The skin acts as the interface between the body and its external environment and represents the interconnectedness of all the organs and systems in the human organism. Its structure and positioning play a central role in the overall functioning of the body and, at the same time, contribute to the aesthetic appearance. This study aims to investigate the embryonic origins of the skin, its anatomical composition, and histological structure. The skin consists of two main components: the epidermis, w

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms no longer respond to the therapeutic effects of antibiotics. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC enzymes are key factors in AMR, diminishing the effectiveness of essential antibiotics. This study investigated the detection and antimicrobial susceptibility of ESBL- and AmpC-producing bacteria found in environments associated with livestock and poultry. A combination of bacteriological and molecular methods was used for bacteri

Anatomical variations and pathologies of the maxillary sinus can complicate surgical procedures, making it essential for maxillofacial radiologists to recognize such radiographic signs. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of incidental findings in the maxillary sinus region using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted by analyzing CBCT scans of 60 patients who had undergone imaging solely for dental-related issues. The scans were review

The present study aimed to review the definition, diagnostic approaches, and management protocols of postpartum hemorrhage in contemporary research. Postnatal bleeding refers to hemorrhage originating from the parturient canal, occurring either during the early or late period following childbirth. In most cases, postnatal bleeding occurs as a complication of significant obstetric conditions. The severity of this condition is largely determined by the volume of blood lost. Globally, postpartum bl

Innovation lies at the heart of healthcare, medical device, and biotechnology industries, where companies depend heavily on research, development, and the launch of novel products. However, innovation is often expensive and fraught with challenges in bringing products to market. Aligning business models (BMs) with these innovative processes is therefore essential for managing risk and supporting growth. This study investigates the role and design of BMs in innovative health-tech firms, focusing

Adherence to double-check protocols during medication administration remains limited. Despite this, most administrations of high-risk drugs proceed without adverse events. This study explored how high-risk medications are prepared and administered, identifying real-world variations and the reasoning behind departures from the prescribed standards.Ten hospital wards in the Netherlands took part. Using the Functional Resonance Analysis Method, we produced a model reflecting the national guidance a

A considerable portion of infections arising in medical settings is linked to the hygienic status of the working environment, often tied to inadequate sanitation. To determine how well a combined procedure (cleaning + disinfection) worked at the “Université des Montagnes” Teaching Hospital, this study measured how surface bacterial loads changed after decontamination. The study also examined how isolated bacteria reacted to selected disinfectants. Adjusted protocols for detecting, counting, and

This study aimed to clarify how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) influences several key outcomes in individuals diagnosed with osteoarthritis (OA), including pain relief, risk of hospital readmission, and likelihood of undergoing joint replacement. Patterns of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) prescriptions were further explored to verify their connection with patient prognosis and overall quality of life.A retrospective cohort of 3,850 inpatients with OA admitted between January 2018 and December

Older adults require dedicated healthcare approaches across all medical fields. Turkey currently lacks formal subspecialty training in geriatric emergency medicine (GEM). Consequently, interprofessional education for practitioners delivering GEM services is essential. Team-based learning (TBL) appears to be an effective method for such training. This study sought to design and implement a GEM training program for healthcare workers involved in these services and to assess the program in terms of

This study investigates the levels of anxiety and preparedness for artificial intelligence (AI) among medical students and examines how these factors are related. Between April and June 2022, data were gathered from medical students via both in-person and online questionnaires. The instruments included a socio-demographic form, an AI anxiety scale, and a medical AI readiness scale. Data from 542 participants were analyzed using SPSS version 25, with reliability assessed through Cronbach's α.

This study investigated whether MR-based radiomics can provide imaging biomarkers capable of distinguishing deficiency-type and excess-type Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). A cohort of 121 men with PCa from two institutions was analyzed, with 84 allocated to a training set and 37 to an external validation set. According to TCM diagnostic criteria, patients were classified into deficiency or excess syndrome groups. Quantitative radiomic features

Prolonged coastal industrialization has generated persistent pollution in many marine zones, making restoration actions necessary to eliminate hazardous inorganic contaminants. This study introduces a clean-up strategy tailored for marine sediments enriched with arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg). The approach is suitable for movable treatment units and is intentionally designed to reduce secondary impacts on the environment. The procedure was evaluated on two laboratory-spiked sediments and on two f

Biomedical image interpretation is fundamental to achieving robust imaging performance and supporting numerous clinical workflows. For accurate diagnosis of blood disorders involving red blood cells, these cells must be reliably detected and classified. Manual evaluation is labor-intensive and may introduce inaccuracies. Multi-label samples containing clusters of cells remain difficult to analyze because separating individual elements—especially when cells overlap or touch—is challenging. Modern

This study explored the wound-repair effects of proteins isolated from the latex of Himatanthus drasticus (HdLP) using a murine excisional wound model. Toxicity tests revealed that HdLP, at concentrations between 12.5 and 100 μg/ml, was safe for fibroblast cells, and dermal irritation assays confirmed it did not provoke adverse skin reactions. Wounds were treated with HdLP at 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%, or with a vehicle control, and healing was assessed through gross observation, histology, and analy
