OBJECTIVES: Patients with infrainguinal peripheral arterial disease often undergo multiple revascularisation procedures. Although many centres have adopted an endovascular first approach, some are reluctant to do so for fear of compromising the outcomes of any subsequent bypasses. All studies that compared the outcomes…

Neonatal sepsis is a systemic response to a bacterial infection within the first 28 days of life. Diagnosis remains a challenge due to the subtle and nonspecific signs, often resulting in the use of empirical antibiotics and their associated risks. This systematic review aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy and clin…

Radiology reports are typically written as unstructured free text, limiting their potential for applications like automatic analysis, clinical trial matching, and outcome prediction. The adoption of structured reporting remains low due to established workflows, resource constraints, and concerns about information loss.…

BACKGROUND: Neonatal pain has been underdiagnosed due to several false beliefs. AIM: To determine the status of neonatal pain in newborns who are admitted to intensive care units. METHODS: Different databases were searched. Literature reviews and research reports conducted in newborns that were written in English, Sp…

Solutions of the real-time time-dependent density functional theory (RT-TDDFT) equations provide an affordable route to understanding the electronic dynamics that underpins many spectroscopic techniques. From the solutions of the RT-TDDFT equations, it is possible to extract optical absorption and circular dichroism sp…

Invited for the cover of this issue are the group of Iwona and Jean-François Nierengarten from the University of Strasbourg (LIMA, UMR 7042, CNRS) and collaborators from the University of Carthage and the IPHC (University of Strasbourg and CNRS, UMR 7178). The image illustrates the fast motions of a pillar[5]arene…

The unprecedented growth of high-throughput sequencing has led to an ever-widening annotation gap in protein databases. While computational prediction methods are available to make up the shortfall, a majority of public web servers are hindered by practical limitations and poor performance. Here, we introduce PANNZER2…

Three Problem List Terminologies (PLT) were tested using a web-based application simulating a clinical data entry environment to evaluate coverage and coding efficiency. The three PLTs were: the CORE Problem List Subset of SNOMED CT, a clinical subset extracted from the full SNOMED CT and the PLT currently used at the…

To obtain a full and unrestricted license to practice medicine in the United States, students and graduates of the MD-granting US medical schools and of medical schools located outside of the United States must take and pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination. United States Medical Licensing Examination be…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: External clinical teaching visits (ECTVs) involve direct observation of general practice registrar consultations with patients, performed by independent general practitioner (GP) educators. The aim of this study was to describe engagement with, and perceived utility of, ECTVs by GP …

RATIONALE: Around 30% of the infertile women worldwide have associated Fallopian tubes pathology. Unfortunately, for a long time, this aspect of infertility has been neglected due to the possibility of bypassing this deadlock through IVF. OBJECTIVE: Up to date free full text literature was reviewed, meaning 4 major te…

The data resources provided by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) cover major areas of biological and biomedical research, giving free and open access to users ranging from expert to casual level. The EBI Search engine provides a unified metadata search engine across these resources. It provides a full-te…

Present worldwide healthcare researches prove that female patients are more sensitive to the population aging. Menopause or climacteria (climax) - is not as ageing itself, but a physiological unstoppable process. The main task for a physician is to improve life quality for female despite of ageing problems. Menopausal…

UNLABELLED: The goals of hospitalist programs in the United States include improving the quality of care, patient safety, the efficient use of resources and reducing the variation in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Hospitalist medicine aims to bring together the concepts of provision of evidence-based medicine a…

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D has traditionally been recognized for its role in calcium homeostasis and skeletal health, but vitamin D receptor expression and vitamin D-metabolizing enzymes have also been identified in extra-skeletal tissues, including components of the male reproductive tract. Observational evidence has sugge…

PURPOSE: This paper aims to synthesize health-care leaders' experiences of the competencies required for crisis management. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The systematic review followed the joanna briggs institute (JBI) guidance for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence. The search strategy included free text words…

Background One controversial issue in the relationship between oral care and cardiovascular diseases is how and whether to manage oral infections prior to cardiovascular surgery or other cardiovascular invasive procedures. Design We designed a systematic review to assess the information available on three main question…

BACKGROUND: UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase/ManNAc 6-kinase, GNE, is a bi-functional enzyme that plays a key role in sialic acid biosynthesis. Mutations of the GNE protein cause sialurea or autosomal recessive inclusion body myopathy/Nonaka myopathy. GNE is the only human protein that contains a kinase domain belonging to the R…

Longitudinal birth cohort research provides a glimpse into the biological and social trajectories of a cohort of people, which helps us to better understand how to improve health and social outcomes. While qualitative longitudinal, ethnographic, and other qualitative research methods are increasingly used to capture co…

The prevalence of suicide attempts and suicidal ideation among university students is a global concern. Cultural values, social determinants, religion, and especially growing stress all play an important role in this. This systematic review aimed to identify potential protective and risk factors thought to be associate…
