In preventive health services, a quasi-experimental analysis from India examines how health insurance shifts cardiometabolic risk through financial access to screening and treatment . Effect estimates appear modest and heterogeneous, with several 95% CIs ov...

In India, quasi-experimental analyses of health insurance expansion and cardiometabolic risk examined blood pressure, glycemia, and adiposity. Coverage improved financial protection but showed limited and heterogeneous shifts in risk-factor levels over shor...

Elderly refugees with multimorbidity present high primary care demand, medication continuity challenges, and language barriers. Evidence from Ukrainian arrivals in Israel highlights heavy use of primary and urgent services, frequent chronic disease follow-u...

Elderly refugee health service utilization was examined using a retrospective cohort within an integrated Israeli health system. Refugee status functioned as the exposure, and utilization metrics spanned primary care, specialty, emergency, and inpatient dom...

Neonatal cleft lip surgery poses unique airway challenges. A customized protective palatal obturator designed for intubation reportedly reduced palatal contact and facilitated laryngoscopy compared with standard practice in a randomized comparison, with sig...

Cleft surgery in newborns complicates airway access. A customized protective palatal obturator was evaluated against standard practice during oral intubation in a randomized controlled trial, quantifying first-pass success, time to intubation, and mucosal i...

Streptococcus salivarius OSTIA SALI-10, a candidate oral probiotic, underwent a comprehensive safety evaluation integrating genomic, in vitro, and toxicology approaches. Investigators reported a favorable safety profile under intended conditions of use, wit...
