Observational Study
The correlation between driving risk and visual attention when using smartphones while driving in novice drivers.
Although many countries restrict the use of smartphones while driving, smartphones are utilized in various ways as there are limits to enforcement. Accordingly, efforts are made to determine the risks of novice drivers with low safety awareness and higher risk. This study observed and analyzed changes in visual attention and driving risks according to the way smartphones are used while driving and the scientific relationship between the 2 variables. ⋯ When novice drivers use smartphones while driving compared to when they do not use smartphones, changes in visual attention characteristics in the number and duration of eye blinks, eye fixations, and saccades increased the risk of accidents due to deceleration and lane departure. In particular, the risk increased the most when sending messages, and the risk of accidents continued although the increased burden due to smartphone use was compensated for by slowing down the speed. We hope that the findings of this study will be actively used in efforts to change novice drivers' traffic safety attitudes while driving.

This study aimed to assess the impact of the timing of low-dose hydrocortisone adjuvant therapy initiation on clinical outcomes in patients with septic shock by a systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ Administering low doses of HC early on can decrease the risk of death in septic shock patients in the short-term mortality. There were no substantial disparities observed in the rate of CRRT, the rate of reversal of shock, and the duration of stay in the ICU. Additional extensive RCTs are required to validate this conclusion.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of the effects on coagulation function and safety of bivalirudin and heparin in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: A randomized trial.
To analyze the effects on coagulation function and safety of bivalirudin and heparin in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and provide clinical evidence for their application. ⋯ Bivalirudin has a slightly superior impact on coagulation function and safety profile in patients undergoing PCI compared to heparin, and the preventive effect of both on postoperative cardiovascular events is similar.

Repeated and prolonged exposure to pain can impair neurodevelopmental, behavioral, and cognitive outcomes in newborns. Effective pain management of newborns is essential, but there is no comprehensive analysis of the status of neonatal pain non-pharmacologic management research. Original publications related to the non-pharmacological management of neonatal pain were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) between 1989 and 2024. ⋯ Analysis of highly cited papers showed that the most referenced articles were published in the Clinical Journal of Pain. Researchers' interest in neonatal procedural pain has increased significantly over the past 30 years. This article can serve as a theoretical reference for future research on mild to moderate pain in neonates and infants, and it can provide ideas for exploring novel and secure pain management strategies.

To comprehensively review cardiorenal syndrome (CRS)-related research, this study analyzes its whole landscape and future trends from a bibliometric perspective. Using "cardiorenal syndrome" as the key word, a representative dataset of CRS was constructed in the Web of Science Core Collection (Science Citation Index Expanded) database up to November 2023. VOSviewer (version 1.6.18) and R-Studio (version 1.4) were used to visualize CRS-related author and national collaboration networks, hotspot distribution clustering and historical citation networks. ⋯ Combined with keyword co-occurrence, theme evolution, and strategic distribution analysis, it was found that centering on the mechanism of CRS (cardiovascular lesions, venous congestion, and fibrosis), prognosis (transplantation, dialysis, hospitalization, mortality) and cardiac function management (b-type natriuretic peptide, diastolic dysfunction, left ventricular hypertrophy) is a possible research direction for a long time to come. Although CRS has a relatively short history, it has received a lot of attention and is currently enjoying a high level of overall acceptance. In conclusion, this study explores the major research areas, frontiers and trends in CRS, which are important for future research.
