2025 Korean Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Part 9. Neonatal resuscitation: a secondary publication

The 2025 Korean Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation provide updated, evidence-based recommendations to optimize the transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life. While approximately 85% of term newborns initiate spontaneous breathing independently, timely interventi...

Acceptance of Organs From Deceased Donors: Results of a Global Survey.

Background: With <10% of transplantation needs being met, one contributing factor may be the potential subjectivity in transplant specialists' acceptance of organs. Such decisions, if influenced by knowledge and/or comfort gaps, warrant intervention. We assessed knowledge and com...

Development and validation of VentPilot: an AI-based recommendation system for mechanical ventilation

BACKGROUND: Mechanical ventilation requires repeated adjustment to changing patient physiology, but consistent individualized management remains challenging. We developed VentPilot, an artificial intelligence-based system for recommending ventilator settings, and evaluated it in...

2025 Korean Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Part 8. Pediatric advanced life support: a secondary publication

The 2025 Korean pediatric advanced life support guideline update introduces clinically important revisions emphasizing airway strategy, physiologic resuscitation targets, post-cardiac arrest hemodynamics, neuroprotection, and extracorporeal support. In out-of-hospital pediatric c...

Efficacy of popliteal plexus block for opioid sparing and pain management after lower extremity surgery: a meta-analysis

Background: Postoperative pain management often depends on opioids, despite the associated adverse effects. The popliteal plexus block (PPB) presents a promising technique to reduce opioid consumption in surgeries. Methods: This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of PPB wh...

Effects of Kinect-based mixed-reality exercise and deep-sea water consumption on metabolic syndrome: a randomized controlled trial

[Purpose] The increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome poses significant health risks, particularly for cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Exercise interventions have shown promise in improving the components of metabolic syndrome, including blood pressure, lipid pro...

Effects of a low-protein, high-fructose corn syrup diet on skeletal muscle and bone in young adult mice: a pilot study

[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the effects of chronic consumption of a low-protein diet combined with 10% high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) on skeletal muscle and bone health in mice. [Methods] Seven-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were fed either a normal diet or a low-protein d...

Stereotactic body radiation therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma: 2026 expert consensus-based practical recommendation of the Korean Liver Cancer Association

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a noninvasive, high-precision radiation technique that delivers a high dose to the tumor in a limited number of fractions, typically five or fewer, and is increasingly used as a curative-intent option for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC...

Current Status of Animal Models for Premature Ovarian Insufficiency: Similarities to Clinical Manifestations and Therapeutic Applications

Abstract Background: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a reproductive disorder characterized by the early loss of ovarian function before the age of 40, resulting in infertility and increasing the long-term risk of health issues such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease...

Sex and Mortality Among Patients with Papillary Thyroid Cancer

Importance Unlike patient age, which has been a well-established and routinely used primary biological prognostic factor in the risk stratification of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), the prognostic value of patient sex remains controversial in this common endocrine malignant neop...

Application of 3D printing in medical anatomy education and its potential impact on student achievement

Textbooks, and computed tomography (CT) scans are traditional resources for anatomy education but may be insufficient for complex anatomy. This study evaluated whether adding three-dimensional printing (3DP) abdominal models to CT images improves learning of abdominal anatomy, in...

Plumage Polymorphism Varies Along Climatic and Urban Gradients Across Global Cities

ABSTRACT Aim How phenotypic variation relates to both climatic gradients and urbanisation across spatial scales remains unclear at global scales. Although animal colouration has long been linked to climate through ecogeographical rules, and urbanisation has increasingly been asso...

Thrombotic Risk of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Contact System in Patients with Antiphospholipid Antibodies

APAs) and an increased risk of thrombosis [1].In thrombosis, APAs may contribute through the induction of tissue factor expression in endothelial cells and platelet activation.However, the exact mechanisms underlying thrombosis in APS remain unclear.Upon stimulation by microorgan...

Analytical Performance Evaluation of the Sysmex XR-9000 Hematology Analyzer in a Clinical Laboratory Setting

Background: Automated hematology analyzers are essential for clinical diagnostics.We evaluated the analytical performance of the Sysmex XR-9000 (Sysmex Corporation, Kobe, Japan) by comparing it with the XN-9000 (Sysmex Corporation) system.Methods: Analytical performance of the XR...

Ultimate compressive strength inversion in initially imperfect plates under different boundary conditions: A conservative assessment method

This study presents a predictive framework for the ultimate compressive strength (UCS) of initially deflected plates subjected to longitudinal axial compression under simply supported (SS) and clamped (CL) boundary conditions. A comprehensive database comprising 2800 non-linear f...

Pauli grouping for estimating fidelity with a one-dimensional cluster state

We provide a classically efficient, end-to-end algorithm to minimize measurement complexity for estimating one-dimensional cluster state fidelity by finding an optimal Pauli grouping.

Body Weight Change and Dementia Risk in Young and Middle‐Aged Adults With Type 2 Diabetes and Depression: A Nationwide Cohort Study

ABSTRACT Aim Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and depression are established risk factors for dementia, yet clinically observable markers of neurocognitive vulnerability in younger adults with these comorbidities remain poorly characterized. We examined whether longitudinal body w...

From bias to bots: discrimination and AI service preference

Purpose While artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled services have become increasingly prevalent, little is known about how discriminatory service encounters influence consumers’ preference for AI-based service providers. This research aims to investigate whether – and why – percei...

Orientation-dependent ballistic response of textured Mg alloy plates: From deformation mechanisms to macroscopic fracture

α -Mg alloys inherently exhibit pronounced plastic anisotropy owing to the limited slip systems of their hexagonal close-packed lattice; this anisotropy is amplified by the crystallographic texture developed during thermomechanical processing. Despite extensive studies on quasi-s...

Training-free post-disaster damage estimation with incomplete satellite images by integrating open data and fractional hot deck imputation

Abstract Analyzing satellite imagery is an essential step after a severe natural disaster for monitoring the level of damage and making the best decision. The current study proposes a fast post-disaster damage framework incorporating the remote sensing of imagery, entropy calcula...
