Radiographic Evaluation of Scoliosis in Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Patients: Associations Between Curve Severity, Localization, and Skeletal Maturity

Background/Objectives: The vertebral column is exposed to significant mechanical loads, exceeding 8000 N at certain levels due to bipedal posture and locomotion. These forces may contribute to structural alterations during growth. Scoliosis is among the most common structural spi...

Exploratory Associations of Subjective Sleep Characteristics, Psychosocial Factors, and Glycemic Control in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes

Background/Objectives: Sleep health contributes to glucose homeostasis and metabolic regulation. We explored associations between subjective sleep characteristics, glycemic control, and diabetes-related clinical factors in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: Thi...

Early Nutritional–Immune Biomarker Trajectories Following Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: A Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Study

Background: Nutritional deterioration is a common consequence of gastrectomy for gastric cancer and may persist despite standardized perioperative care. However, prospective longitudinal evidence describing the early course of postoperative nutritional recovery remains limited. T...

What Is Stressful About Medical Liability? A Retrospective Jurisprudential Analysis of Moral Damages and Discussions on Its Impact on Healthcare Professionals’ Well-Being

Background/Objectives: Medical liability litigation in Romania has risen steadily over the past decade, yet the quantification of moral (non-pecuniary) damages remains entirely at the discretion of each judge, with no standardized reference. This raises concerns about consistency...

Clinical Utility of Dual-Energy CT for Detection, Characterization, and Staging of Lung Tumors: A Rapid Review

Background/Objectives: Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Conventional computed tomography (CT) is the preferred imaging modality for evaluating pulmonary nodules because of its high spatial resolution; however, it primarily provi...

Systems Bioengineering of Septic Shock Metabolism: Citrulline, β-Hydroxybutyrate and Plasma Biomarker-Based Phenotyping

Background: Although advances in critical care have improved short-term outcomes, sepsis survivors continue to face substantial chronic morbidity and impaired long-term survival. Conventional threshold-based tools such as the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Modifie...

The Cost of the Cure: Antibiotic Exposure as a Risk Factor for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

The intricate interplay between the gut microbiome and the enteric nervous system remains a paramount focus in understanding the multifactorial pathogenesis of disorders of gut–brain interaction (DGBI), most notably irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). While the clinical entity of pos...

Clinician-Guided Deep Learning Segmentation of Skull Base Pneumatization on Computed Tomography Using 3D Slicer and MONAI Label

Skull base pneumatization is anatomically variable and clinically relevant to temporal bone and transsphenoidal surgical corridors, but manual volumetric segmentation is time-consuming. This retrospective pilot study evaluated a clinician-guided deep learning workflow for mastoid...
