We propose an approach to multilingual medical document retrieval in which complex word forms are segmented according to medically relevant morpho-semantic criteria. At its core lies a multilingual dictionary, in which entries are equivalence classes of subwords, i.e. semantically minimal units. Using two different standard test collections for the medical domain, we evaluate our approach for six languages covered by our system.

Time Is a Tool: Evaluation of a Prolonged Casualty Care Curriculum With a Focus on Temporal Fidelity.
Mil Med
January 2025
Department of Military and Emergency Medicine, Uniformed Services University, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA.
Introduction: In current and anticipated future conflicts, including large-scale combat operations, medical teams are tasked to provide prolonged casualty care (PCC) or extended patient care that occurs when delays in evacuation exceed the team's capabilities. Although the principles of PCC are often taught to military medical providers using simulation, educators rarely dedicate the time to training required to simulate the prolonged nature of these encounters. Therefore, a lack of knowledge exists regarding which aspects of extended care may be lost in an accelerated training scenario.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 20, Renmin South Road, Section 3, Chengdu, 610041, Sichuan Province, China.
Background: The prevalence of conditions necessitating anticoagulation therapy among pregnant women has been steadily increasing. Although low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is commonly used, several studies have investigated the use of fondaparinux in pregnant women. However, the safety profile of fondaparinux in this population remains to be fully elucidated.

Luxembourg Centre for Educational Testing, University of Luxembourg, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg.
Previous research estimated a prevalence of 3.4% Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI)-related visual problems within primary school children, potentially compromising students' performance. This study aimed to clarify how CVI-related visual difficulties relate to academic performance in standardized achievement tests.

Spontaneous neural activity coherently relays information across the brain. Several efforts have been made to understand how spontaneous neural activity evolves at the macro-scale level as measured by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI). Previous studies observe the global patterns and flow of information in rsfMRI using methods such as sliding window or temporal lags.

January 2025
National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia.
Background: Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC), a leading non-governmental organization (NGO), implemented a large-scale Home Fortification (HF) with Micronutrient Powder (MNP) programme from 2013 to 2018 aimed to reduce undernutrition and iron deficiency anemia among children aged below 5 years old. An adequate and timely supply of MNP was crucial for successful implementation of the programme, but very few studies have documented implementers' MNP supply chain experiences. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the barriers and enablers in the MNP supply chain in Bangladesh.
