A Comparison of Machine Learning Models for ICH Prognostication: An Analysis of ATACH-2 and Qatar Stroke Database

INTRODUCTION: Multiple prognostic scores have been developed to predict morbidity and mortality in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). These scoring models were traditionally based on statistical methods involving a limited set of variables. The advent of m...

Factors associated with tuberculosis-attributed mortality in the Brazilian Amazon: a population-based retrospective cohort study with survival and competing-risk analyses

Abstract Background Tuberculosis mortality remains a major public health challenge in the Brazilian Amazon, where clinical vulnerability, social inequities, and heterogeneous access to healthcare may contribute to poor outcomes. This study aimed to identify factors associated wit...

Assessment of organizational readiness for implementing an online pain education program for chronic musculoskeletal pain in Brazilian public health context: a cross-sectional study

Understanding the organizational readiness for behavior change is paramount for implementation success of new interventions and to avoid waste of resources. To assess organizational readiness of primary healthcare providers to refer users with chronic musculoskeletal pain for an...

A dimeric mRNA vaccine based on key-mutant and KP.3 RBDs induces broad-spectrum immunity and protects mice against JN.1 and XDV challenges

The continued antigenic evolution of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants has progressively eroded vaccine-elicited protective immunity, driving demand for next-generation candidates that confer broad-spectrum protection against phylogenetically divergent strains. Here we report the de...

An ecological time-series study of heat-related illness in Honolulu County, Hawaiʻi: implications for heat preparedness and public health response

Heat-related illness (HRI) is a growing public health concern. HRI risk in Hawaiʻi has not previously been reviewed to determine the risks of heat on public health and well-being. This study summarizes HRI in Honolulu County and evaluates the relationship between local daily heat...

Soilless farming system design impacts the diversity and composition of microbiota

ABSTRACT Controlled environment agriculture (CEA), including soilless farming systems, is expanding to improve food security and resource efficiency. However, little is known about how different soilless farming system designs influence microbial populations that may be relevant...
