Iliopsoas abscess in crohn’s disease: systematic review of case reports and case series

Transmural inflammation is a hallmark of Crohn’s disease (CD), a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that exposes patients to serious consequences such as fistulas and abscesses. Iliopsoas abscess (IPA) is an uncommon but potentially fatal penetrating (extra-luminal) complication...

Metabolic Signatures Associated with COVID-19 Vaccination in Serum from Healthy Individuals

Background: COVID-19 vaccines have proven effective in reducing severe disease and mortality from SARS CoV-2 infection. The underlying molecular mechanisms and alterations in the human serum metabolome influencing the effectiveness and development of immunity remain unclear. Meth...

Intimate partner violence against Jordanian women: a systematic review of prevalence, associated factors, and health outcomes

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive public health problem in many countries, including Jordan. To our knowledge, no systematic reviews have been conducted in Jordan regarding the prevalence of IPV, its associated factors, and related health outcomes. This systematic re...

A Wearable NMES-LRR Device for Functional Screening of Lower-Limb Venous Outflow Restriction

Abstract Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is potentially life-threatening when embolization results in pulmonary embolism, yet first-line diagnosis using duplex ultrasound is equipment- and operator-dependent and is not well suited to frequent, at-home assessment. This study presents a...

The impact of work from home on urban expansion: a GIS simulation via an intelligent self-adapting multiscale agent-based model

Urban land use is increasingly shaped by evolving work modalities, particularly the rise of Work from Home (WFH) arrangements. This study introduces a hybrid Artificial Neural Network – Agent-Based Modeling (ANN – ABM) framework to simulate urban expansion under differentiated wo...

Therapeutic Equivalence, Immunogenicity, and Safety of Euvichol Oral Cholera Vaccine Formulations Compared with WHO-prequalified Shanchol vaccine in Healthy Children and Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials

Preprint Description Background: Global demand for oral cholera vaccines (OCVs) has increased substantially, while the discontinuation of Shanchol has increased reliance on Euvichol-based formulations. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the immunogenicity and safe...

Cardiac interoception as a mechanistic link between congenital mitral valve prolapse and anxiety disorders: from circuit dissection to neurotechnological modulation

Abstract Background Interoception represents the brain’s ability to sense and interpret internal bodily signals, integrating cardiovascular, autonomic, and cortical processes to maintain homeostasis and shape emotional states. Cardiac interoception links physiological signals wit...

Crisis media exposure cognitive appraisal disaster preparedness and resilience among older adults a narrative review

Older adults are disproportionately affected by nature-induced and human-made disasters. Media can support preparedness by disseminating timely guidance, but high-intensity exposure to distressing coverage and misinformation can also increase anxiety and impede action. This narra...

Perceptions and attitudes of medical students toward AI in anatomy learning

Abstract Background Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly being integrated into medical education. However, their use in anatomy learning, particularly among medical students in the Middle East, remains underexplored. Objective To assess medical students’ perception...

Dynamic Exergoenvironmental Priority Inversion in Power-to-Ammonia-to-Power Systems: The Static T0 Fallacy in Hot-Arid Climates

Power-to-Ammonia-to-Power (P2A2P) systems in hot-arid MENA climates reject waste heat through Recuperated Organic Rankine Cycles (RORCs) whose condensation temperature tracks ambient conditions across annual swings exceeding 35 K. Standard exergoenvironmental assessments evaluate...

Outcomes of Low Vision Rehabilitation Programs for Children: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Purpose: To evaluate the visual, functional, educational, and mobility outcomes of a comprehensive pediatric low vision rehabilitation (LVR) program and determine whether electronic low vision aids (LVAs) provide additional benefit. Methods: A multicenter prospective observationa...
