Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and subsequent post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) often impair daily activities and mental health (MH), which contribute to long-term TBI-related disability. PTE also affects driving capacity, which impacts functional independence, community participation, and satisfaction with life (SWL). However, studies evaluating the collective impact of PTE on multidimensional outcomes are lacking.

Importance: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or its receptor (anti-CGRP mAbs) offer effective migraine-specific preventive treatment. However, concerns exist about their potential cardiovascular risks due to CGRP blockade.
Objective: To compare the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) between Medicare beneficiaries with migraine who initiated anti-CGRP-mAbs vs onabotulinumtoxinA in the US.

Importance: Previous meta-analyses suggest that fluoride exposure is adversely associated with children's IQ scores. An individual's total fluoride exposure comes primarily from fluoride in drinking water, food, and beverages.
Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological studies investigating children's IQ scores and prenatal or postnatal fluoride exposure.

Neointimal coverage and stent apposition, as assessed from intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images, are crucial for optimizing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Existing state-of-the-art computer algorithms designed to automate this analysis often treat lumen and stent segmentations as separate target entities, applicable only to a single stent type and overlook automation of preselecting which pullback segments need segmentation, thus limit their practicality. This study aimed for an algorithm capable of intelligently handling the entire IVOCT pullback across different phases of PCI and clinical scenarios, including the presence and coexistence of metal and bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS), stent types.

Background: Large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is difficult to resect and accompanied by poor outcome. The aim was to evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent liver resection for large HCC, eventually drawing prediction models for short-term and long-term outcomes.
Methods: 1710 large HCC patients were recruited and randomly divided into the training (n = 1140) and validation (n = 570) cohorts in a 2:1 ratio.
