BackgroundThe increasing complexity of patient care and workforce shortages in healthcare systems necessitate improved interprofessional interaction. Digital technologies offer promising solutions to facilitate such interaction across healthcare settings.ObjectivesThis scoping review aimed to identify, categorize, and assess digital technologies that support interprofessional interaction among healthcare professionals, using the NASSS framework to evaluate their implementation context and […]
Cognitive frontiers: neurotechnology and global internet governance
This article explores the largely uncharted intersection of neurotechnology and Internet governance on the international policy agenda. Neurotechnologies encompass a broad spectrum of functions and applications, from the direct recording or alteration of brain activity to the analysis of emotions and mental states through data collected from wearable devices, applications, and AI-based tools. Innovations such […]
Eli Lilly’s triple-G obesity readout; The latest Endpoints 100 results; Public biotechs cash in; and more
Welcome back to another edition of Endpoints Weekly. We’re barreling toward the holiday season, which means it’s time for an early programming note: Our newsletters will go dark between Dec. 24 and Jan. 1. But …
A Unified Mechanism for Depth Perception and Figure-Ground Organization
Understanding how the visual system unifies depth perception and figure ground organization remains a central challenge in vision science. Stereoscopic disparity and border ownership have long been treated as distinct processes, yet both arise with similar timing in area V2 and exhibit strikingly parallel properties. Here we propose a unified mechanism that integrates both within […]
Outcome Evaluation of the M-Mama Emergency Transport System (EmTS) and Factors Associated with its Utilisation among Lactating Mothers in Kigoma District Council
Abstract Background: Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for approximately 70% of maternal deaths worldwide. In Tanzania, the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) has decreased from 556 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2016 to 104 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2022. The major cause of these deaths is limited access to emergency obstetric care. To address this […]
Loneliness and Cognitive Decline Among U.S. Adults: A Stratified Analysis of the BRFSS
Background Loneliness is an emerging public health concern linked to adverse mental and physical outcomes. It may play a key role in cognitive aging, yet its population-level association with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) across demographic groups is not well characterized. We evaluated how the frequency of loneliness relates to SCD in U.S. adults and whether […]
Predicting 7-Day Re-Bleeding after Peptic Ulcer Hemostasis: Retrospective Analysis of Forrest, Complete Rockall, and Glasgow-Blatchford Scores and Independent Risk Factors
Objective To identify independent risk factors for early ([≤]7-day) re-bleeding after peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB) and to compare the predictive performance of Forrest classification, Complete Rockall Score (CRS), and Glasgow-Blatchford Score (GBS). Methods We retrospectively analyzed adults with endoscopy-confirmed peptic ulcer bleeding from 2015-2020. Early re-bleeding was defined as [≤]7 days after index hemostasis. We […]
LioNeo Project – A randomized double-blind phase 2 clinical trial for nutrition of very-low-birth weight infants: A new gold standard?
Fortification of human milk (HM) is essential to meet the nutritional needs of very low birthweight infants (VLBWI). Most available fortifiers are derived from cows milk, raising concerns about tolerability, immunogenicity and access in low-resource settings. LioNeo is a novel multinutrient fortifier produced exclusively from freeze-dried donor HM by a certified Human Milk Bank in […]
