This 2025 cross-sectional study of 2,433 men who have sex with men in Togo reveals a low PrEP follow-up rate of 15.5%, with higher attendance significantly associated with initiating a continuous regimen and starting care in Lomé rather than Aného.
This cross-sectional study of 167 women in Kakumiro District, Uganda, reveals a 61% loss to follow-up rate for cervical precancerous treatment, which is significantly driven by factors such as marriage, age (25–34 years), living more than 15 km from a facility, long waiting times, and inadequate staffing.
This study demonstrates that an 80-minute glucose breath test effectively identifies distinct hydrogen- and methane-dominant subtypes of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in irritable bowel syndrome patients, with hydrogen positivity correlating significantly with diarrhea-predominant IBS and methane positivity with constipation-predominant IBS.
This study argues that the Vietnam University Rankings (VNUR) function as a hybrid governance instrument that challenges the dominance of Anglo-American global ranking models by integrating international evaluative practices with nationally embedded priorities, thereby reshaping the foundations of institutional legitimacy in the Global South.
This study establishes a reproducible, caudal-view anatomical framework for laparoscopic segmentectomy by utilizing Laennec's capsule to guide the dissection and quantitative mapping of segmental Glissonean pedicles, thereby addressing anatomical variability and enhancing surgical precision.
This case report describes the first documented instance of imported ocular loiasis in Northeast China, where a 44-year-old man returning from Gabon was successfully diagnosed and treated for an adult *Loa loa* infection based on subconjunctival worm migration and marked eosinophilia despite negative blood smears.
This study demonstrates that deep transfer learning, particularly using the EfficientNetB7 and ResNet50 models optimized with data augmentation and cross-validation, achieves high-precision classification of oral squamous cell carcinoma histological images, offering a promising solution to improve diagnostic accuracy and address inter-pathologist variability.
This study demonstrates that the LHCGR rs2293275 GG genotype and G allele are significant risk factors for polycystic ovary syndrome in Iraqi women, strongly correlating with elevated AMH levels and menstrual irregularities.
In this single-arm, exploratory phase II study, the combination of adebrelimab, apatinib, and SOX chemotherapy (AASOX) demonstrated efficacy as conversion therapy for borderline resectable gastric cancer by achieving a 35.5% intention-to-treat R0 resection rate with manageable toxicity, warranting further multicentre randomized evaluation.
This multicenter study developed and externally validated a combined PET/CT radiomics and clinicopathologic model that demonstrates exploratory potential for stratifying recurrence-free survival risk in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients following neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy, though its incremental predictive value over standard clinicopathologic variables remains inconsistent and requires prospective validation.
