Participation in sports can influence subjective life expectancy (SLE) among older Chinese adults, yet differences between direct physical exercise and indirect engagement through spectating are not well understood. This study distinguishes the effects of physical exercise and sports spectating-further differentiating online from offline viewing-on older adults' SLE, and examines the mediating roles of social integration and health status.

Early identification of pathological changes in high myopia (HM) with tessellated fundus (TF) remains challenging. To address this, a diagnostic nomogram was developed and validated to aid clinical screening of pathologic myopia (PM) in HM patients with TF.

Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide and ranks third as a cause of disability. The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) recommends that treatment begin within three hours of onset with intravenous thrombolysis therapy. This scoping review aimed to identify the factors that influence the delay in intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) management in patients with ischemic stroke.

 Exposure to pharmaceutical poisoning affects people of all ages around the globe, and this is a serious emergency and a major problem. The unsafe medication disposal, such as keeping it at home until it expires, throwing it away in household garbage, giving it to friends/relatives, and flushing it down the toilet, has the consequences of this accidental, homicidal, or suicidal pharmaceutical poisoning toward international communities that range from short-term illness to long-term complications. However, the impact of pharmaceutical poisoning on the Malaysian population is a regular and frequent practice of disposal methods for pharmaceutical waste, and the awareness of pharmaceutical waste can have an adverse impact.

Interdialytic hyperkalemia is linked to a heightened risk of adverse clinical outcomes among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram to assess the risk of interdialytic hyperkalemia in this patient population.

The Western Pacific Region is experiencing accelerated population aging, and diseases related to Low Bone Mineral Density (LBMD) have become a major public health challenge for the elderly population. Therefore, this study aims to assess the trends in the diseases burden of LBMD among the population aged 60 and above in the Western Pacific Region from 1990 to 2021, as well as its relationship with the human resources for health (HRH).

The rapid advancement of medical brain-computer interface (BCI) technology necessitates the transformation and upgrading of traditional governance paradigms urgently. China, the United States, and the European Union hold prominent positions in the global medical BCI landscape and have developed three highly representative governance models. Existing research on medical BCI primarily focuses on specific countries or regions, but it has failed to conduct a comprehensive comparison of governance frameworks across different jurisdictions from a horizontal perspective. In this study, a horizontal policy text analysis was employed to comprehensively compare the divergent approaches of China, the United States, and the European Union in regulating medical BCI, focusing on regulatory frameworks, approval procedures, neural data governance, and ethical governance. China's medical BCI governance is state-led, prioritizing safety; the United States features innovation-driven flexibility; the European Union uses an empowerment model to strictly mitigate risks. Yet these three models have inherent drawbacks. To ensure the healthy development of medical BCI, we suggest China, the United States, the European Union and other jurisdictions establish a lifecycle regulatory mechanism, introduce the regulatory sandbox, promote collaborative governance among multiple subjects, build hierarchical informed consent rules, endow users with neurorights and refine BCI ethical governance.

This protocol's objective is to offer evidence-based suggestions for the identification, treatment, and management of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) in Saudi Arabia. EB is a rare genetic condition that results in blistering and skin fragility. Depending on the subtype, it can produce a variety of consequences. The four primary kinds of EB are EB Simplex, Junctional EB, Dystrophic EB, and Kindler EB. This guideline provides a thorough understanding of EB and describes diagnostic techniques including genetic testing and immunofluorescence mapping. The significance of an interdisciplinary team (IDT) approach in treating severe instances is also covered, guaranteeing integrated treatment across wound care, nutrition, dermatology, genetics, and psychosocial support. In addition, the guideline discusses the role of new treatments for EB, such as Beremagene geperpavec (B-VEC), and stresses the necessity of creating a National Saudi EB Registry to maximize patient care and guarantee fair access to treatment. The guideline also emphasizes the importance of genetic counseling for prenatal diagnosis, family planning, and parental screening, as well as the need to address the psychological difficulties that people living with EB and their families face. In summary, this guideline offers a structured framework for physicians and healthcare providers to guarantee the best possible care for people living with EB in Saudi Arabia, with the goal of improving clinical outcomes, quality of life, and long-term management of the disease.

To enhance healthcare service quality and foster harmonious doctor-patient relationships, it is necessary to explore the impact of physicians' overwork on patient satisfaction, with the mediating roles of physician-nurse collaboration and patients' medical risk perception in these relationships.

The aim of this study was to examine how health-care professionals in assault centers in Norway navigate biomedical ethical principles, health-care legislation, and the mandatory reporting law when working with victims of intimate partner violence (IPV). The study was guided by the following research questions: How do health-care professionals in assault centers apply the law for mandatory reporting of IPV (MR-IPV)? How do they navigate various factors when they consider applying the MR-IPV law?.

Afghan women and girls have been prohibited from working outside the home, attending schools and universities, traveling without a male companion, and, banned from studying in medical institutes in courses such as midwifery and nursing. Here we discuss how the current policies in Afghanistan affect early child marriage and education of young girls and the consequences on women's health. These restrictions have, and will continue to have, significant impacts on the health and wellbeing of women and girls in Afghanistan reversing advances made in the last two decades. These limitations increase the vulnerability of girls to early marriage leading to increased adolescent pregnancies, maternal and infant mortality and morbidity, mental health consequences, and gender-based violence. Limiting available female healthcare providers further threatens maternal health by reducing already limited access to care. Urgent national and international action is needed to restore access to education and healthcare to safeguard women's rights and protect the health and lives of mothers and their children in Afghanistan.
