Self-care recovery after ischemic stroke: a quasi-experimental comparison of two psychological interventions

Post-stroke patients often experience cognitive, psychological, and self-care impairments. Comparative evidence on mindfulness-based interventions and cognitive rehabilitation interventions remains limited. This study compared two psychological interventions (Mindfulness-Based St...

Role of consolidative surgery after chemotherapy in recurrent/metastatic adrenal cortical cancer (ACC): Princess Margaret Cancer Centre experience

Recurrent/Metastatic (R/M) ACC is aggressive with few effective treatment options. The role of surgery after chemotherapy remains unclear. Moreover, prognostic factors in R/M ACC are not well defined. R/M ACC patients treated at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (2002–2019) were re...

Stochasticity in response to rostrocaudal and mediolateral determinants influences inaccurate specification within kidney organoids

The differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to kidney requires the accurate recapitulation of complex morphogenetic patterning events within an in vitro environment. Current protocols are assumed to accurately pattern through intermediate mesoderm to kidney with outcomes...

Coverage and factors associated with receipt of early newborn postnatal care components in Afghanistan: findings from the 2022–2023 multiple indicator cluster survey

BACKGROUND: Neonatal mortality remains high in low‑ and middle‑income countries, where early postnatal care (PNC) within 48 hours can avert many deaths. Yet neither the national coverage of newborn PNC nor the factors associated with its receipt have been assessed. OBJECTIVES: We...

Residency‐Based Inequalities in Cervical Cancer Screening in Sub‐Saharan Africa

ABSTRACT Background This study examined the contributions of factors associated with rural–urban disparities in cervical cancer screening uptake in sub‐Saharan Africa using a decomposition analysis. Methods We used data from the recent Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in...

Development of an instrument for measuring university students’ motivation for sustainability engagement using self-determination theory

Sustainability education has become an important focus of higher education globally. However, the factors influencing students’ motivation to engage in sustainability-related activities, both within formal educational settings and in their broader communities, remain relatively u...

The pharmacogGENEtics in Youth Depression (GENE-YD) study for personalizing antidepressant pharmacotherapy for young Western Australians – A feasibility study

Abstract Pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing to guide antidepressant prescribing is becoming increasingly available. However, its uptake into routine psychiatric practice for young people remains limited due to insufficient youth-specific evidence and uncertainty regarding optimal tria...

Adoption of ‘decentralized’ clinical trial terminology: a systematic review of self-identified decentralized clinical trials

Abstract Importance In recent years, trials have leveraged digital tools and remote methods to improve patient access and diversity, streamline operations, enhance data collection, and reduce costs and timelines. Regulatory terminology has defined these as decentralized clinical...

Entropy‐Engineered Prussian Blue Nanocubes Decouple Kinetic Bottlenecks for Selective Nitrate‐to‐Ammonia Conversion in Neutral Media

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction (NO 3 RR) in neutral media offers a sustainable route for decentralized ammonia synthesis, yet remains hindered by sluggish proton‐coupled electron transfer (PCET) and severe *NO 2 − poisoning. In unbuffered media, low proton availability disrup...

Neurocognitive outcomes after treatment of unruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms – a systematic review

Cognitive changes after treatment of ruptured anterior communicating artery (AComA) aneurysms have been recognized for decades. Whether such deficits occur after elective treatment of unruptured aneurysms remains uncertain. A systematic search in MEDLINE (via PubMed and via Ovid)...
