Abuse and Disrespect in Obstetric Care in the United States: A Qualitative Descriptive Study of Nurse Experiences.

Background: This qualitative descriptive study of the experiences of US labor and delivery nurses follows the World Health Organization's call to address abuse and disrespect of women in maternity care. The majority of research about abuse and disrespect for childbearing women has been conducted in Africa, Asia, and Europe, but the US is unique as a high-income country with largely capitalist or privatized health care. The objective of this study was to gain knowledge about abuse and disrespect in hospital-based maternity care in the US from the perspective of labor and delivery nurses.

The diagnostic and prognostic capability of artificial intelligence in spinal cord injury: A systematic review.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) models have shown potential for diagnosing and prognosticating traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI), but their clinical utility remains uncertain.

Method: ology: The primary aim was to evaluate the performance of AI algorithms in diagnosing and prognosticating tSCI. Subsequent systematic searching of seven databases identified studies evaluating AI models.

Application of Human Plasma/Serum to Cell Culture In Vitro: A Translational Research Approach to Better Define Disease Mechanisms.

In vitro cell culture experiments play an important role in medical research. Various cellular mechanisms and signaling pathways have been identified with in vitro experimental techniques. Unfortunately, the clinical and translational impact of these studies is often limited due to their inability to closely resemble physiological or pathophysiological milieus in cell culture and the use of unrealistic experimental conditions.
