Rare clinical complications following scorpion envenomation worldwide: A systematic review.

Scorpion envenomation is an important public health problem in many tropical and subtropical regions and may result in rare but life-threatening grade III complications involving multiple organ systems. This systematic review synthesizes published articles from 2000 to 2025 that describe uncommon, severe clinical manifestations following scorpion stings. A total of 71 rare clinical complications were identified, encompassing cardiovascular, neurological, respiratory, renal, hematological, ocular, dermatological, and other systemic manifestations. Cardiovascular complications were the most frequently reported, whereas neurological complications exhibited the greatest clinical diversity. Mesobuthus tamulus and Hemiscorpius lepturus were most commonly associated with severe complications, and children younger than 10 years appeared to be at increased risk of serious neurological involvement. These findings highlight the remarkable clinical heterogeneity of grade III scorpion envenomation and emphasize the importance of early recognition, species-specific clinical awareness, and timely management to reduce severe outcomes in endemic regions.

Multi-omic biomarkers in cardiovascular disease: Discovery to clinical translation.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, necessitating improved risk stratification and early detection strategies. Multiomics approaches that integrate genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics offer unprecedented opportunities for biomarker discovery and precision medicine in cardiovascular care. This narrative review examines the current landscape of multiomics biomarkers for CVD, tracing their evolution from discovery to clinical translation. We synthesize evidence from recent studies evaluating the clinical utility of integrated omics approaches across diverse cardiovascular conditions, including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. High-throughput proteomics has identified novel protein signatures that enhance cardiovascular risk prediction beyond traditional risk factors. Metabolomics has revealed pathway-specific biomarkers, including trimethylamine N-oxide and lipid species, associated with atherogenesis. Polygenic risk scores derived from genomic data demonstrate incremental value when combined with clinical risk scores. Multiomics biomarkers represent a transformative approach to cardiovascular risk assessment and disease management.

Indigenous and local knowledge inclusion in forest fauna research: A systematic review in the tropics.

Indigenous and Local Knowledge (ILK) is an expression of biocultural diversity and is vital for inclusive and sustainable forest management and epistemic justice. We examine how researchers studying tropical forest fauna engage with ILK and the Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) who are holders of this knowledge. We conducted a systematic review of 62 articles that focus on tropical forest fauna and ILK. We used a category-based quantitative and qualitative content analysis on the types of forest fauna studied and how research engages with, defines and represents ILK. We also evaluated the varied forms of inclusion of IPLC in the research. We find that less than half of the reviewed studies (25) explicitly define ILK, and only four studies reported including IPLC in the decision-making processes. Our findings reveal that science has not fully acknowledged and understood the depth of ILK and we suggest ways to address this in future research.

Non-destructive prediction of lead content in oilseed rape leaves by fluorescence hyperspectral technology based on neural network.

Based on fluorescence hyperspectral imaging (FHSI), this study targeted rapid, non-destructive quantification of lead (Pb) content in oilseed rape leaves treated with varying silicon (Si) concentrations, acquiring fluorescence spectra over the 484.43-1001.61 nm wavelength range. To optimize spectral data quality, preprocessing methods (Savitzky-Golay smoothing, first derivative, detrending) were comprehensively compared. Characteristic wavelengths were then selected via interval variable iterative shrinkage, which effectively compressed data dimensionality and reduced computational load. A hybrid SE-CL1DA model, fusing a 1D convolutional neural network, a long short-term memory network and SE attention mechanism was constructed, with Bayesian optimization tuning hyperparameters to boost stability. The BO-SE-CL1DA outperformed both traditional machine learning and insufficiently optimized deep learning model (Rp2=0.9609, RMSE = 0.0377 mg/kg, RPD = 5.1736), thus enabling accurate Pb estimation, supporting Si-regulated heavy metal stress management and facilitating agricultural contamination monitoring.

Pilot Distractions and Interruptions in Airlines: Ranking of Sources by Analytic Hierarchy Process.

ObjectiveThis work establishes a methodological framework for sources of pilot distraction and interruptions in a structured model that can be used as a tool for cockpit design/procedure assessment.BackgroundPilots must complete complex tasks, and distractions can impair performance and lead to errors that can cause aircraft accidents. Although various cockpit distractors are examined individually, there is no integrated approach.MethodDistraction and interruption sources were identified through a literature review and confirmed/extended by interviews with airline pilots. Associated weights were determined through pairwise comparisons, yielding a hierarchical model using the Analytic Hierarchy Process.Results26 sources of pilot distraction and interruptions were quantified and categorized into four categories: communication, head-down time, responding to abnormal conditions & unexpected situations, and searching for traffic.ConclusionA taxonomic structure for assessment is achieved with the top 5 sources identified as communications, technical interruptions, experience in type, environmental factors, operational irregularities, and airspace high terrain, accounting for 63.07%.ApplicationThe structured system is a flexible assessment scale that provides a taxonomic framework for airline risk management, supports future research, and cockpit design efforts.

Arthroscopic Correction of Pincer-Type FAI in the Presence of Acetabular Retroversion Results in Excellent Patient-Reported Outcomes With Low Risk of Reoperation or Conversion to Arthroplasty at Minimum 5 Years.

BACKGROUND: Acetabular retroversion is a distinct morphologic variation that may result in pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The role of arthroscopic management within this cohort is not fully understood. PURPOSE: To assess patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and survivorship at 5-year follow-up in a series of cases undergoing arthroscopic correction of pincer-type FAI with acetabular retroversion. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: A single-center, prospective hip preservation registry was reviewed for all cases undergoing primary hip arthroscopy for symptomatic FAI between January 2014 and July 2020, with documented radiographic assessment of acetabular retroversion (ie, presence or absence of crossover sign, ischial spine sign, and/or posterior wall sign on a standing, standardized anteroposterior radiograph). Exclusion criteria were T&#xf6;nnis grade >1, concomitant pathologies (protrusio, Perthes disease, avascular necrosis), excessive pelvic rotation or tilt on radiographs, and/or no crossover sign. Cases were assigned to 1 of 2 groups: moderate-global retroversion group (study group: crossover sign plus either or both ischial spine sign and posterior wall sign) or control group (crossover sign only). Case-control (1:1) fuzzy matching was performed based on age (&#xb1;2 years), sex, and T&#xf6;nnis grade (exact). Clinical outcome evaluation included assessment of PROMs (modified Harris Hip Score [mHHS], 36-item Short Form [SF36], University of California-Los Angeles Activity Scale [UCLA], Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index [WOMAC]), achievement of Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), satisfaction, rates of revision arthroscopy, and arthroplasty-free survivorship, both preoperatively and 5 years postoperatively. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v29. RESULTS: A total of 201 cases (120 global, 81 moderate) in the moderate-global retroversion group were matched with 201 control cases. Mean age was 30.6 &#xb1; 10.2 years; the sample was 90% male. The rate of revision arthroscopy was similar: n = 11 (6%) in both groups (P = .974). No conversion to periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) occurred in either group. Arthroplasty-free survivorship was 98.2% (retroversion group) and 98.8% (control group) (&#x3c7;2 = 0.189; df = 1; P = .664). Significant improvements in PROMs from baseline were noted (P < .001 for all, in both groups). In total, 81% (moderate-global retroversion group) and 73% (control group) were satisfied at 5 years (P = .103). No significant difference was seen in PASS achievement rates for any of the PROMs between groups: mHHS, 62.1% versus 65.9% (P = .498); UCLA, 60.0% versus 52.2% (P = .192); SF36, 59.8% versus 64.7% (P = .458); WOMAC, 63.5% versus 67.3% (P = .553), for moderate-global retroversion and control groups, respectively. CONCLUSION: Hip arthroscopy for moderate and global acetabular retroversion resulted in significant improvement in clinical outcomes, with high satisfaction and arthroplasty-free survivorship at 5 years, consistent with a case-control matched group without acetabular retroversion (focal retroversion, pincer FAI). Arthroscopy alone, without anteverting PAO, was an effective surgical management approach for symptomatic FAI in the presence of acetabular retroversion.

Exploring Implementation of Cantonese Radio Broadcasting as a Mental Health Promotion Initiative for Linguistically Isolated Immigrants.

Digital-first public health efforts often miss linguistically isolated immigrant communities because of structural barriers and stigma. Ethnic legacy media can reach these groups, but keeping programs funded and operational over the long term is frequently difficult. This Practice Note examines a Cantonese-language radio health program in "Los Angeles County" that ran 128 live broadcasts across a full 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle. Instead of a top-down clinical model, the show endured by acting as an informal community navigation hub. We examine two recurring administrative frictions: anonymous off-air calls about urgent economic needs (e.g., hotel job referrals) and on-air audience corrections of mispronounced medical terms. We argue these interactions should be seen not as disruptions but as measurable indicators of structural trust that sustain programs. We offer practical guidance for recruiting undergraduates to expand reach via ethnic print newspapers, using peer-recovery milestones to amplify impact. The note concludes with a pragmatic blueprint for health educators to manage professional boundaries, preserve commercial-clinical separation, and uphold cultural safety in isolated communities.

A review on the environmental distribution, toxic effects, bioaccumulation characteristics and risk assessment of short-chain chlorinated paraffins.

Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are synthetic chemicals, widely used as flame retardants and plasticizers. As emerging contaminants, short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) have attracted tremendous attention due to their persistence, chronic toxicity, long-range transport potential and bioaccumulation potential. This review synthesizes global data on SCCPs' environmental occurrence, toxicological impacts, and bioaccumulation characteristics. SCCPs are ubiquitously detected in various environmental media, including water, sediment, air, soil, and biota. Ecotoxicological studies reveal that SCCPs have lethality, carcinogenicity, growth and developmental toxicities, organs toxicities and endocrine-disrupting effects across species, which pose risks to ecological systems and human health. In addition, the bioaccumulation effects of SCCPs in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems were analyzed, and proposed the key factors affecting the bioaccumulation of SCCPs. Finally, the risk assessment of SCCPs contamination in the surface water and the soil was carried out, and all soil and most water bodies were found to be low risk. The present study could provide scientific basis and reference for environmental management of CPs products.

The Factors That Contribute to Dysfunctional Behavior in Active Military Personnel: An Umbrella Review.

Dysfunctional behavior in active military personnel is a complex and challenging issue for military forces worldwide. Effective management of this issue requires a comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to dysfunctional behavior in military populations. The current study presents an umbrella review that synthesized and analyzed the existing literature on contributory factors to dysfunctional behavior in active military personnel using a systems thinking-based framework. Eleven systematic reviews were identified as eligible for inclusion in the umbrella review. The synthesis identified 14 contributory factors to the following types of dysfunctional behavior: suicidal behavior, substance misuse, domestic violence perpetration, and destructive leadership. The analysis indicated that existing literature focuses on contributory factors relating to the military personnel themselves and not influences in the broader military system or wider society. Additionally, few studies have sought to understand how factors interact to create dysfunctional behavior. Future research would benefit from the use of systems thinking-based frameworks and methods to investigate the factors, across the broader military system and society, that contribute to dysfunctional behavior in active military personnel.

Machine learning-ready genomic biomarkers: ATF3 polymorphisms predict postoperative analgesic demand through AI-compatible phenotyping.

PURPOSE: To determine whether ATF3 polymorphisms can serve as genetic biomarkers for machine learning-based precision analgesia by establishing a genotype-phenotype association suitable for predictive modeling of postoperative opioid requirements. METHODS: In a prospective cohort of 167 adults undergoing abdominal surgery, ATF3 SNPs rs3122721 and rs3125293 were genotyped. A structured dataset architecture was developed to represent genetic profiles as input features for supervised learning models, enabling translational analysis of genotype&#x2011;dependent opioid consumption over 72&#xa0;h. RESULTS: Patients with homozygous genotypes of the ATF3 SNPs had significantly higher opioid requirements than non&#x2011;carriers, despite reporting similar subjective pain scores. This consistent genotype&#x2011;dependent pattern provided a clinically relevant phenotype suitable for integration into predictive algorithms. CONCLUSION: ATF3 genotyping offers a promising biomarker for computationally informed precision analgesia. By linking genomic variability to clinically meaningful outcomes within a structured clinical and genomic framework, this approach supports the future development of risk-stratified clinical decision-support systems to optimize postoperative pain management.Trial registration ChiCTR1900021991, registered 30 April 2019.

Morbidity and mortality from local anesthetics: localized and systemic toxicity.

PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Local anesthetics remain vital to modern medicine, yet their narrow therapeutic window continues to result in complications. This review synthesizes recent literature to define the current landscape of local anesthetic-associated adverse events. RECENT FINDINGS: Perioperative mortality attributable to local anesthetics persists despite sustained safety initiatives and professional society recommendations. Pharmacovigilance and case data identify lidocaine (oropharyngeal, topical, and via local infiltration) as the predominant contributor to adverse outcomes, including death. Local anesthetic systemic toxicity remains an issue, with a recent shift in epidemiology: an increasing proportion of toxic events originates from surgeon- and proceduralist-administered analgesia. Anesthesiologist-controlled methods also cause toxicity via catheter-based delivery and nerve blocks in highly vascular regions. Localized toxicity in the form of high neuraxial contributes to morbidity, with recent reviews reinforcing known risk factors; whereas localized neurotoxicity appears less troublesome when managed appropriately. SUMMARY: The cumulative evidence identifies shifts in the patterns of systemic and localized toxicities. Bupivacaine-based peripheral nerve blocks no longer represent the principal cause of complications because of the advent of ultrasound guidance and lipid emulsion therapy. In contrast, high neuraxial techniques persist as a cause of morbidity, accompanied by intravenous/oropharyngeal lidocaine, proceduralist-administered local infiltration analgesia, and catheter-based delivery.

Sitosterolemia: evolving strategies for earlier diagnosis.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Sitosterolemia is a rare autosomal recessive lipid disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in ABCG5 or ABCG8 , resulting in excessive intestinal absorption and impaired biliary excretion of plant sterols. Although historically considered exceptionally rare, recent genetic studies suggest the disorder is substantially underdiagnosed, with marked phenotypic heterogeneity ranging from xanthomas and premature atherosclerosis to hematologic abnormalities, and frequently mimics familial hypercholesterolemia. This review summarizes recent advances in the clinical, biological, and genetic diagnosis of sitosterolemia, with a focus on strategies that may facilitate earlier detection. RECENT FINDINGS: Phytosterol quantification, particularly sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol, remains indispensable for accurate diagnosis. Hematologic abnormalities, including hemolytic anemia, stomatocytosis, and macrothrombocytopenia, are increasingly recognized as valuable diagnostic clues complementing the biochemical approach. Expanded variant catalogs for ABCG5/ABCG8 and genome-wide association studies have revealed potentially polygenic contributions to phytosterol metabolism extending beyond these two genes. However, no specific guidelines have yet been established for cascade screening. SUMMARY: Earlier diagnosis requires integration of clinical, biochemical, hematologic, and genetic data. Plasma phytosterol measurement remains the diagnostic cornerstone. Improved disease awareness, broader access to sterol testing, and expanded genetic screening may reduce diagnostic delays and enable timely management, including ezetimibe and dietary phytosterol restriction.

Watershed-scale risk assessment of cadmium contamination in Chinese cropland soils: Dual pathways of irrigation input and flood-driven transport.

Irrigation and flood events serve as critical pathways for the transport of cadmium (Cd) from industrial sources into cropland soils at the watershed scale, constituting a major driver of widespread Cd contamination in China's cropland soil. This study evaluated the risk of Cd contamination in cropland soils across China's nine major river basins at the watershed scale, focusing on the contributions of irrigation and flood events, and conducted a sensitivity analysis of key risk factors. The assessment was conducted within a framework that considered factors including hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. The results revealed that numerous watersheds in southeastern China are exposed to dual pressures of Cd contamination risks in cropland soils, driven by both irrigation practices and flood events. Watersheds categorized as High-High, High-Moderate, or Moderate-High risk, reflecting combined Cd contamination risks from irrigation and flood, are vital to China's grain production, contributing 67.1 % of the national cropland area and 66.4 % of the grain yield. The study suggests localized strategies for managing cropland soils Cd contamination risks from irrigation and flood at the watershed scale in China, alongside strengthened cross-regional collaboration in southeastern China.

A multicenter randomized phase II/III trial of salvage treatment for refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma using tirabrutinib: JCOG2314 (ReSTART).

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an aggressive malignancy. Patients refractory to high-dose methotrexate-based induction therapy have an extremely poor prognosis. Although whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) is the standard salvage treatment and provides potent tumor control, early functional deterioration and late neurocognitive toxicity remain major concerns. A phase I/II trial on relapsed or refractory PCNSL demonstrated favorable efficacy and tolerability of tirabrutinib, a second-generation selective Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Tirabrutinib's oral administration has enabled outpatient management. However, its clinical value for induction-refractory PCNSL remains uncertain. We designed a multicenter, randomized phase II/III trial (JCOG2314) to assess the non-inferiority of tirabrutinib to WBRT in overall survival and its potential to reduce functional deterioration and cognitive impairment. A total of 94 patients from 49 institutions will be enrolled over 4 years. The trial has been registered in the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (study number: jRCT1031250645).

The Neurological Impact of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery: A Systematic Review of Post-Operative Neuropathic and Non-Neuropathic Complications.

Metabolic and bariatric surgery achieves durable weight loss and meaningful improvement in obesity-related comorbidities yet carries a risk of neurological complications that remains under-recognised in routine clinical practice. This systematic review, registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024591611) and conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines, searched MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, CINAHL and Cochrane databases through September 2023 to evaluate the incidence, spectrum, timing, pathophysiology and management of post-operative neurological complications. Twelve studies comprising over 5000 patients were included. Reported incidence ranged from 1.4% to 16%, with peripheral neuropathy the most frequent manifestation. Mononeuropathies, particularly carpal tunnel syndrome, were prominent in several cohorts, while central complications including Wernicke encephalopathy occurred less commonly but with considerably greater severity. Thiamine deficiency was the predominant aetiological factor. Onset varied from days to several years postoperatively, with early presentations typically compression-related and later ones nutritionally mediated. Outcomes were generally favourable with early intervention, though severe or delayed cases were associated with persistent neurological deficits and occasional mortality. Neurological complications after bariatric surgery are heterogeneous and largely preventable, and structured post-operative follow-up with consistent adherence to nutritional supplementation remains central to reducing long-term harm.

Assessment of the Potential of Different Anthropometric Indices in Predicting the Risk of Diabetes and Associated Co-morbidities.

Diabetes, a chronic disorder, is showing a rapidly increasing trend globally. India holds the second position in the global diabetes epidemic. The present investigation is an assessment of different anthropometric measurements and their association with type 2 diabetes to determine their diagnostic potential for diabetes as well as its co-morbidities. In this cross-sectional study, we have measured anthropometric parameters and blood biomarkers in subjects with diabetes. We have presented the comparisons of cost- and time-effective anthropometric variable with costly and time-dependent biochemical variables in control and diabetic groups (n = 233/group). Correlations between anthropometric variables and biochemical measurements, as well as the diagnostic utility of anthropometric variables for diabetes, were evaluated. The diagnostic utility of anthropometric variables for diabetes was assessed through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Neck circumference, sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD), skinfold thickness, and body roundness index (BRI) displayed high specificity and diagnostic utility for diabetes, emphasizing their potential in predicting diabetes and the further development of metabolic syndrome. The study highlights the importance of cost- and time-effective anthropometric assessments in diabetes risk evaluation and calls for further research to elucidate this intricate relationship and develop personalized management strategies.
