Classifying Schizophrenia Using Functional MRI and Investigating Underlying Functional Phenomena.

Unlabelled: BACKGROUND：: Existing studies have revealed functional abnormalities in certain brain regions of patients with schizophrenia (SZ), but the relationships between these abnormalities and their impact on disease progression remain unclear.

Methods: Fifty-six patients with SZ and 56 healthy controls were included. Based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, we analyzed fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), and degree centrality (DC).

Effectiveness of emergency food assistance programs during COVID-19 at Union Parishad: Mediating role of political neutrality.

Union Parishads (UPs) launched Emergency Food Assistance Programmes (EFAPs) in Bangladesh to address food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite its importance, EFAP had resource shortages, logistical barriers, and potential gaps in coverage. This study evaluates the critical factors of EFAP's contribution to food insecurity, including governance practices, political dynamics, and operational capabilities.

Ascending colon carcinoma presenting as ileocecal intussusception in an adult-a case report with review of literature.

Intussusception is telescoping of a proximal segment of gastrointestinal tract within the lumen of another. Intussusception is a common presentation in pediatric population and present with a classic triad of abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea and a palpable mass. However, intussusception in adults is a rare entity accounting for only 5% of the total cases and is the underlying cause for 1%-5% of all the cases of intestinal obstruction.

Optimizing Outcomes in Gallbladder Cancer: Identifying Predictors of Futile Up-Front Surgery in a Global Multi-center Study.

Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) has a poor prognosis, particularly in advanced stages, with surgery often offering limited survival benefit. This study aimed to identify risk factors for futile surgery (FS), defined as procedures followed by early recurrence or death.

Methods: An international cohort of 788 patients who underwent up-front GBC surgery across 18 centers was analyzed.

Seroprevalence of melioidosis and its associated risk factors -A population-based study in Odisha, Eastern India.

Melioidosis, caused by , is an emerging disease in Odisha, a state in eastern coastal India. Difficult to diagnose, the disease is likely to be severely underreported. Seroprevalence studies in the general population are deemed necessary for an estimate of melioidosis endemicity and to explore the associated risk factors.
