BC knowledge was assessed using a translated version of the Breast Cancer Awareness Measure. Statistical analyses included univariate and bivariate tests, followed by a multivariate ordinal logistic regression to adjust for potential confounders.Results: Only 39.9% of participants demonstrated proficient comprehension of BC etiology. Knowledge correlated significantly with age, marital status, and expertise (p < 0.05). Awareness was highest among single pharmacy students; notably, 64.8% were single pharmacy students, potentially inflating overall scores. A misconception was identified: 66.1% believed a diagnosis in one breast reduces risk in the other. Age 41-50 (OR = 5.23) and holding a diploma (OR = 0.09) were significant predictors of knowledge compared to postgraduates, while marital status was not significant in the model.Conclusions: Educational backgrounds significantly influence breast cancer awareness among Jordanian women. There is an urgent need for targeted, community-based training programs to address persistent clinical misconceptions and knowledge gaps, specifically focusing on married women and individuals working or studying in non-medical fields, to improve overall public health standards nationwide.","PeriodicalId":12568,"journal":{"name":"Future Science OA","volume":"12 1","pages":"2626432"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12893684/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146141958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ketamine became available the following day through the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). This study evaluates the transition to ketamine as a primary anesthetic and its effects on pain control, hemodynamics, respiration, and opioid use.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 100 hand and finger amputation surgeries. Patients initially received fentanyl intraoperatively and opioids postoperatively. Ketamine was subsequently introduced as the primary anesthetic. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), while respiratory and hemodynamic parameters were monitored perioperatively.Results: Ketamine was associated with significantly lower VAS scores (3.2 vs 7.8; p < 0.001), no respiratory complications (0 vs 18 cases), stable mean arterial pressure in 94% of patients, and reduced postoperative opioid use (5% vs 65%).Conclusion: Ketamine is a safe, effective, opioid-sparing anesthetic and should be prioritized in conflict and resource-limited trauma settings.","PeriodicalId":12568,"journal":{"name":"Future Science OA","volume":"12 1","pages":"2622334"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12885423/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146112829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These concerns adversely affect psychological health and are shaped by sociocultural pressures and digital media exposure.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 418 undergraduate university students in Northern Jordan. Participants completed the Body Shape Questionnaire-8D (BSQ-8D) to assess BSC. Demographic, behavioral, and media use variables were analyzed to identify correlations.Results: Among 418 respondents (96% aged 17-24; 53% female), 73% reported no BSC. Higher levels of BSC were significantly associated with increased body mass index (BMI) (p < 0.001). Compared to normal-weight peers, overweight students had higher odds of reporting mild [adjusted odds ratio (AOR: 3.7)]and moderate to marked (AOR: 2.56) BSC. Parental education and social media use were also significant factors. Students who did not use Snapchat (AOR = 2.05), did not use TikTok (AOR = 2.15), and cigarette smokers (AOR = 2.75) had higher odds of reporting elevated BSC levels.Conclusions: BSC among Jordanian university students is shaped by multiple psychosocial and behavioral factors, with BMI emerging as the strongest predictor. Findings underscore the need for culturally informed strategies addressing weight stigma, smoking, parental influences, and media engagement. Integrating BSC screening into routine healthcare may support early detection of at-risk groups.","PeriodicalId":12568,"journal":{"name":"Future Science OA","volume":"12 1","pages":"2601632"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12710888/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145741976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The condition itself is not a diagnosis but a clinical sign with many underlying causes, ranging from infections and chromosomal abnormalities to rare maternal conditions such as mirror syndrome.Case presentation: This review examines three cases of fetal hydrops, highlighting common etiologies, such as infections and chromosomal disorders, and more unusual causes like maternal complications.Diagnostic approach: The current approach to diagnosing hydrops fetalis relies primarily on ultrasound imaging and Doppler studies to identify abnormal fluid accumulation and pathophysiology.Future perspective: However, advances in genomic testing are rapidly transforming the diagnostic pathway. With increasing accuracy, speed and accessibility of genetic testing, it is likely that these tools will be integrated earlier in the diagnostic process, potentially improving prognostic assessments and treatment outcomes.Conclusion: The importance of early and accurate identification of the cause is essential to inform clinical management, improve fetal survival rates and support parental decision-making.","PeriodicalId":12568,"journal":{"name":"Future Science OA","volume":"12 1","pages":"2681420"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13240947/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148149335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ROC curve analysis revealed that SPRR2D demonstrated significant diagnostic efficacy across cancers. Cox regression analysis revealed that the expression of SPRR2D was associated with the survival time of patients with various tumors. Moreover, the expression of SPRR2D is closely related to tumor immune infiltration.
