Department of Epidemiology and Community Health, University of Ilorin and University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria.
Background: Patient satisfaction is an important indicator used to measure quality of care and the performance of healthcare services. This study assessed patient satisfaction with the quality of hypertension care received by both insured and uninsured patients with systemic hypertension.
Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among insured and uninsured patients with systemic hypertension attending the Medical Outpatient Department clinics of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara State, Nigeria, from May to July, 2023.

Background: We evaluated UK nurses' preferences for pediatric hexavalent vaccine attributes.
Research Design And Methods: In a discrete-choice experiment study, 150 nurses chose between 2 hypothetical pediatric hexavalent vaccines with varying attribute levels (device type, plastic in packaging, time on the market, and time the vaccine can stay safely at room temperature) in a series of choice questions. Using random-parameters logit-model estimates, conditional relative attribute importance (CRAI) and odds ratios (ORs) were calculated.

Background: Immune cells within tumor tissues play important roles in remodeling the tumor microenvironment, thus affecting tumor progression and the therapeutic response. The current study was designed to identify key markers of plasma cells and explore their role in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).
Methods: We utilized single-cell sequencing data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify key immune cell types within HGSOC tissues and to extract related markers via the Seurat package.

From the Department of Plastic Surgery, Shanghai East Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine.
Background: Cell-assisted lipotransfer (CAL) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-assisted lipotransfer have been used to overcome the low survival rate of conventional lipotransfer. However, there is still insufficient evidence to determine which technique is the best strategy for autologous fat grafting in breast cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of traditional fat transplantation, CAL, and PRP-assisted lipotransfer.

Motivation: Clustering patients into subgroups based on their microbial compositions can greatly enhance our understanding of the role of microbes in human health and disease etiology. Distance-based clustering methods, such as partitioning around medoids (PAM), are popular due to their computational efficiency and absence of distributional assumptions. However, the performance of these methods can be suboptimal when true cluster memberships are driven by differences in the abundance of only a few microbes, a situation known as the sparse signal scenario.
