Feline Infectious Peritonitis Effusion Index: A Novel Diagnostic Method and Validation of Flow Cytometry-Based Delta Total Nucleated Cells Analysis on the Sysmex XN-1000V.

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led the medical and scientific community to explore the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of coronaviruses. In felines, a widespread coronavirus known as feline coronavirus (FCoV) can lead to feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a highly fatal disease characterised by severe systemic inflammation. Diagnosing FCoV remains challenging due to the limited accuracy of the available methods.

Mpox Vaccine Hesitancy Among Brazilian Men Who Have Sex with Men: A National Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Mpox is a viral zoonosis that has gained increased attention due to a global outbreak in 2022, significantly impacting men who have sex with men (MSM). Vaccination for this disease poses a public health challenge; because it carries a strong stigma, there may be greater hesitancy in vulnerable groups.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with Mpox vaccine hesitancy among Brazilian MSM.

Effectiveness of physical activity counselling and exercise prescription education among medical students: a systematic review.

Background: Providing physical activity counselling and prescribing exercise increases patients' activity and cardiorespiratory fitness, but healthcare providers experience challenges in promoting activity to patients. Implementing educational intervention during medical training may be an effective strategy to promote physical activity and exercise counselling/prescriptions. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the impact of educational interventions on medical students' physical activity counselling and exercise prescription perceptions and practices.

Age- and sex-associated alterations in hypothalamic mitochondrial bioenergetics and inflammatory-associated signaling in the 3xTg mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and associated inflammatory signaling are pivotal in both aging and in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Studies have also shown that hypothalamic function is affected in AD. The hypothalamus may be a target for AD drugs given that mitochondrial alterations are observed in the hypothalamus.

Patients with associated spine or other major joint pain have equivalent outcomes to patients with isolated hip pain after hip arthroscopy.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of patients following surgery diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) who also experience low back and other joint pain compared to those with isolated hip pain.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with FAIS, with or without other joint pain, treated with hip arthroscopy from 2016 to 2020. Excluded cases were patients who had significant arthritis, irreparable labral tear requiring reconstruction, or were lost follow-up.

Assessing the feasibility of an integrated collection of education modules for fall and fracture prevention (iCARE) for healthcare providers in long term care: A longitudinal study.

Falls and hip fractures are a major health concern among older adults in long term care (LTC) with almost 50% of residents experiencing a fall annually. Hip fractures are one of the most important and frequent fall-related injuries in LTC. There is moderate to strong certainty evidence that multifactorial interventions may reduce the risk of falls and fractures; however, there is little evidence to support its implementation.

Deciphering the potential of (DC.) Stapf as an anti-obesity agent: phytochemical profiling, evaluations and molecular docking studies.

Based on its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, (DC) Stapf is commonly used in traditional and modern medicine to cure different diseases. The present study investigates the potential of organic extract as an anti-obesity drug in a HCHFD (high-carbohydrate, high-fat diet) model for obese rats. Its negative hypolipidemic effect has been confirmed through biochemical and histological methods.

Predictive Factors Driving Positive Awake Test in Carotid Endarterectomy Using Machine Learning.

Background: Positive neurologic awake testing during the carotid cross-clamping may be present in around 8% of patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The present work aimed to assess the accuracy of an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered risk calculator in predicting intraoperative neurologic deficits (INDs).

Methods: Data was collected from carotid interventions performed between January 2012 and January 2023 under regional anesthesia.

Analysis of Risk Factors, Treatment Patterns, and Survival Outcomes After Emergency Presentation With Colorectal Cancer: A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study in Nigeria.

Background And Objectives: Prospective data on presentation and outcomes of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Nigeria are limited; however, emergency presentation with advanced disease is thought common.

Methods: Consecutive CRC patients presenting at six sites over 6 years were included. Risk factors for emergency presentation were evaluated using logistic regression methods.

Violence against healthcare professionals: perspective of local focal points in the south of Portugal.

Background: Violence against health professionals is a growing problem that affects the quality of care provided and the well-being of workers. In the Alentejo region (Southern Portugal), the Regional Health Administration has been developing strategies to prevent and combat this phenomenon, namely, through the implementation of the Action Plan for the Prevention of Violence in the Health Sector. Violence in the health sector includes all situations in which a worker in the Ministry of Health's health institutions is exposed to any type of violence related to their work, putting their safety, well-being or health at risk, or that of others.
