CONCLUSIONS: Diaphragmatic ultrasound and TFC-derived EC represent simple, non-invasive, and reliable tools for predicting NIV failure in preterms with RDS. →

Background Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted PET has revolutionized prostate cancer imaging, but the sensitivity at low prostate-specific antigen levels is lacking. Copper 61 (^(61)Cu) is a positron emitter with favorable physical characteristics that allow for delayed imaging, which may result in improved sensitivity. Purpose To evaluate the safety, dosimetry, optimal imaging parameters, and initial efficacy… →

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk later in life. Insulin resistance, common in PCOS, heightens the risk of type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. This study explored whether insulin sensitizers could modify traditional cardiovascular risk factors, through influence on insulin resistance. Objectives: To evaluate the impact of Metformin… →

CONCLUSION: Beer may provoke transient nasal congestion more than wine, although the difference was not statistically significant. Findings support the hypothesis that some Christmas »sniffles« may be alcohol-related rather than viral. →

CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with Shenfu injection as an adjunctive therapy to standard treatment in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI significantly reduced in-hospital arrhythmias, infarct size, microvascular obstruction, and major adverse cardiac events during a 12-month follow-up period. The independent effect on arrhythmias after comprehensive statistical adjustment and the demonstrated correlation between reduced myocardial damage and arrhythmia… →

CONCLUSION: While potentially of limited value for reducing the total number of tests ordered, nudge-based clinical decision support interventions that manipulate decision structure and employ decision assistance may reduce tests other than FBE and U&E in emergency departments, especially among less experienced clinicians. →

BACKGROUND Secretory otitis media (SOM), a common otorhinolaryngological disorder, impairs hearing and quality of life. Eustachian tube balloon dilatation (ETBD) is increasingly used, and its combination with tympanic membrane catheterization (TMC) may enhance outcomes. This study compared ETBD alone with ETBD combined with TMC in adult SOM. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety patients (110 ears) with… →

CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated modest clinical benefits of D + O with ORR of 28.6% in subsets of heavily pretreated TNBC. Further detailed classification of DCs to understand the predictive role of DCs and prospective validation in a large cohort is required. →

CONCLUSIONS: VSPs reinforce the foundational knowledge of internal medicine among medical students and enhance their clinical thinking abilities, as well as improve their capacity for independent work. The VSP system is feasible, practical, and cost-effective, making it worthy of further promotion in clinical education. →
