Impact of point-of-care maternal viral load testing at delivery on vertical HIV transmission risk assessment and neonatal prophylaxis: a cluster randomized trial
CONCLUSIONS: PoC maternal VL testing at delivery significantly increased the proportion of infants identified to be at high risk. Infants at high risk whose mothers received PoC VL at delivery were more often initiated on ePNP. However, the linkage of infants at high risk to appropriate prophylaxis remains suboptimal, warranting consideration of universal ePNP. →

Impact of a Targeted 8-Week Exercise Program on Pain Measures and Isokinetic Muscle Strength in Females With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSES: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a prevalent condition among physically active females and is often associated with reduced hip and knee muscle strength, altered biomechanics, and pain-related disability. Weight-bearing exercise programs may enhance neuromuscular control and functional outcomes, but their effects on multiple objective and subjective measures have not been comprehensively studied… →

Unreactive EEG Background Is Associated With Unfavorable Outcome in Patients With Disorders of Consciousness of Various Etiologies: An Adult Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: In this etiologically mixed cohort of critically ill adults, unreactive EEG predicted unfavorable outcome at 6 months with high specificity. EEG reactivity may reduce prognostic uncertainty not only for patients with HIBI, but also for other types of acute brain injury, such as TBI and ICH. →

The Desensitizing Effect of Nanosilver Fluoride Compared to Photobiomodulation Therapy in Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization: A Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSION: NSF and PBMT reduced sensitivity associated with MIH and provided immediate pain relief. However, NSF was superior due to its longer-lasting effects on sensitivity and additional benefit in plaque reduction. →

A randomized controlled trial comparing large-volume band ligator and cyanoacrylate injection in the endoscopic management of actively bleeding gastric varices
Managing actively bleeding gastric varices (GV) is clinically challenging. This study assessed the safety and efficacy of endoscopic band ligation (EBL) using large-volume ligators compared with endoscopic variceal obturation (EVO) in managing actively bleeding GV. Patients who were diagnosed with active GV bleeding via endoscopy and underwent EBL with large-volume band ligators or EVO were… →

Implementing Self-Refine Technique Using Large Language Models LLMs
Implementing Self-Refine Technique Using Large Language Models (LLMs) This tutorial demonstrates how to implement the Self-Refine technique using Large Language Models (LLMs) with Mirascope, a powerful framework for building structured prompt workflows. The Self-Refine technique is a prompt engineering strategy where the model evaluates its own output, generates feedback, and iteratively improves its response based… →
