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.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response in lung diseases: molecular pathways and therapeutic interventions

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) occurs when the protein‐folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is overwhelmed, triggering the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore homeostasis. However, severe or persistent ERS can shift the UPR toward pro‐inflammatory, apoptotic, and fibrotic signaling, thereby exacerbating tissue injury ...
