Age-Related Changes in Serum -Glycome in Men and Women-Clusters Associated with Comorbidity.

(1) Aim: To describe, in a general adult population, the serum glycome in relation to age in men and women, and investigate the association of glycome patterns with age-related comorbidity; (2) Methods: The serum glycome was studied by hydrophilic interaction chromatography with ultra-performance liquid chromatography in 1516 randomly selected adults (55.3% women; age range 18-91 years). Covariates included lifestyle factors, metabolic disorders, inflammatory markers, and an index of comorbidity.

Are corticosteroids safe in adolescent and adult patients with infectious mononucleosis? A retrospective cohort study.

Background And Aim: The use of systemic corticosteroids during Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced infectious mononucleosis is a controversial but widespread practice. We aimed to investigate the frequency of complications in adolescents and adults with infectious mononucleosis in relation to the use of corticosteroids.

Methods: We reviewed the clinical records of 396 patients admitted to the hospital with infectious mononucleosis (52.

Frank's Sign and Cardiovascular Risk: An Observational Descriptive Study.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to analyze the relationship between the diagonal earlobe crease and the main indices of cardiovascular risk, considering the crease's anatomical variations.

Methods: The study group consisted of 1050 adults residing in Spain. Participants underwent the following determinations: age, sex, body mass index, smoking habit, blood pressure, glycemia, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and cardiovascular events.

Reproducibility of continuous glucose monitoring results under real-life conditions in an adult population: a functional data analysis.

Continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGM) are a very useful tool to understand the behaviour of glucose in different situations and populations. Despite the widespread use of CGM systems in both clinical practice and research, our understanding of the reproducibility of CGM data remains limited. The present work examines the reproducibility of the results provided by a CGM system in a random sample of a free-living adult population, from a functional data analysis approach.
