Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of fatigue detection technology (FDT) cabin alarms in reducing fatigue events in rural truck drivers, assess the accuracy in detecting fatigue events alarms and examine whether drivers habituate to alarms over time.

Methods: Longitudinal naturalistic study of fatigue events before and after alarm activation.in 12 rural commercial trucks.

Results: The rate showed fatigue events were significantly higher when alarms were off (0.06), compared to when alarms were activated (0.03) (rate-ratio = 0.5 [0.4, 0.7], p < 0.001). Fatigue events increased as the alarm phase continued, indicating habituation. The device classified fatigue events with 49% precision, 32% were false positives and 18% reclassified as distraction when human verified.

Conclusion: In cabin fatigue alarms significantly reduced the rate of fatigue events initially, however increased again overtime.

Background: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is more precise and flexible than video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. This study compared the early postoperative functional recovery of patients who underwent triportal RATS with that of patients who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (UVATS) for segmentectomy.

Methods: This observational, prospective study included 172 patients with clinical stage I or II peripheral NSCLC who underwent RATS or UVATS segmentectomy.

Background: High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy delivers humidified, heated air with flow rates of up to 60 L/min with oxygen entrained. HFNO has advantages over conventional oxygen therapy, including precise and reliable fraction of inspired oxygen delivery, therefore is recommended as first-line treatment for people with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure.

Objectives: This pilot study aimed to determine the feasibility and acceptability of domiciliary nasal high flow (NHF) without entrained oxygen for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and severe breathlessness.

Background: Until the World Health Organization declared an end to COVID-19 as a global health emergency worldwide in 2023, people with multiple sclerosis (MS) were hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccine. This study aimed to assess the final vaccination status, attitude, and adverse events related to the COVID-19 vaccine among people with MS in Egypt.

Methods: A self-administered survey was offered to people with MS who came to the Alexandria University MS Clinic in Egypt between June 2023 and November 2023.

When to resume antitumor therapy in COVID-19-infected tumor patients: a retrospective, real-world study.

Support Care Cancer

March 2025

Department of Oncology, The Seventh Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, No. 628, Zhenyuan Road, Guangming District, Shenzhen, 518107, China.

Purpose: To study the safety of resuming antitumor therapy in tumor patients infected with COVID-19.

Methods: We collected the clinical information of patients with tumors who were infected with COVID-19 and resume antitumor therapy between December 2022 and June 2023. Information about antitumor therapy, COVID-19-related symptoms, laboratory tests, antitumor therapy-related adverse events (AEs), and re-infection with COVID-19 were recorded.

Sex-Specific Fall Trajectories and Associated Self-Reported Risk Factors: A Prospective Analysis of the 3-Year 5-Country DO-HEALTH Trial.

J Am Med Dir Assoc

March 2025

Research Centre on Aging and Mobility, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland; Department of Aging Medicine and Aging Research, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland. Electronic address:

Objective: Few studies have explored specific trajectories or patterns of falls over time in older adults, and the role of sex and self-reported risk factors for these trajectories were overlooked. This study aimed to identify sex-specific fall trajectories over 3 years and the self-reported risk factors associated with each trajectory in European older adults.

Design: Observational analysis of DO-HEALTH, a double-blind, randomized controlled trial.
