Serology is mostly used to diagnose toxoplasmosis by methodically looking for anti-toxoplasmic IgG and IgM. The difference between anti-Toxoplasma IgM and non-specific IgM, referred to as “natural,” is one of the challenges in interpreting Toxoplasma serology in pregnant women. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of the “recomLine Toxoplasma IgM” immunoblot assay (Mikrogen, Diagnostik) in differentiating between normal IgM and specific anti-Toxoplasma IgM. Tests have been performe

Sales managers are in charge of upholding moral principles when promoting the company's goods to consumers. To reduce the unethical behavior of sales agents, the sales managers of the pharmaceutical industry must enhance training. The widespread corruption in the pharmaceutical sector highlights the urgent need for marketing ethics in employee training and job performance. To influence the ethical views of the salespeople from the marketing and customer service they do, we need to properly i

The term “Constitution of Traditional Chinese Medicine” refers to the physical and psychological characteristics of the body remaining constant. Unbalanced TCMCs make people more susceptible to illness. To evaluate the effectiveness of TCMCs, this study examined how Chinese healthy women and breast cancer patients were disseminated in Hong Kong. To analyze the physical constitution scale in TCM and identify the TCMC categories, 305 healthy women and 305 BC women were recruited for the study. Que

Research on heat-exchange systems for industrial and domestic use has long emphasized improving thermal transport between two parallel plates. A large body of literature stresses that boosting thermal performance is essential for both operational efficiency and cost. Increasing the Reynolds number, which intensifies turbulence, typically enhances heat conveyance. Hybrid nanofluids generally outperform single-nanoparticle fluids in thermal processes. The mixed suspension composed of Cu–CNT + Grap

The substantial incidence of undetected and incorrectly identified femoral neck fractures (FNF) highlights the need for improved diagnostic support. This work evaluates whether artificial intelligence (AI) can reliably identify FNF and compares its diagnostic capacity with that of physicians. Additionally, it examines how clinicians’ performance changes when assisted by AI. A total of 4477 hip radiographs—2884 showing FNF and 1593 appearing normal—were gathered from eight leading tertiary hospit

This research investigated whether the availability of medical resources in one's residential community affects the likelihood of experiencing unmet healthcare needs in South Korea, a nation where population concentration is a growing concern. Two open-access datasets were analyzed: the individual-level Korean Community Health Survey and regional-level Korean medical utilization statistics, comprising 176,378 participants. Because individuals are nested within regions, a multilevel analytica

Depression has long been a major topic of global academic interest, yet its study within traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has historically been underexplored. Only after entering the 21st century did TCM-related depression research accelerate, with a steady rise in publications across mainstream journals. A major gap in the field is the absence of a comprehensive overview describing how this research area has evolved and what core issues have been examined. Thus, this work set out to summarise

Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rapidly progressing condition in which immune-mediated injury affects peripheral nerves. Because widely accepted treatment protocols emphasize acute-phase care, rehabilitation, and long-term management often remain insufficient. In East Asia, herbal formulas have historically been applied to support GBS recovery, leading to interest in their adjunctive potential. This study was therefore designed to assess clinical data regarding herbal interventions for GBS an

Animal models have long served as indispensable systems for exploring how human diseases arise and progress. These organisms span a wide biological range—from Caenorhabditis elegans to non-human primates—and have enabled discoveries that would otherwise remain unattainable. Their usefulness is typically linked to the degree of genetic and physiological similarity they share with humans, making it possible to generalize many research findings. Yet such translational assumptions are not always acc

Olfactory dysfunction (OD) refers to disorders affecting the sense of smell. Prior investigations suggest that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may offer therapeutic benefits for OD. This study performed a bibliometric assessment of TCM-related OD research to reveal patterns and emerging areas of focus. Eleven databases were systematically reviewed from inception to September 4, 2024, covering all clinical research involving TCM for OD. Information extracted with Excel 2016 and R Studio includ
