Hematological parameters and associated factors among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus attending selected hospitals in Garowe, Puntland, Somalia: A comparative cross-sectional study

Thu, Jul 16, 2026, 05:00 AM

CONCLUSIONS: Absolute neutrophil count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, mean platelet volume, and platelet distribution width differed significantly between type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and the comparative group. Anemia, monocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis were the most frequently observed hematological abnormalities in both groups. Poor glycemic control was significantly associated with anemia, while elevated systolic blood pressure was...
Videoconferencing for Physical Function Assessment in Patients with CKD

Thu, Jul 16, 2026, 05:00 AM

CONCLUSIONS: Videoconference-based physical function assessments conducted in a controlled research environment demonstrated acceptable validity, reliability, and usability in adults with CKD. Larger, multicenter studies are needed to confirm these findings across diverse CKD populations and home-based settings, and to refine approaches for remote assessment of gait speed.
Trajectory-specific motion-induced electromotive force assessment of pacemaker-carrying workers in MRI environments

Thu, Jul 16, 2026, 05:00 AM

CONCLUSIONS: Motion-induced EMF in MRI fringe fields depends on local spatial field gradients and motion characteristics rather than nominal field strength alone. The proposed measurement-based framework provides spatially resolved, scenario-specific estimates of EMF and can be applied to different MRI systems given appropriate field maps. This approach complements existing safety assessments by addressing motion-related exposure conditions not explicitly covered in standard evaluations.
The Field's mall shooting: Post-traumatic stress reactions among survivors-Does diagnostic manual make a difference?

Thu, Jul 16, 2026, 05:00 AM

CONCLUSION: The present study expands disaster research with finding close similarities between two diagnostic systems and aligns disaster research on findings of the role of gender, injury, and psychological factors. The results also point to the need for a proactive approach to intervention.
Disaster preparedness for vulnerable populations during a pandemic: Part 2: The origins of a pandemic: Emerging infectious diseases, bioterrorism, and laboratory accidents

Thu, Jul 16, 2026, 05:00 AM

CONCLUSIONS: Although pandemics can have significant adverse effects on the general population, vulnerable individuals have the greatest morbidity and mortality and are at the greatest risk. Efforts are warranted to better address the negative impact of a pandemic, not just for the general population but also for individuals with access and functional needs, and to find solutions that can help mitigate the consequences of a pandemic.
