Static web pages may be easy to setup using text processors or user-friendly web editing software. However, some basic knowledge of the implementation (HTML) is usually needed for final editing and maintenance. As a result many static web pages are left without appropriate updating. With a database driven, dynamic approach web contents may change through user interaction, the pages are usually easier to maintain, and design elements are separated from contents. Database driven solutions (or content management systems) for larger organizations may be purchased at many different levels of complexity. For smaller systems, such as separate courses or projects, they may, however, be developed locally. The present study compares four alternative technologies for database driven web pages. Each technology offers advantages and disadvantages and many issues need to be considered when selecting platform. The present study demonstrates that database driven web pages may be effectively deployed using free Open Source software. Details may be found at www.intermed.dk/datadriven.

Early-onset (EOCC) and late-onset cervical cancers (LOCC) represent two clinically distinct subtypes, each defined by unique clinical manifestations and therapeutic responses. However, their immunological profiles remain poorly explored. Herein, we analyzed single-cell transcriptomic data from 4 EOCC and 4 LOCC samples to compare their immune architectures.

Aim: Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) poses significant treatment challenges due to a lack of consensus on the diverse range of surgical approaches routinely employed, prompting a renewed focus on the patient experience. The aim of this study was to explore the lived experience of patients with PSD to better inform future person-centred treatment.

Method: A systematic review was performed to identify papers reporting qualitative studies on the lived experience of PSD.

Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) are a growing concern for aquatic ecosystems, underscoring the need for advanced risk assessment methodologies. This study employed an integrated approach to evaluate the risks associated with 563 EOCs across 13 monitoring sites along the Sava River in Croatia. Sampling was conducted during the winter and spring months, spanning February to May.

A scoping review protocol on brain PaCO2 levels at altitude.

Division of Neurology, Department of Medicine, The Ottawa Hospital, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Background: Aeromedical transfer of patients with ischemic stroke to access hyperacute stroke treatment is becoming increasingly common. Little is known about how rapid changes of altitude and atmospheric pressure can impact cerebral perfusion and ischemic burden. In patients with ischemic stroke, there is a theoretical possibility that this physiologic response of hypoxia-driven hyperventilation at higher altitude can lead to a relative drop in PaCO2.

Identifying cancer prognosis genes through causal learning.

School of Artificial Intelligence, Jilin University, 3003 Qianjin Street, 130012 Changchun, China.

Accurate identification of causal genes for cancer prognosis is critical for estimating disease progression and guiding treatment interventions. In this study, we propose CPCG (Cancer Prognosis's Causal Gene), a two-stage framework identifying gene sets causally associated with patient prognosis across diverse cancer types using transcriptomic data. Initially, an ensemble approach models gene expression's impact on survival with parametric and semiparametric hazard models.
