete Response From Longitudinal Breast DCE-MRI

This study presents an interpretable concept-bottleneck vision-language model that predicts pathologic complete response in breast cancer patients using longitudinal DCE-MRI data by routing predictions through radiologist-recognizable imaging concepts, thereby achieving generalizable performance while transforming a black-box task into a transparent and auditable clinical tool.
