Percutaneous Endoscopic Interlaminar Discectomy For Lumbar Disc: Early Experience, Outcome and Complication: a Retrospective Observational Study With a Pre–Post Design

This retrospective observational study of 41 patients at H. Adam Malik General Hospital demonstrates that Percutaneous Endoscopic Interlaminar Discectomy (PEID) is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for lumbar disc herniation, significantly reducing pain and improving physical function with a low complication rate.

Analysis of Spontaneous Lens Tilt with Intrascleral Haptic Fixation using the Yamane Technique

This retrospective study of 138 eyes found that primary IOL removal via a scleral tunnel is a significant risk factor for secondary IOL tilt following the Yamane technique, though the resulting tilt did not adversely affect long-term visual acuity.

An Open, Reproducible Implementation of the CMS Hospital-Wide Readmission Measure on MIMIC-IV

This paper presents an open, reproducible reference implementation of the clinically accurate CMS Hospital-Wide Readmission measure on MIMIC-IV, demonstrating that faithfully applying its complex exclusion and stratification rules significantly alters the prediction target compared to naive definitions while providing a calibrated baseline model and resources for fair, leakage-controlled research.

Factors affecting oral health and hygiene among adult patients visiting a Saudi Arabian dental school: a cross-sectional study

This cross-sectional study of 148 adult patients at a Saudi Arabian dental school found that oral health-related quality of life is significantly influenced by Saudi nationality, subgingival calculus, and caries severity, while oral hygiene is primarily predicted by plaque and supragingival calculus.

Baloxavir and molnupiravir protect against severe influenza A(H5N1) infection in immunosuppressed hamsters

This study demonstrates that baloxavir, high-dose molnupiravir, and combination therapies effectively protect immunosuppressed hamsters against severe A(H5N1) infection by reducing viral burden and preventing neuroinvasion, highlighting their potential as critical treatments for vulnerable populations during a pandemic.

Concordance Between Molecular Techniques (like Multiplex PCR/BioFire) and Traditional Cultures – A Review

This review demonstrates that molecular diagnostic techniques like multiplex PCR and BioFire FilmArray systems exhibit high concordance with traditional culture methods while offering significantly faster turnaround times and improved detection of pathogens, particularly in patients previously treated with antibiotics, thereby enhancing clinical decision-making and antimicrobial stewardship.

Hip strength ratios and trunk-pelvis coordination during the soccer inside kick: a 1D-SPM analysis

This study demonstrates that velocity-specific, multi-planar hip strength imbalances in male soccer players are significantly associated with distinct, phase-specific trunk-pelvis and lower-limb coordination patterns during the inside kick, supporting the use of combined strength profiling and waveform analysis to characterize movement strategies relevant to groin loading.

Pandemics and the Epidemic of Heart Disease

This paper argues that the heart disease epidemic of the early 20th century was primarily caused by infectious pandemics in 1889 and 1918 that "primed" affected birth cohorts for later mortality, a factor deemed more significant than smoking or diet.
