Optimal exercise dose on Body Mass Index (BMI) in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity: a systematic review and bayesian model-based network meta-analysis.

Background: Exercise is widely used for obesity management, but the optimal doses of exercise for improving body mass index (BMI) in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the dose‒response effects of various exercises on BMI in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted in Web of Science (Core Collection), PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials on relevant studies, covering literature up to July 2024.

Low-Intensity Online Intervention for Mental Distress Among Help-Seeking Young People in Hong Kong: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Mental health issues among young people are increasingly concerning. Conventional psychological interventions face challenges, including limited staffing, time commitment, and low completion rates.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a low-intensity online intervention on young people in Hong Kong experiencing moderate or greater mental distress.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutation provides a new insight into resveratrol biosynthesis by causing a metabolic pathway shift from flavonoids to stilbenoids in cells.

Resveratrol is an important phytoalexin that adapts to and responds to stressful conditions and plays various roles in health and medical therapies. However, it is only found in a limited number of plant species in low concentrations, which hinders its development and utilization. Chalcone synthase (CHS) and stilbene synthase (STS) catalyze the same substrates to produce flavonoids and resveratrol, respectively.

Association of Naples Prognostic Score with cardiovascular disease risk and its longitudinal prognostic impact on mortality in cardiovascular disease patients: Evidence from NHANES.

Background And Aim: The Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) predicts outcomes in various diseases, but its impact on cardiovascular disease (CVD) is understudied. This study investigates the association between NPS and CVD prevalence and mortality among US adults.

Methods And Results: This study utilized data from the Continuous National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 1999 and 2016, with mortality follow-up data available through December 31, 2019.

Application of targeted high-throughput sequencing as a diagnostic tool for neonatal genetic metabolic diseases following tandem mass spectrometry screening.

Background: Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is a crucial technique for detecting inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) in newborns. However, the high false positive rate poses challenges in diagnosing specific types of diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the role of targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) in the accurate diagnosis of positive samples identified through MS/MS screening.
