An Evaluation of a Molecular Point‐of‐Care Testing System Designed for Early Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
On the basis of RT‐qPCR results, 549 oropharyngeal swabs were classified into four groups: MP‐positive (n = 109), MP‐negative (n = 160), RSV‐positive (n = 122), and RSV‐negative (n = 158). Using these as the reference standard, we evaluated a molecular point‐of‐care testing (mPOCT) system (EasyNAT) for simultaneous MP and RSV detection.

Pilot implementation and evaluation of a social risk screening tool for hospitalised patients in Singapore

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Routine in‐hospital screening of social risk factors linked with poor health outcomes is not done in Singapore, where an aging population pays for 25% healthcare costs out‐of‐pocket despite universal coverage. Objective We developed and implemented a social risk screening tool for hospitalised patients and reported the association ...

Deciphering nodal burden in thyroid carcinoma: A dedicated survey of age, lymph node ratio, log odds of positive nodes, and preoperative prediction models

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Evidence regarding the prognosis of thyroid carcinoma is heterogeneous, ranging from age effects and nodal burden metrics, such as lymph node ratio (LNR) and log odds of positive nodes (LODDS), to preoperative imaging models comprising ultrasound, CEUS, and radiomics.

Evaluating the Diagnostic Utility of Spinal Ultrasound in Neonates With a Simple Sacral Dimple: An Eight‐Year Retrospective Study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study retrospectively analysed eight years of neonatal spinal ultrasound data from a major Australian children's hospital to assess the value of imaging for simple sacral dimples. Out of 448 scans, 195 were for an isolated simple dimple, and only two infants (1%) were found to have spinal dysraphism, both with other congenital anomalies.

Relationships between periodontitis, tooth loss, and metabolic syndrome indicators

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigates how poor oral health impacts metabolic alterations, specifically evaluating the effects of periodontitis and tooth loss, either individually or in combination, on the number of metabolic syndrome (MetS) indicators.

Beta Human Papillomaviruses Seropositivity and the Association With Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is one of the most common nonmelanoma skin cancers, with increasing incidence globally. Beta genus human papillomaviruses (β‐HPVs), particularly in immunocompromised individuals, have been implicated in the development of cSCC. However, the strength of association between β‐HPV seropositivity
