Symptom‐System Complexity and Network‐Informed Assessment Priorities in Patients With Colorectal Cancer and a Stoma: A Multicentre Cross‐Sectional Study

ABSTRACT Aims and Objectives To characterise symptom‐system heterogeneity and entropy‐informed complexity and identify network‐informed assessment priorities for clinical nursing in patients with colorectal cancer and a stoma. Background Patients with colorectal cancer and a stom...

Causal effects of circulating cathepsins on cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, acute pancreatitis, and chronic pancreatitis

Gallbladder, biliary, and pancreatic disorders are nonneoplastic diseases marked by inflammation, epithelial injury, and fibrosis. Cathepsins are lysosomal proteases involved in inflammatory activation, immune regulation, extracellular matrix turnover, and pancreatic enzyme activ...

Associations of health literacy and eHealth literacy with cyberchondria: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Health literacy and eHealth literacy are related but conceptually distinct constructs that may influence how individuals engage with online health information. However, observational studies have reported positive, negative, and null associations with cybercho...

Totally tubeless simultaneous bilateral VATS for pulmonary fungal granulomas following solid organ transplantation

Radiologically differentiating opportunistic pulmonary fungal infections from lung malignancies after solid organ transplantation (SOT) is difficult. Although a surgical biopsy is often required for definitive diagnosis, conventional intubated general anesthesia and routine chest...

A study on the utility of velocity vector imaging for assessment of radial artery elastic function in patients with end-stage renal disease

Objective: This study aims to assess changes in radial artery elastic function among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) using velocity vector imaging (VVI). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 68 pre-hemodialysis ESRD patients and 30 healthy individuals a...

Glycolytic reprogramming and the EMT drive cervical cancer progression via the NQO1/HIF1α-SIX1 axis

Cervical cancer aggressiveness and therapeutic resistance are driven by metabolic reprogramming and redox imbalance. Within this context, NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), a critical regulator of cellular redox homeostasis and energy metabolism, is highly expressed in sev...
