; a healthy lifestyle app for new US firefighters: usability and pilot study protocol.

In the United States (US), new firefighters' fitness and health behaviors deteriorate rapidly after fire academy graduation. Over the long-term, this increases their risks for chronic diseases. This study protocol describes the proposed usability testing and pilot study of a newly designed and developed healthy lifestyle smartphone app, "Surviving & Thriving", tailored towards young US firefighters.

Impact of unsolicited reporting notifications on providers' prescribing behavior: An experimental study on Maryland PDMP data.

Background: Unsolicited Reporting Notifications(URNs) have been a component of Maryland's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) since 2016. We evaluated the effect of URNs on providers' prescription behaviors.

Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study of providers who were issued at least one URN from January 2018 to April 2021.

Coffee Consumption and the Risk of Metabolic Syndrome in the 'Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra' Project.

(1) Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) affects over a third of the United States population, and has similar prevalence in Europe. Dietary approaches to prevention are important. Coffee consumption has been inversely associated with mortality and chronic disease; however, its relation to the risk of MetS is unclear.

Unsolicited reporting notifications (URNs) through Maryland's prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP): Characteristics of providers.

Objectives: Unsolicited reporting is the activity of analyzing Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) data and then sending unsolicited reporting notifications (URNs) to prescribers to notify them of their outlier prescribing behavior. We aimed to describe information about prescribers who were issued URNs.

Methods: A retrospective study of Maryland's PDMP data from Jan.

Risk of Developing Metabolic Syndrome Is Affected by Length of Daily Siesta: Results from a Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Siesta has been associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease but the mechanism remains unclear. New studies into the relationship between siesta and metabolic syndrome have identified siesta length as a crucial differential, suggesting that siesta less than 40 min is associated with decreased risk of metabolic syndrome, while longer siesta is associated with increased risk. We aimed to investigate the effect of siesta duration on development of metabolic syndrome in a Mediterranean population using a prospective cohort study design.
