Subacute oral administration of aqueous *Blighia sapida* leaf extract up to 500 mg/kg in male Wistar rats was found to be generally non-toxic to hematological, hepatic, renal, and lipid profiles, though it induced oxidative stress and potential cholestasis at the highest dose.
This qualitative focus group study identifies multi-level drivers—including individual fears, family support, community norms, organizational barriers, and policy challenges—that influence colorectal cancer screening uptake in the Gaza Strip, highlighting the need for contextually appropriate, systemic interventions to improve early detection and reduce mortality in conflict-affected settings.
This longitudinal study of 173 Arlington, Virginia police officers found that participation in a wellness program significantly improved psychological well-being and stress coping styles over one year, though it did not significantly alter beliefs regarding mental health help-seeking or stigma.
This 10-year retrospective study of 1,115 liver transplant recipients reveals that early postoperative Gram-negative bacterial infections are predominantly multidrug-resistant with high carbapenem resistance, and that septic shock, renal dysfunction, lymphocytopenia, and a high MELD score are independent predictors of increased mortality.
This study demonstrates that CD62P is significantly upregulated in colorectal cancer tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues, and its high expression is strongly associated with lymph node and distant metastasis as well as advanced TNM staging, suggesting it serves as a valuable biomarker for assessing the malignant progression and metastatic potential of the disease.
This cross-sectional study of 150 married women with depressive complaints found that sexual dissatisfaction is independently predicted by marital life quality, sexual myths, education levels, and family attitudes toward sexuality, rather than by the severity of depression itself.
Using nationally representative data from the 2022 Bangladesh Health Facility Survey, this study reveals that while adolescent health services are widely available across Bangladesh, facility readiness remains inadequate due to significant gaps in infrastructure, guidelines, and trained staff, particularly in private facilities.
This retrospective study of 102 patients with nosocomial pneumonia reveals that those admitted from nursing homes exhibit a significantly lower lymphocyte/monocyte ratio, higher rates of multidrug-resistant infections, and longer hospital stays compared to those from home, suggesting that the lymphocyte/monocyte ratio serves as an independent predictor of respiratory failure severity and immune response in this population.
This study developed and validated the Digital Health Value-Acceptance of Technology (DHVAT) framework using data from 740 Saudi adults, revealing that the acceptance of AI physician chatbots for self-diagnosis is primarily driven by perceived self-management benefits and trust rather than raw diagnostic capability or direct risk accountability.
This single-center prospective study demonstrates that in-hospital cardiopulmonary comprehensive rehabilitation is safe and effective for elderly frail heart failure patients, significantly improving physical function, shortening critical care stays, reducing infection risks, and alleviating anxiety.
