Testing the null hypothesis of uncoupling between mean arterial pressure and mean cerebral blood velocity in health and pathology via different surrogate strategies

Alberto Porta, Beatrice Cairo, Ilaria Burzo, Beatrice De Maria, Martina Anguissola, Marco Ranucci, Vlasta Bari

Abstract Objective . The dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) limits variability of mean cerebral blood velocity (MCBv) despite mean arterial pressure (MAP) variations through a myriad of nonlinear mechanisms. However, dCA operates in association with the flow-to-pressure pathway. This study aims at characterizing the closed loop MCBv-MAP relationship by separating the dependence of MAP on MCBv from that over the reverse pathway using different surrogate approaches. Approach. Analyses were carried out in 26 health …

Competing for Priorities in School Choice

Greg Leo, Martin Van der Linden

ABSTRACT We present a model in which students can influence their priorities in a school choice mechanism through a first‐stage contest. We show that efficiency improvements at the mechanism level can lead to net efficiency losses if they come at the price of increased allocative inequalities, intensifying competition in the contest. To demonstrate this potential tension, we apply these results to the deferred and immediate acceptance mechanisms ( and ) and show that there are conditions under which can yield highe …

Procalcitonin Read Outside Its Derivation Population and an Antibiotic Course Ended by the Calendar: A Late Preterm Neonate with Transient Tachypnoea of the Newborn Managed as Probable Early-Onset Sepsis

Deril Ridwan, Eny Yantri, Benny Sana Putra

Background: Respiratory distress in a late preterm neonate forces an early choice between transient tachypnoea of the newborn and pneumonia with early-onset sepsis, usually before any confirmatory result exists. Objective: To audit how biomarkers and an antibiotic stop rule were interpreted in a late preterm neonate managed as probable early-onset sepsis. Methods: This CARE-guided case report reviewed the de-identified clinical record, re-read each test against its derivation population, and recomputed clinical, re …

Objective quantification of suckling biomechanics in infants with and without tongue-tie using hydraulic differential-pressure recording and machine learning

Lene Dahl Siggaard, Serguei Chiriaev, Anders Kramer Knudsen, Torben Lildholdt

Introduction Objective assessment of infant suckling biomechanics remains limited despite decades of pressure-based measurement research, and tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is still largely evaluated using semi-quantitative anatomical scoring. We developed a hydraulic differential-pressure device — the electronic baby bottle (EBB) — designed to record real-time net intraoral mechanical load during nutritive suckling through a fluid-filled sensing cavity with a controlled air inclusion coupled to a differential pressure …

A scoping review protocol on knowledge, perceptions and attitudes toward cervical cancer among Ghanaians

Isaac Aidoo Erzuah, Christiana Asiedu, Amidu Alhassan, Ernest Addae

Abstract Introduction Cervical malignancy remains a major public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries, with sub-Saharan Africa bearing a disproportionate burden of disease. In Ghana, cervical cancer incidence and mortality remain high despite the availability of effective preventive measures, including human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and screening. Knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes influence uptake of cervical cancer prevention services, yet evidence from Ghana remains limited. This scopi …

Background Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important outcome measure for evaluating community health interventions. Exploring effective community-based health self-management strategies is of practical significance in the context of population aging. This study compared the associations of different activity delivery modes (hybrid online-offline, offline-dominant, and online-dominant) implemented within community health self-management groups on residents’ HRQoL, and explored associations with activity …

Kaiyao Shen, Chenghao Wu, Wenhui Kong, Xu Wang, Yujie Zhao, Xueying Wang, Shan Hong, Hui Li

Introduction Mental disorders pose a major public health challenge in China, with marked urban–rural disparities in resources and outcomes. However, long-term mortality trends, their influencing factors, and future projections across urban and rural areas remain underexplored. This study aimed to analyze these mortality trends, identify relevant factors, and project mortality to 2030 using national data from 2009 to 2021. Methods Data were extracted from the China Health Statistical Yearbook , the China Health and …

Qualitative and probability-based analysis of student open-ended responses on academic stress and mental health

Jyoti Badge, Krishna Thakkar

Likert-scale instruments capture how much stress students report, but not what shape that stress takes. We present a thematic and probability-based analysis of open-ended survey responses from 217 graduate students at a private university in central India, collected in July 2025. Students described how academic stress had affected their mental health and proposed institutional changes they considered necessary. Seven stressor themes were extracted through inductive coding following the Braun and Clarke framework. A …

Catechins and Their Effect on the Gut Microbiome in Health and Cancer

Prakash Monika, Bindu Sadanandan, Honnamachanahalli Ramachandraiah Tejashree, Maitreyi Darbha, Kirti Gupta, Srinivas Reneeka

ABSTRACT Catechins are a group of flavonoids found primarily in green tea, fruits, and berries; they play a significant role in the modulation of the gut microbiota, thereby having an impact on gut health and cancer prevention. Owing to their low bioavailability, catechins are transformed by the gut microbiota into various bioactive metabolites such as valerolactones and glucuronides, which support the growth of several beneficial bacterial species including Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus while inhibiting harmfu …

Abstract Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis of childhood associated with profound immune dysregulation that may persist beyond the acute inflammatory phase. The long-term risks of autoimmune diseases and lymphoproliferative malignancies in children with KD remain incompletely defined. To determine whether children with KD carry increased 20-year risks of autoimmune and lymphoproliferative outcomes compared with matched controls. We conducted a retrospective matched cohort study using the Clalit H …

Abstract In the context of population ageing and extended working lives, understanding how employment quality affects older workers’ health is of growing policy relevance. Although previous research has linked working conditions to health, significant gaps remain in panel designs, unobserved heterogeneity, measurement validity, and sample representativeness. Using longitudinal microdata from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), we estimate individual fixed-effects models over a 12-year pe …

Honey as a functional food: composition, bioactive compounds, health benefits and applications

Houssam Lakhmili, Zineb Lakouam, Khawla Benbnidak, Karima Warda, Abdelilah El Abbassi

Honey is a natural bee-derived product that has been valued for centuries as both a food and a traditional remedy. While its composition is dominated by carbohydrates, accumulating evidence suggests that many of its health-promoting properties may be substantially influenced by its minor non-glucidic constituents, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, amino acids, proteins, organic acids, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the physicochemical composition of honey and c …

The diverse human/bird relationships in backyard bird keeping: implications for health and welfare

Niamh Mahon, Orla Shortall, Carol Kyle

Abstract In 2024 registration of all captive bird flocks became mandatory in Great Britain to improve disease surveillance at a time of increasing avian influenza outbreaks. However, little is known about how health and welfare practices are shaped by the diversity of relationships that characterise UK backyard birdkeeping. We use this moment of change to (1) examine the relationships between backyard keepers, their birds, and the poultry industry, and, (2) explore how registration legislation is responded to by ba …
