Background And Aims: Wilson disease (WD) results in the defective incorporation of copper into ceruloplasmin as well as decreased biliary copper excretion. Secondary iron overload has also been associated with WD; however, the prevalence is currently unknown. This study aims to determine the prevalence of potential secondary iron overload in patients suspected to have WD.

Methods: We compared quality, efficiency, staff satisfaction, and financial data from the 6 months after the AI-augmented laboratory test system was deployed (test period) with data from the same 6-month period in the previous year (control period) to determine if AI-augmentation improved key performance indicators of this laboratory test.
Results: In the 6 months following the deployment (test period) of the AI-augmented kidney stone composition test system, 44 830 kidney stones were analyzed.
Objective: The objective is to explore the experiences of children and young people (CYP) with cancer, their parents, and healthcare professionals (HCPs) involved in their care of oral mucositis.
Design: A qualitative study was conducted. CYP with experience of mucositis were purposively sampled, aiming for diversity in age, sex and cancer diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated a behavior change intervention aimed at reducing dental caries in secondary school children in the UK, involving 4680 participants from 42 schools over 2.5 years, with a focus on schools with higher free school meal eligibility to address low household income.
- - Data collection included mixed methods such as self-reported questionnaires, staff feedback, and interviews to assess implementation fidelity, acceptability, and contextual factors surrounding the intervention.
- - While the intervention was mostly implemented as planned, challenges included inconsistent delivery of classroom sessions and technical issues with text messages; despite this, the intervention was generally deemed acceptable by participants.
Purpose: The (Dobbs) Supreme Court decision revoked the constitutional right to abortion. Now, restrictive state abortion laws may contribute to the shortage and strain already felt in primary care practice, especially related to the provision of reproductive health care. The purpose of this study is to evaluate perceived impacts of state abortion legislation on family medicine clinicians' practice and medical education regarding reproductive health care.
