Sociodemographic Characteristics of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Colonisation Among HIV/AIDS Clients of a Public Hospital in South-South Nigeria

Ogbue Joan, Adewuyi Morufu, Samuel Sunday, Unuane Egbedion, Otumu Obulimi

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) poses a growing threat among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) due to immunological vulnerability, frequent healthcare exposure, and compromised skin integrity. Despite a high HIV burden in Edo State, Nigeria, no data characterising MRSA colonisation in PLWH exist in the State. This study characterised MRSA colonisation among HIV/AIDS Clients of Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital (ISTH). This is a cross-sectional hospital-based study, with 176 PLWH on ART for ≥6 m …

Transgenerational Inheritance of Odour-Specific Fear Memory

Vivian Zhu

Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance suggests that environmental experiences can influence offspring biology through mechanisms that do not involve changes to DNA sequence. Previous studies have demonstrated that paternal fear conditioning to a specific odour can alter offspring sensitivity and behavioural responses to that same odour, indicating that parental experiences may be transmitted across generations. However, the neural mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood. This study investiga …

Deep septal pacing and subsequent individualized interventricular electrical optimization in HCM with preserved ejection fraction and high anticipated pacing burden: a case report

Ali Hakan Konuş

Management of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, and high anticipated ventricular pacing burden remains challenging because current pacing guidelines provide limited direction for this clinical scenario. A 68-year-old man with non-obstructive HCM, symptomatic 2:1 atrioventricular block, and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia underwent implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy–defibrillator (CRT-D) system using a lumenless septal pacing lead con …

H.B Sattaraliyeva, D.B. Mo’minova

Background. Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological disease among women of reproductive age and is frequently associated with impaired reproductive function and infertility. The clinical manifestations and extent of pelvic organ involvement vary considerably among patients, necessitating a differentiated approach to the assessment of reproductive potential. Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and antral follicle count (AFC) are important parameters for evaluating ovarian reserve. Modern transvaginal u …

Digital health maturity models for Human Resources for Health Information Systems in low- and middle-income countries in Africa: A scoping review

Agbonkhese I. Oaiya, Christmal D. Christmals, Hillary K. Kipruto

Background: Health workforce challenges in Africa are exacerbated by fragmented and underdeveloped Human Resources for Health Information Systems (HRH-IS). While digital health maturity models exist, their applicability to HRH-IS in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains unclear, with limited evidence of context-specific frameworks. Aim: This scoping review aimed to (1) map digital health and health information system (HIS) maturity models, frameworks, tools and guidelines relevant to HRH-IS, and (2) synt …

Analysis of computational methods used to optimize transmission x-ray targets for 100- to 500-kV x-ray tubes

Benjamin Abraham Insley, Mohammad R Salehpour, Dirk Alan Bartkoski

Abstract Objective: While the process of designing a low-to-medium energy transmission X-ray target follows a similar general approach throughout the literature, the specific methodology can vary substantially. The goal of this study was to determine the sensitivity of X-ray target optimization to different methods of X-ray quantification and temperature modeling. Approach: Ultrathin (1.5- to 90-μm) tungsten transmission X-ray targets were modeled in TOPAS (v.3.8) and bombarded with electrons at energies of 10 …

Benzodiazepine use across the legal and illegal continuum in Europe and implications for clinical burden and deprescribing

Jose Seijas-Amigo

Abstract Benzodiazepines (BZDs) remain widely used across Europe for anxiety, insomnia, and related indications, despite longstanding recommendations limiting treatment duration and prioritising non-pharmacological care. Alongside sustained prescribing, Europe is characterised by a “legal–illegal continuum” in which authorised medical use, diversion and non-medical consumption, and illicit markets—including novel BZDs monitored as new psychoactive substances—interact and amplify clinical harm. Recent European data …

Gluteus Minimus Indentation Is Associated With Acetabular Undercoverage and Increased Femoral Torsion in Patients With Nontraumatic Hip Pain

Julien Hirt, Jose Roshardt, Joseph M. Schwab, Simon D. Steppacher, Moritz Tannast

Background Although the hip is generally considered a stable joint, certain morphological configurations—such as acetabular dysplasia or abnormal femoral torsion—can predispose it to instability. Gluteus minimus indentation, a lateral femoral head morphologic finding, has been described in patients with cerebral palsy and severe dysplasia; however, whether it occurs in other instability-related hip morphologies and whether it has clinical relevance remains unclear. Questions/purposes (1) Did a higher percentage of …

Emergency department (ED) visits often serve as a safety net for patients with limited access to outpatient dermatologic care. Racial and ethinci minorities experience disproportionate barriers to dermatologic diagnosis, treatment, and specialty access. We evaluated racial/ethnic differences in ED visits identifying primary clinician-rendered dermatologic visits using the 2022 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS). Patient demographics, residence, and payment source were stratified by race and s …

Association Between Thiazolidinedione Therapy and Tuberculosis-Related Events in Type 2 Diabetes: A Population-Based Cohort Study

Fu-Shun Yen, James Cheng-Chung Wei, Shao-Fan Yen, Chen-Yu Sung, Teng-Shun Yu, Fuu-Jen Tsai, Chih-Cheng Hsu, Chii-Min Hwu

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health burden, and diabetes mellitus increases the risk of active TB. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) have immunomodulatory effects, but their association with TB remains unclear. This study investigated the associations between TZD use and TB-related events in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), including TB requiring anti-TB treatment, pulmonary TB, and TB-related hospitalization. Using Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database, adults with newly diagnosed T2D betwee …

Transposition as activism: Toward a public‐facing linguistic anthropology

Mike Mena, Britta Ingebretson

Abstract In 2023, the Demystifying Language Project (DLP) held a 3‐day writing workshop that brought together 12 scholars, paired with 11 undergraduates and 15 high schoolers, to collaboratively recompose their own peer‐reviewed articles into a genre legible to those without specialized training in language‐related disciplines. This was done through transposition as activism , or the process by which participants undermine, transcend, or defect from highly regimented boundaries of academic writing genres and their …
