Upper-body peripheral arterial return is used during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), but its clinical tradeoffs versus femoral return are uncertain. We reviewed observational studies comparing upper-body to femoral arterial return for peripheral VA-EC...

Developmental and adult neurotoxicity are hard to assess with conventional in vitro assays, which rarely account for how a chemical actually distributes once inside the body. Biomimetic chromatography offers a practical way to fill that gap, using stationary phases that mimic pho...

We propose a new analytical approach based on ordinal pattern analysis to investigate respiratory heart rate variability (RespHRV, also called respiratory sinus arrhythmia), specifically modulation of heart rate across different phases of the respiratory cycle. The method uses RR...

Influence of Demographic Factors on Presentation, Symptoms and Function in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral nerve entrapment disorder and a leading cause of pain, sensory disturbances, and functional impairment of the hand. Although carpal tunnel release (CTR) is an established treatment, the influence of demographi...

Beyond B cells: T and Innate Immune Mechanisms of Autoimmunity in Common Variable Immunodeficiency
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most prevalent symptomatic primary immunodeficiency, affecting approximately 1 in 25 000–50 000 individuals. Although classically characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and recurrent bacterial infections, over 50% of patients develop...

Background/Objectives: Histopathology-correlated evidence for preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in penile cancer remains limited. We evaluated multiparametric MRI with artificially induced erection for local and nodal staging in surgically treated penile cancer. Metho...

More than 70% of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) cases remain idiopathic, and the underlying genetic causes need to be investigated. In this study, we aimed to identify genes and variants associated with the etiology of NOA. Two NOA patients from consanguineous families, with n...

Metal Alloys Used in Dental Prosthetics and Their Impact on the Oral Microbiome: Narrative Review
Introduction: One of the fundamental principles of modern medicine, including dentistry, is prevention. However, if treatment is not initiated, tooth loss can occur, necessitating the use of dental prostheses to restore the function and aesthetics of the stomatognathic system. Th...

High-intensity circuit training as a potential modulator of serum PFAS levels in women
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants with potential physiological effects. Their accumulation in the body is well documented; however, the impact of high-intensity circuit training (HICT) on serum PFAS levels remains poorly understo...

We collected clinical data on 363 patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (RR-CLL) treated with venetoclax-rituximab (VR) in a real-world setting. The median age was 69.5 years (range, 32.5–91.6 years), and the median number of prior lines of therapy was 2...

Long-Term Recovery Following Adolescent Anorexia Nervosa: A Mixed-Methods Follow-Up Study
Background/Objectives: Long-term recovery following adolescent anorexia nervosa (AN) remains incompletely understood because restoration of nutritional status does not necessarily coincide with psychological remission. Comprehensive evaluation of recovery requires consideration o...

BACKGROUND: Short-term studies have demonstrated that single-pill combinations (SPCs) improve adherence, reduce hypertension-related complications, and lower costs; however, long-term benefits remain unclear. This study compared adherence, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU),...

Abstract Background Evidence supporting mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in very elderly patients remains limited, as nonagenarians are underrepresented in randomized trials and frequently excluded from MT in routine practice. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of MT in carefu...

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin has made the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) faster and more precise, but it does not measure the broader biological vulnerability that often determines the outcome after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Growth differentiation factor-15...

Philosophy of medicine has drawn its richest account of suffering from a broadly Christian lineage, in which affliction can be borne with meaning and the sufferer retains an inviolable dignity. That lineage is not the only one, and it was not the first. This paper sets out the co...

Revisitingthe LSER Approach in the Era of MachineLearning: Insights from IAM Chromatography
Abstract The present study demonstrates the integration of the linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) concept with machine learning (ML) methodologies to improve the predictive and interpretative capabilities of chromatographic retention modeling. Immobilized artificial memb...
