Aim: The role of infant nutrition in rapid weight gain (RWG) is not well understood. This study investigated associations between milk cereal drinks, early RWG, and later body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR).
Methods: In total, 1333 children, from three communities in Western Sweden constituted the combined IDEFICS-I.
Endometriosis is a debilitating and painful gynecological inflammatory disease affecting up to 15% of women and transgender men. Current treatments are ineffective for a substantial proportion of patients, underscoring the need for additional therapies with long-term benefits. Nociceptors release neuropeptides, such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which are known to shape immunity through neuroimmune communication.

Methods: We used a type 3 hybrid effectiveness-implementation stepped-wedge design and the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance (RE-AIM) planning and evaluation framework. We conducted clinician training, monthly reach tracking with feedback to site clinical leads, patient and clinician surveys, and visit audio-recordings.
Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer patients experience a heightened risk of cardiometabolic diseases, exacerbated by adjuvant therapies that alter inflammatory and metabolic health markers.
- A study measured inflammatory cytokines and metabolic health parameters in 51 postmenopausal early breast cancer patients over two years, revealing significant increases in cytokines immediately after chemotherapy.
- Although cytokine levels returned to near baseline within six months, patients continued to show worsened lipid profiles and insulin resistance for up to a year post-treatment.
Article Synopsis
- Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can negatively affect quality of life, prompting the need for personalized treatment options and better communication tools for shared decision-making among patients and healthcare providers.* -
- A user-centered approach was used to develop two conversation aids—one text-based and one picture-enhanced—through stakeholder focus groups and user-testing interviews, with efforts made to translate them into Spanish simultaneously.* -
- Initial feedback from focus groups and user-testing showed the conversation aids were well-received, but ongoing implementation revealed the need for significant updates to reflect new treatment information and accommodate stakeholder suggestions.*
