Prevalence and determinants of anaemia in South Asian diaspora women residing in Hong Kong: An exploratory cross-sectional study.

Background: Anaemia has been a significant public health challenge for the South Asian community, in particular women and migrant populations. Despite abundant research in developed Western settings, evidence in urbanized Asian settings is extremely scarce for comparisons. This study aims to assess the prevalence and social determinants of anaemia in South Asian women residing in Hong Kong, an advanced economy in Asia.

Helmet use patterns in urban trauma centers in New York City: A retrospective review of patients from 2013 to 2022.

Background: There has been a recent rise in micromobility device use, which can be attributed to the increase in delivery services, faster 2-wheeled vehicles, and COVID. However, the rate of helmet use is largely unknown. We aim to document the trends and identify risk factors for helmet use over the last decade in urban trauma centers in New York City to find opportunities for intervention.

Tumor Immunophenotypic Correlates in Patients Aged 80 Years or Older With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Outcomes to First-Line Pembrolizumab in PD-L1 High (≥50%) Patients.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients aged ≥80 years [y] are underrepresented in clinical trials. We evaluated whether age correlates with a distinct immunophenotype or impacts outcomes to first-line pembrolizumab in patients with advanced NSCLC, PD-L1 Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) of ≥50%, and aged ≥80y.

Methods: Three NSCLC cohorts were retrospectively analyzed to assess the impact of age (<80y versus ≥80y) on pembrolizumab efficacy and the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Deep transcriptome and metabolome analysis to dissect untapped spatial dynamics of specialized metabolism in Saussurea costus (Falc.) Lipsch.

Saussurea costus (Falc.) is an endangered medicinal plant possessing diverse phytochemical compounds with clinical significance and used to treat numerous human ailments. Despite the source of enriched phytochemicals, molecular insights into spatialized metabolism are poorly understood in S.

Factors associated with delayed health-seeking behaviour and disease severity on admission among patients diagnosed with acute encephalitis syndrome: an observational study from North India.

Introduction: Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) poses a significant health challenge to children across India. Late arrival at tertiary care hospitals is a primary contributor to disease severity and poor outcomes. This study identifies the determinants of delayed health seeking and disease severity in AES cases.
