Article Abstract
Background: To investigate the cumulative health burden and complex challenges to adjustment following road traffic injuries (RTIs), this study examined multiple environmental, personal, and health-related factors and outcomes over 12 months in a comprehensive and holistic way, comparing these outcomes between injured and non-injured controls.
Methods: A longitudinal controlled cohort study was conducted with two groups: adults with mild to moderate RTIs and non-injured controls. Assessments occurred at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-injury. The study involved 120 RTI participants and 112 controls. Data on physiological, psychological, cognitive, and social factors were collected and analyzed using the World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) framework. The ICF Components-Impairments in Body Functions and Structures, Limitations in Activity, Restrictions to Participation, Environmental and Personal Contextual Factors-were used to link and categorize data and compare outcomes, allowing comprehensive evaluation of RTI-related burden and adjustment challenges.
Results: The RTI group exhibited significantly worse outcomes across all measured ICF Components, including higher pain, fatigue, psychological distress, and cognitive impairment. Despite some improvements over time, the RTI group continued to experience elevated symptoms, functional limitations, and restricted participation compared to controls at 12 months.
Conclusions: RTIs lead to sustained, multidimensional challenges to adjustment, emphasizing the need for early, comprehensive, and ongoing interventions for at least 1-year post-injury. These findings highlight the importance of evaluating multiple biopsychosocial factors and adopting a holistic framework to fully understand recovery patterns. Addressing these factors simultaneously across multiple systems is essential to improve recovery outcomes.

Background: Little is known about how ambulatory care sensitive condition (ACSC)-related readmissions can be reduced in acute care settings.
Objective: This study examined the association between transitional care for hospitalised older patients with ACSC and ACSC-related readmissions.
Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study included patients aged 65 years and older admitted with ACSC as the primary diagnosis from 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2023, using linked data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination and the medical functions of the hospital beds database.

Background: Limited data are available on relative survival (RS) among cancer survivors enrolled in private cancer insurance in Japan. Additionally, the incidence of second primary cancers or recurrences, as applicable, after a certain period remains unclear.
Methods: We analyzed 8,846 cancer survivors, including carcinoma in situ, aged 15-79 years, enrolled in private cancer insurance between April 2005 and September 2021, and diagnosed before April 2022.
Clinical Impact of Continuation Versus Cessation of Antiviral Therapy in Chronic Hepatitis B: A Modelling Study With Implications for Hepatitis B Cure.

Discontinuing antivirals in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) 'e' antigen negative infection can enhance HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) loss but risks complications. We modelled the clinical impact of discontinuing antivirals in chronic HBV. We developed a Markov state model with Monte Carlo simulation of chronic HBV to compare continuation of antiviral therapy with 3 strategies of cessation and reinitiation for: (1) virologic relapse, (2) clinical relapse, or (3) hepatitis flare.

The genomes of 43 distinct lactococcal strains were reconstructed by a combination of long- and short-read sequencing, resolving the plasmid complement and methylome of these strains. The genomes comprised 43 chromosomes of approximately 2.5 Mb each and 269 plasmids ranging from 2 to 211 kb (at an average occurrence of 6 per strain).

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global health challenge, with the World Health Organization (WHO) targeting its elimination by 2030. Jordan lacks sufficient data on HBV epidemiology, including prevalence, incidence and clearance. This study addresses these gaps through a retrospective analysis of HBV testing data from 40,268 individuals collected at Biolab Diagnostic Laboratories (2010-2024).
