Objective: To evaluate malnutrition and its association with outcomes in adult patients requiring venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Methods: Patients cannulated for VA ECMO between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2023, were screened. Patients on ECMO for <48 hours or without a nutritional evaluation were excluded.

Epidemiology studies evaluate associations between the metabolome and disease risk. Urine is a common biospecimen used for such studies due to its wide availability and non-invasive collection. Evaluating the robustness of urinary metabolomic profiles under varying preanalytical conditions is thus of interest.

Background: Numerous systematic reviews (SR) and meta-analyses (MA) on low calorie sweeteners (LCS) have been published in recent years, concluding that LCS have beneficial, neutral, or detrimental effects on various health outcomes, depending on the review.

Objectives: The objective of this overview of reviews was to determine how the methodologies of SR investigating the association between LCS consumption and body weight (BW) influence their findings and whether MA results can provide a consistent estimated effect.

Methods: Systematic searches of PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library were conducted in November 2022 to identify SR of randomized controlled trials (RCT) or non-randomized studies (NRS) investigating the association between LCS consumption and BW.

Article Synopsis
  • College athletes often underreport concussion symptoms due to a lack of awareness or fear of being removed from play, posing a challenge for sports medicine professionals.
  • A study involving 2,649 student-athletes aimed to identify factors that influence their intentions to report concussion symptoms, focusing on demographics, athletic identity, attitudes, social pressures, and perceived control.
  • Results indicated that positive attitudes, social norms, and perceived capacity significantly boosted the likelihood of symptom reporting, while strong athletic identity and collision sports participation negatively impacted intentions, suggesting targeted interventions could improve reporting rates.
