SIOOT® Adjunct Oxygen-Ozone Therapy Against Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria: A Pilot Study of 257 Cases
Background/Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents one of the greatest challenges to modern medicine, particularly in chronic infections sustained by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens and biofilm formation. SIOOT® Oxygen–ozone major autohemotherapy (SIOOT®-O2-O3-M...

Variance-Adaptive Self-Regularizing Ensemble Learning for Robust Predictions in Small-Data Regimes
The small-data regime remains one of the most important and pressing problems in machine learning. With only a few hundred sample points in the training set, conventional ensemble methods are potentially unreliable because they have high variance, low generalization and are sensi...

Abstract Although stainless steel (SS) is widely used for cardiovascular stents, its surface is prone to undesirable biological interactions that contribute to thrombosis, infection and restenosis. In this study, zwitterionic copolymers composed of poly(vinylphosphonic acid) (PVP...

Health journalism in Pakistan: new horizons among old challenges
This study examines the status and evolving practices of health journalism in Pakistan through a qualitative lens. Drawing on the Hierarchy of Influences model, it explores journalists’ perceptions and experiences across three interrelated levels: individual, organizational, and...

ABSTRACT Objectives Rhabdomyosarcoma represents the most common paediatric soft tissue sarcoma, with 40% occurring in the head and neck region. Given that survival rates now reach 80%, minimising late adverse effects, particularly dental developmental complications, has become a...

Trends in Mortality Attributed to Heart Failure Among Older Adults in Brazil, 2000-2024
Background: Heart failure is a leading cause of death in older adults, but long-term population-based evidence from middle-income countries remains limited. We examined national and regional trends in mortality assigned to heart failure among Brazilian adults aged 60 years or old...
