Nano-enabled therapeutics for oral candida infections: a scoping review

Oral candidiasis remains a clinically relevant infection, particularly in drug-resistant strains of Candida . In recent years, nano-enabled therapeutics have been explored as potential alternatives to overcome the limitations of antifungal therapy. The present study aims to ident...

Effects of a Brief Inpatient Mindfulness‐Based Stress Reduction Program on Psychological Distress and Marital Satisfaction in High‐Risk Pregnancy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

ABSTRACT Objective Hospitalized women with high‐risk pregnancies are particularly vulnerable to psychological distress and relational strain. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a brief inpatient mindfulness‐based stress reduction (MBSR) progra...

Artificial intelligence in radiographic quantification and severity assessment of peri‐implant marginal bone loss: A systematic review

ABSTRACT Purpose To critically assess artificial intelligence (AI)‐based radiographic models for quantitative measurement, localization/detection, segmentation/keypoints, diagnostic classification, and severity or morphology assessment of peri‐implant marginal bone loss (MBL) and...

Global prevalence of colistin resistance, mcr gene variants, and sequence types in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Due to the increasing prevalence of infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria, colistin has become an important therapeutic option. However, the rapid emergence of resistance to this antimicrobial agent, mediated by mechanisms such...

Incremental Prognostic Value of CT Indices Derived from Midline Shift and Hematoma Thickness in Acute Subdural Hematoma

Background: In acute subdural hematoma (ASDH), early risk stratification relies heavily on hematoma thickness (HT) and midline shift (MLS). Composite indices derived from these measures have been proposed to better characterize mass effect, but their incremental prognostic value...

The relationship between health literacy and perceived social support with self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure

Abstract Background Health literacy (HL) and perceived social support (PSS) are two independent variables associated with self-care behaviors (SCB) among patients with heart failure (HF). The study aimed to detemine the relationship between HL and PSS with SCB in patients with HF...

Renal resistive index and serum creatinine changes in icu patients receiving vasopressor therapy: a prospective cohort study

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients receiving vasopressor therapy. Serum creatinine, the standard biomarker for AKI, rises relatively late and is influenced by several non-renal factors. The renal resistive index (RRI), measured by Dopple...

Synthesis and Analysis of Biochemical and Pharmaceutical Properties of Polysialylated Recombinant Streptokinase Enzyme

ABSTRACT Streptokinase (SK) is an enzyme drug and is used in medicine for dissolving clots in conditions such as heart attacks, lung artery emboli, vein thrombosis, and occlusions of arteries. Despite the impressive use of SK, its immunogenicity and short half‐life are major chal...

Illness perception in advanced heart failure: a hermeneutic phenomenological study

Heart failure (HF) is a chronic, progressive condition that profoundly affects patients’ physical functioning and their psychological, social, and existential well-being. Beyond its clinical manifestations, patients continuously interpret and assign meaning to their illness, and...

Climate Change Impacts on One Health Systems: A Narrative Review of Empirical Evidence and Policy Responses

ABSTRACT Background Climate change poses critical threats to human, animal, and environmental health, yet evidence on integrated One Health responses remains fragmented. Although numerous studies highlight climate‐driven health risks, many climate adaptation frameworks still unde...
