This retrospective study demonstrates that language barriers between physicians and patients significantly increase the rate of nondiagnostic outcomes in thyroid fine-needle aspiration procedures, likely due to miscommunication and reduced patient compliance.
This retrospective cohort study of 1,583 women of advanced maternal age reveals a non-linear dose-response relationship between gestational weight gain and composite adverse pregnancy outcomes, identifying optimal weight gain ranges of 9–12 kg for normal-weight/underweight women and 7.5–10 kg for overweight/obese women, which are notably lower than current Institute of Medicine guidelines.
This case report highlights the critical role of preoperative cardiac computed tomography in diagnosing circumflex aortic arch and identifying the compressing ligamentum arteriosum to guide successful surgical intervention in two pediatric patients presenting with symptomatic vascular rings.
Using high-resolution satellite data from 2014 to 2023, this study reveals an 86% surge in wetland extent across the Sahel and East Africa driven by recent climatic shifts, a transformation that has permanently altered regional flood baselines and poses urgent socio-ecological challenges to major cities, refugee camps, and agricultural systems.
This paper reviews the mechanical engineering aspects of robotics by modeling manipulators and mobile platforms, evaluating the performance of classical and modern control strategies like PID, LQR, and MPC through MATLAB/Simulink simulations, and concluding with their industrial applications and future research directions.
In a longitudinal study of primary school-aged children in East London, sleep problems were found to significantly predict lower subsequent physical, psychological, and socioemotional wellbeing, whereas ADHD symptoms did not independently predict later wellbeing after controlling for prior levels and sleep issues.
This study reveals that despite high community awareness of wetland benefits, Okole Wetland in Lira City is severely degraded primarily due to alcohol production, necessitating strengthened community-led conservation efforts.
This paper presents X-WAF, a hybrid machine learning framework that combines an ensemble of classifiers with SHAP-driven explainability to achieve high-accuracy, low-latency detection of zero-day web attacks while automatically translating insights into actionable ModSecurity rules for seamless integration into existing security infrastructures.
This national cohort study from Uruguay demonstrates that ribociclib combined with endocrine therapy provides meaningful survival benefits for patients with advanced HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer in real-world practice, with hepatic metastases and treatment line identified as independent predictors of worse overall and progression-free survival, respectively.
This community-based mixed-method study in rural central India reveals that while 67% of pregnant women comply with iron and folic acid supplementation, adherence is significantly hindered by forgetfulness, gastrointestinal side effects, and health system challenges, necessitating targeted counseling and improved support to reduce maternal anemia.
