Refining Osteoarthritis Risk Prediction: Average Sagittal Abdominal Diameter Complements and Enhances Body Mass Index With Sex‐Specific Insights From National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
Our findings support the integration of ASAD alongside BMI in OA risk assessment, particularly in female populations, to address limitations of BMI‐centric models. Implementing our proposed approach could enable refined, sex‐, and age‐targeted preventive interventions.

National and Subnational Models of Care That Support Primary Health Care: A Mixed‐Methods Study

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2020, the World Health Assembly called on countries to reorient their models of care (MOCs) toward primary health care (PHC). This study's objectives were to (a) describe common use of the concept of MOC; and (b) identify implemented MOCs and their components that support PHC at national and subnational levels. A scoping review charted data

Physical agents' level in women with primary dysmenorrhea: A cross‐sectional observational study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Primary dysmenorrhea (PD), menstrual pain in the absence of pathology, is the main reason for gynecological consultation in young women. Physical agents, used in physiotherapy for therapeutic purposes, can be self‐used by women with primary dysmenorrhea.

Streamlining Paediatric Palliative Radiotherapy: A Case Study on Reducing Procedural Burden and Avoiding General Anaesthesia Using a Simulation‐Free Radiotherapy (SF‐RT) Protocol

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This paper presents two cases of young children who were treated with simulation‐free radiotherapy. We demonstrate that this workflow is feasible in children requiring palliative radiotherapy with the potential to expedite treatment, reduce procedural burden on the child and their family, and eliminate a general anaesthetic procedure.

Pre‐ and Post‐Interventional Hemodynamic Characterization of the Femoropopliteal Artery Using Vector Flow Imaging in Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives The femoropopliteal (FP) artery is the most frequently revascularized segment in peripheral artery disease (PAD), followed by the iliac segment. Wall shear stress (WSS) is a key local factor implicated in both atherosclerotic plaque formation and restenosis after angioplasty.

Value of 2‐Dimensional Shear‐Wave Elastography in Assessing Tibial Nerve Stiffness in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives The morphological alterations of the tibial nerve in patients with diabetes mellitus, both with and without diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), are challenging to differentiate using B‐mode ultrasound. In this study, we assessed the stiffness changes of the tibial nerve by 2‐dimensional shear‐wave elastography (2D‐SWE). Methods We gathered

Melatonin Exerts Chondroprotective Effects Against Osteoarthritis by Promoting PI3K/AKT/FoxO3‐Mediated Mitophagy

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease. This study combines bioinformatics analysis with in vivo and in vitro experiments to elucidate the molecular mechanisms through which melatonin (MT) regulates mitophagy to alleviate OA.

USP7 Regulates TRPV1 Deubiquitination to Mediate Chondrocyte Ferroptosis and Alleviate Osteoarthritis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease characterized by chondrocyte dysfunction. In this study, we explored the function and mechanism of ubiquitin‐specific protease 7 (USP7) in chondrocyte ferroptosis in OA. The USP7, TRPV1, collagen II, and GPX4 levels in knee joint tissue were detected using immunohistochemistry ...
