Integrating polygenic and methylation risk scores for pleural mesothelioma risk stratification

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Asbestos exposure is a major risk factor for pleural mesothelioma (PM). Most asbestos‐exposed individuals do not develop PM, suggesting that it arises from a complex interplay between environmental and genetic factors. This study examined the utility of polygenic risk scores (PRS) and methylation risk scores (MRS) in incorporating genetic ...

Artificial intelligence for personalized multiple micronutrient supplementation in maternal health

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies remain pervasive, contributing to adverse pregnancy outcomes and long‐term health risks for mothers and offspring. Multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) during pregnancy has demonstrated benefits, including reduced risks of low birth weight, small‐for‐gestational‐age births, and ...

Diagnostic Performance of Comprehensive Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound for Pediatric Tuberculosis in Spain: A Prospective Observational Study

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
In children with presumptive tuberculosis, comprehensive point‐of‐care (cPOCUS) identified key thoracic abnormalities with high specificity and excellent inter‐reader reliability. Although diagnostic sensitivity was modest and examinations often incomplete, cPOCUS shows promise as a complementary, radiation‐free imaging tool.
