Clinical, functional, and radiological profile of fibrotic interstitial lung disease at high altitude: a registry-based cohort from two referral centres in Bogotá, Colombia (2,600 metres above sea level)

This registry-based cohort study characterizes the demographic, clinical, functional, and radiological profiles of 148 patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease at high altitude in Bogotá, Colombia, revealing connective tissue disease as the most common etiology and highlighting a significant association between clinical symptoms and radiological findings that may be influenced by altitude-related physiological adaptations.

Pressure-Controlled vs Volume-Controlled Ventilation in Da Vinci Robot-Assisted Urological Surgery with Clasp-Knife Position: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

This prospective randomized controlled trial demonstrates that pressure-controlled ventilation is superior to volume-controlled ventilation for Da Vinci robot-assisted urological surgery in the clasp-knife position, as it significantly lowers peak inspiratory pressure and improves dynamic lung compliance while maintaining hemodynamic stability.

Mechanism and control of strong ground pressure in shallow buried ultra-large mining height working face with directly overlying double key strata

This study investigates the mechanism of strong ground pressure in shallow buried ultra-large mining height faces with double key strata through field observation and simulation, establishing a theoretical support resistance model and demonstrating that hard roof pre-splitting effectively reduces fracture intervals and stress concentration to ensure stable mining conditions.

Construct type and instrumented level influence clinical recovery, motion preservation, and mechanical events after lumbar stabilization: a retrospective level-stratified cohort study

This retrospective cohort study demonstrates that while dynamic and hybrid lumbar stabilization constructs yield superior pain and disability outcomes with better motion preservation and reduced adjacent-segment hypermobility compared to rigid fixation, fully dynamic systems carry a higher risk of rod fracture in multilevel configurations, suggesting hybrid constructs may offer an optimal balance between clinical efficacy and mechanical durability.

Gut microbiome composition does not predict pregnancy complications among obese women: a nested case-control study in Sweden

In a Swedish nested case-control study of obese pregnant women, gut microbiome composition was found to be a poor predictor of pregnancy complications, with pre-pregnancy BMI and socioeconomic status identified as the primary drivers of metabolic risk instead.

Association of the VExUS Score with Right Atrial Pressure and Organ Dysfunction in Acute Heart Failure and Cardiogenic Shock

In a prospective study of patients with acute heart failure or cardiogenic shock, the Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score demonstrated a strong correlation with invasive right atrial pressure and provided incremental value in identifying hepato-renal dysfunction, supporting its role as a complementary tool for congestion phenotyping alongside invasive hemodynamic assessment.

Oyster Mushroom Fortification Improves Nutritional and Sensory Quality of Polished Maize-based Complementary Food

Substituting polished maize flour with 10–20% oyster mushroom flour significantly enhances the protein, mineral, and overall nutritional density of complementary foods for children while maintaining sensory acceptability comparable to the unfortified control.

Anterior High-Edge Polyethylene Liner Reduces Dislocation Rates in Dysplastic Hips Following Direct Anterior Approach Hip Arthroplasty

This study suggests that anteriorly positioning the high-edge of a polyethylene liner during direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty for developmental dysplasia of the hip may reduce postoperative dislocation rates and improve 6-year prosthesis survival, although the reduction in dislocations did not reach statistical significance.

Comparison of Visual Prostate Symptom Score with the Arabic International Prostate Symptom Score in Assessing Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Egyptian Men; A Prospective study

This prospective study of 400 Egyptian men demonstrates that the Visual Prostate Symptom Score (VPSS) strongly correlates with the Arabic International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) while offering significant practical advantages in ease of administration, speed, and patient preference, making it a valid alternative for assessing lower urinary tract symptoms, particularly among populations with varying literacy levels.
