Management of high-risk (B3) breast lesions in symptomatic practice: evidence review and practical recommendations for multidisciplinary care

Borderline breast lesions (B3 lesions, also termed lesions of uncertain malignant potential or high-risk lesions) represent a heterogeneous group of entities associated with variable risks of malignancy. While the management of screen-detected B3 lesions has become increasingly s...

Determinants of Pregnancy‐Related Misconceptions Among Pregnant Women in Urban Bangladesh: A Cross‐Sectional Study

ABSTRACT Introduction Pregnancy‐related misconceptions are common in low‐ and middle‐income countries and may adversely influence maternal behaviours. Evidence from urban populations is limited. This study assessed the prevalence and determinants of pregnancy‐related misconceptio...

Automatic value learning results in counterproductive human behavior

Abstract Humans are adept at accurately estimating the value of available choices from accumulated experience. However, cognitive processing also incorporates irrelevant information during deliberation, undermining decision accuracy. Here, we show that credit assignment operates...

How does creative enquiry enable us to deal with uncertainty?

Abstract Background Uncertainty is an inherent and pervasive feature of medical practice. Here, uncertainty refers to the subjective perception and affective experience encountered by medical students and clinicians. Difficulties in managing uncertainty are associated with impair...

Electrocatalytic Urea Waste Valorization via Water Electrolysis: Transition‐Metal Phosphides for Sustainable Hydrogen Production

ABSTRACT As global energy demand continues to grow along with increasing environmental challenges, the development of clean, sustainable, and eco‐friendly energy technologies has become imperative to sustain modern society. Urea‐assisted water electrolysis (UAWE) offers a sustain...

A controlled trial of a co-designed virtual reality experience to support wellbeing in students

Abstract Increasing rates of mental health problems among university students require innovative interventions. This study evaluated a multi-sensory, virtual reality (VR) intervention aimed at reducing stress and exam anxiety among students at a healthcare university in the UK. P...

Meningioma of the foramen of Luschka choroid plexus presenting as glossopharyngeal neuralgia: A case report and review of the literature

Background: Meningiomas arising from the choroid plexus of the foramen of Luschka (CPFOL) without dural attachment are an exceedingly rare subtype of intracranial tumor. They present a significant diagnostic challenge, as their clinical and radiological features can mimic more co...

Clinical comparison of CAD/CAM nanohybrid composite and hybrid ceramic overlays in children with molar–incisor hypomineralisation: a split-mouth prospective randomized clinical trial

OBJECTIVES: This prospective, randomized, split-mouth clinical study aimed to compare the clinical performance and survival rates of CAD/CAM-fabricated nanohybrid composite overlays (NCOs) and hybrid ceramic overlays (HCOs) produced using a digital workflow in first permanent mol...

Anticoagulation and Antiplatelet Therapy in Chronic Subdural Hematoma: A Multicenter Evaluation

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) are among the most common neurosurgical pathologies. Older adults also often have comorbidities treated with anticoagulant and antiplatelet (ACAP) medications. Managing clinicians frequently must weigh the benefits and...

Patterns of Autonomous and Conditional Neural Specification for the Brain and Ventral Nerve Cord in Annelida

ABSTRACT Evolution of central nervous systems is a long‐debated topic. Similar mechanisms of conditional neural specification linked to dorsal‐ventral (D–V) axis formation have been used to support homology across several taxa. We tested for autonomous versus conditional neural s...

Understanding zoonotic spillover interfaces for the design of a One Health education intervention: a qualitative baseline study from rural Thailand

Abstract Background Prevention of zoonotic spillover requires an understanding of how human, animal, and environmental interactions shape risk in everyday life. Efforts have focused largely on surveillance and response rather than on primary prevention informed by lived experienc...

Understanding the Complexity of Healthcare Staff Responses to Collective Personal and Occupational Stress Using the Adversity-Activated Development Reflection Tool

The adversity-activated development reflection tool (AART) has been used therapeutically to capture personal growth arising during adversity. Our mixed-methods study used this tool to assess adversity-activated growth in 854 mental and community healthcare workers during the COVI...
