Intimate Partner Violence and Level of Household Food Scarcity in Mozambique.

Although food insecurity in its various forms is consistently associated with the presence of intimate partner violence (IPV), it is still unknown if various levels of severity of hunger predict IPV when important extraneous mental health, interpersonal, and social support indicators are considered. The study applied a posttest-only comparison group quasi-experimental design. The samples were randomly drawn from married women ( = 202) in Mozambique.

Integrating Super-Resolution with Deep Learning for Enhanced Periodontal Bone Loss Segmentation in Panoramic Radiographs.

Periodontal disease is a widespread global health concern that necessitates an accurate diagnosis for effective treatment. Traditional diagnostic methods based on panoramic radiographs are often limited by subjective evaluation and low-resolution imaging, leading to suboptimal precision. This study presents an approach that integrates Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks (SRGANs) with deep learning-based segmentation models to enhance the segmentation of periodontal bone loss (PBL) areas on panoramic radiographs.

Ocular Surface Disease and Dry Eye Severity in Glaucoma Patients at Urban Private Eye Care Centres in Malaysia.

Background: Ocular surface disease (OSD) severity varies among glaucoma patients and is exacerbated by intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering medications.

Purpose: To determine OSD prevalence and dry eye severity among glaucoma patients at nine private clinics in Malaysia.

Methods: This multicentre, cross-sectional observational study recruited glaucoma patients undergoing routine eye examinations, with IOP ≤21mmHg receiving anti-glaucoma eye drops.

Pathologic prostate cancer grade concordance among high-resolution micro-ultrasound, systematic transrectal ultrasound and MRI fusion biopsy.

Background And Objective: Comparative studies among biopsy strategies have not been conducted evaluating pathologic concordance at radical prostatectomy(RP), especially with novel micro-ultrasound (micro-US) image-guided biopsy.

Methods: A retrospective study among patients with PCa who underwent RP following TRUS, MRI-TRUS fusion, microUS, or MRI-microUS fusion biopsy in a multi-site single institution. We compared GG-upgrade from biopsy to RP based on highest GG in any biopsy core and examined clinical/pathologic factors associated with pathologic upgrading using descriptive statistics, and multivariable logistic-regression analysis.
