Multiple Sclerosis Relapse Treatment During Pregnancy and Offspring Functional and Structural Neurodevelopment: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Neurology
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: High-dose methylprednisolone (MP) is the global standard for treating pregnancy-associated relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS). Given that glucocorticoids cross the placenta and may interfere with fetal brain development, c...

Retinal microvascular differences between multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder: a cross-sectional study with diagnostic modeling.

Journal of neurology
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Retinal alterations in multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) remain unclear, especially the specific patterns and extent of microvascular change. This study aimed to compare these altera...

Machine learning-based stratification of mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease: a multicenter cross-sectional analysis.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment is a prominent non-motor manifestation of Parkinson's disease (PD) and is associated with reduced quality of life, increased mortality, and higher healthcare utilization. We aimed to develop and externally validate a ...

Construction and validation of a cross-sectional risk classification model for hypoproteinemia in single-center maintenance hemodialysis patient.

Scientific reports
Hypoproteinemia is a common complication across patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Moreover, it is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular events, infection risk, and mortality. This study aimed to construct a classification...

Influencing factors for childbirth readiness among pregnant women based on the reciprocal determinism theory and backpropagation neural network: a cross-sectional study in China.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Childbirth readiness is essential for improving maternal health outcomes and reducing mortality, yet preparedness remains low among pregnant women globally. This study aims to identify key factors influencing childbirth readiness among Ch...

Representation of Medical Concepts in Emojis Using Medical Subject Headings to Identify Gaps and Opportunities: Cross-Sectional Analysis.

JMIR formative research
BACKGROUND: Emoji are a universal visual language widely used in digital communication; yet, their representation of medical concepts remains limited. The introduction of medical emojis, such as the anatomical heart and lungs, highlights their potent...

Research literacy and its predictors among university students and graduates identified by machine learning and spatial analysis.

Scientific reports
The landscape of academic publishing has evolved dramatically, leading to a surge in publications and journals. The 'publish or perish' culture has resulted in undesirable practices, such as many researchers publishing in predatory journals due to in...
