Short-term effects of brief stair climbing interruptions on postprandial hyperglycemia during prolonged sitting: a randomized cross-over trial.

Prolonged sitting can negatively impact postprandial glucose levels and cognitive function. While short bouts of stair climbing are thought to mitigate these risks, the findings remain inconclusive. The present study aimed to explore the effects of stair climbing bouts on postprandial glucose and cognitive functions during prolonged sitting.

Relation of skinfold thickness with the serum lipids, glucose and blood pressure among Indian sedentary office workers.

Background: Serum glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) are established cardiovascular disease (CVD) markers, however accessibility to these markers is less in individuals from low-middle income countries. The non-invasive CVD risk marker especially skinfold measured fat percentages are less explored for its relevance with established serum biochemistry markers.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 70 sedentary office workers (aged 30-40 years) who were healthy.

Long-Term outcomes after stress echocardiography in real world practice: five-year follow-up of the UK Evarest study.

Aims: Stress echocardiography is widely used to assess patients with chest pain. The clinical value of a positive or negative test result to inform on likely longer-term outcomes when applied in real world practice across a healthcare system has not been previously reported.

Methods And Results: 5503 patients recruited across 32 UK NHS hospitals between 2018 and 2022, participating in the EVAREST/BSE-NSTEP prospective cohort study, with data on medical outcomes up to 2023 available from NHS England were included in analysis.

Nutraceuticals target androgen receptor-splice variants (AR-SV) to manage castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

Every year, prostate cancer is diagnosed in millions of men. The androgen receptor's (AR) unchecked activation is crucial in causing the development and progression of prostate cancer. Second-generation anti-androgen therapies, which primarily focus on targeting the Ligand Binding Domain (LBD) of AR, are effective for most patients.

Stair climbing interventions reduce postprandial hyperglycemia but not cognitive functions: findings of a randomized cross-over trial.

Prolonged sitting can negatively impact postprandial glucose levels and cognitive functions. Stair climbing interventions have potential to mitigate these risks however remains unexplored. The present study aimed to explore the effects of stair climbing bouts on postprandial glucose and cognitive functions during prolonged sitting.
