Dengue severity and profiles of complement activation and immune mediators: A multicenter cohort study in Indonesia
Background Dengue virus (DENV) infection can manifest as dengue fever (DF) or dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), although DHF often becomes clinically apparent around defervescence. H...
Getting over the hurdles to save lives: Incorporating perceived barriers into theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model to predict stated intention among Hong Kong trained laymen
Background The ‘Intention-focused model’ is advocated for educating bystanders in Basic Life Support (BLS), consisting of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defib...
Students’ engagement with AI-supported learning and its association with academic interest and career intentions in business analytics education
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly embedded in higher education, yet limited research has examined how sustained AI usage intentions in AI-supported learning environments are associat...
Readability, quality, and reliability of AI-generated ınformation on myofascial pain syndrome: A comparative analysis of ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity
Patients seeking information about Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS), which affects a large segment of the population, are increasingly turning to AI-based chatbots as an alternative to traditional metho...
Religious ceremonies and the ethical development of medical sciences students: A qualitative study on participation barriers and perceived value
Religious ceremonies can play a pivotal role in shaping ethical values among medical sciences students. However, participation in such ceremonies is often influenced by multiple academic, social, and...
The association of presbyphagia with urinary incontinence and Incontinence-related quality of life in nursing home residents: A cross-sectional study
Purpose The association between presbyphagia (age-related swallowing decline) and urinary incontinence (UI) remains poorly understood. This study therefore investigated the relatio...
Association of leuko-glycemic index with mortality in ICU patients with Acute kidney injury: A retrospective multicenter cohort study

In silico characterization of bioactive phytochemicals as antivirals targeting the reovirus σ1 protein for inhibiting σ1-mediated host cell entry
Mammalian orthoreoviruses (MRVs), commonly known as reoviruses, are an emerging zoonotic threat that are known for their broad host tropism and potential for causing severe clinica...
Performance of doubled haploid maize (Zea mays L.) testcross hybrids under optimal and drought-stressed environments
Maize ( Zea mays L.) productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa is increasingly constrained by recurrent drought linked to climate change. Improving yield stability und...
In silico pharmacological analysis of Tinospora cordifolia compounds targeting African swine fever virus B175L
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly lethal DNA virus that suppresses the host’s immune response by establishing infection. B175L, one of its key immune-evasion proteins, directly inhibits STI...
