Stem cell therapy use in patients with dementia: a systematic review
Abstract
Background Stem cell therapy (SCT) is increasingly recognized for its potential in managing cognitive impairment,
particularly that of dementia. The application of SCT aims to restore cognitive functioning in people living with
dementia.…

Stem cell therapies and glioma stem cells in glioblastoma: a systematic review of current challenges and research directions
Abstract
Background Glioblastoma is the most aggressive tumor of glial origin and the most common, as established by the
World Health Organization. GBM has been one of the most intractable tumors with minimal progress in prognosis
despite decades…

Epidemiology of selected communicable
diseases in Rwanda: a comprehensive analysis
of the prevalence of major infectious diseases
in Rwanda
Abstract
Background Communicable diseases remain a major public health challenge in Rwanda, contributing significantly
to morbidity and mortality. Despite notable progress in reducing the burden of infectious diseases such as malaria,
HIV/AIDS,…

Predictive value of venous bicarbonate levels for survival to hospital discharge in out-of- hospital cardiac arrest patients
Abstract
Background Acid-base disturbances significantly impact cardiac function and prognostic outcomes in cardiac arrest.
Previous studies have highlighted the correlation between pH levels from arterial blood gas (ABG) analyses…

Clinical and demographic profiling of snakebite envenomation in a tertiary care centre in northern India
Abstract
Background Snake bites are a major cause of emergency visits in tropical countries like India, with actual mortality
and morbidity likely higher due to underreporting. The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical and…

Quantitative effects of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation devices in rural American emergency medical services: a retrospective cohort study
Abstract
Background Emergency medical service agencies increasingly utilize medical devices which perform external chest
compressions during cardiac arrest. Due to the unique staffing and budget considerations of the rural emergency
medical…

Prothrombin time predicting time‐dependent and risk‐stratified mortality
in polytrauma patients
Abstract
Background Polytrauma is associated with a high mortality rate and often accompanied by coagulopathy. Pro‐
thrombin time (PT) is a prognostic factor for mortality in polytrauma patients.
The aim was to analyze the time- and…

Clinical characteristics and factors influencing hospitalization in pediatric patients with foreign body aspiration: a comprehensive analysis in an emergency department
Abstract
Background Foreign body aspiration (FBA) in children is a potentially life-threatening event, especially in those
under 3 years of age. This study aimed to identify clinical factors associated with hospitalization in pediatric FBA and
to…

Machine learning-based classification of carotid plaques via ultrasound: a systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic performance
Abstract
Background Machine learning (ML) models have gained traction for classifying carotid artery plaques via ultrasound
imaging to differentiate high-risk (unstable) from low-risk (stable) plaques, a critical step for stroke risk…

Unusual presentation of a patient with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections without a septal defect: a case report and literature review
Abstract
Introduction Partial anomalous pulmonary vein connections (PAPVC) are rare congenital abnormalities in which one
or more pulmonary veins drain into the right atrium. This pathological condition may present in various ways, such
as chest…
