The Journal of Clinical and Health Research (JK-RISK), Volume 5 Issue 2, presents a diverse collection of scientific articles reflecting the dynamic advancement of medical and health sciences in the era of digitalization. This edition highlights the progress of diagnostic supporting examinations that enhance both accuracy and efficiency in disease diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of technological integration in modern clinical practice.

This issue features original research articles and systematic reviews covering current and relevant topics, including a comparison of vitrectomy techniques for idiopathic epiretinal membrane, antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the diagnostic accuracy of point-of-care testing in pediatric urinary tract infections. In addition, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and the association between elevated uric acid levels and the severity of coronary artery stenosis are discussed comprehensively.

The edition also includes insightful case reports, such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) with suspected Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA), and a case of ventricular tachycardia triggered by hypothyroidism. Furthermore, a study examining the relationship between nocturia and sleep quality among medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic provides valuable insight into the broader aspects of health and well-being among future healthcare professionals.

Through the contributions of researchers and clinicians, JK-RISK Volume 5 Issue 2 is expected to serve as a valuable scientific reference in advancing medical knowledge, improving healthcare quality, and strengthening evidence-based clinical practice.
