Objectives: Sticking is one of the most common and damaging issues that occur during tablet manufacturing. Sticking is the adhesion of powder onto tooling surfaces during compression. Because of the numerous factors involved in its occurrence, understanding tablet sticking requires the simultaneous investigation of these factors to clarify their possible interactions. However, conducting such a study experimentally can present a significant financial and technical burden. In this study, we aimed to leverage the large amount of data that is usually generated during industrial manufacturing to gain insights into sticking.
Methods: This was achieved by collecting and analyzing a total of 71 historical batches that used an ibuprofen-based formulation. We associate each batch with a hundred parameters, including a qualitative descriptor of sticking, and employ a predefined methodology based primarily on multivariate data analysis.
Results And Conclusions: Our results highlight the role of lubrication, water content, and the low melting point of ibuprofen in its sticking tendency. Based on these findings, we propose and discuss an industrial manufacturing data analysis approach to sticking and its associated systematic methodology, consisting of collection, exploration, and data modeling.

Background: Manual extraction of real-world clinical data for research can be time-consuming and prone to error. We assessed the feasibility of using natural language processing (NLP), an AI technique, to automate data extraction for patients with advanced lung cancer (aLC). We assessed the external validity of our NLP-extracted data by comparing our findings to those reported in the literature.

Background: High blood pressure (BP) is linked to unhealthy lifestyles, and its treatment includes medications and exercise therapy. Many previous studies have evaluated the effects of exercise on BP improvement; however, exercise requires securing a location, time, and staff, which can be challenging in clinical settings. The antihypertensive effects of dance exercise for patients with hypertension have already been verified, and it has been found that adherence and dropout rates are better compared to other forms of exercise.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the levels and sources of noise in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU) of an emergency department and investigate their effects on the sleep quality of conscious patients.
Methods: A study was conducted on patients admitted to the EICU from December 2020 to December 2023. They were categorised according to their sleep quality with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.
Surgical Site Infection After Sacral Neuromodulation: Impact of Postoperative Antibiotics.

From the Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery at the Women and Infants Hospital, Providence, RI.
Importance: There are limited data to guide practices to reduce surgical site infections following sacral neuromodulation; however, many surgeons prescribe prophylactic postoperative antibiotics after device implantation.
Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the proportion of patients with sacral neuromodulation device-associated surgical site infections after use of prophylactic postoperative antibiotics versus none.
Study Design: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing sacral neuromodulation device implantation at 11 institutions from January 2014 to December 2023, comparing outcomes in patients who did versus did not receive prophylactic postoperative antibiotic treatment.
Association between clinical laboratory indicators and WOMAC scores in Qatar Biobank participants: The impact of testosterone and fibrinogen on pain, stiffness, and functional limitation.

Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Health Sciences, QU Health, Qatar University, Doha 2713, Qatar.
Objectives: The association between baseline laboratory parameters and experienced well-being in healthy individuals remains uncertain. This study explored the relationship between clinical laboratory profiles and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores for pain, stiffness, and physical functional limitation in healthy individuals in Qatar.
Methods: Clinical laboratory data were collected from 1,764 Qatar Biobank participants who also completed the WOMAC questionnaire: lipid profiles (high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, cholesterol, and triglycerides), endocrine markers (TSH, T3, T4, estradiol, and testosterone), and two inflammatory markers (CRP and fibrinogen).
