[Can changes in diastolic function be predicted according to risk factors?].

Introduction: Diastolic function has a dynamic behavior according to modifying factors. We describe the variables used in its assessment by echocardiography in different population groups of men and women to determine whether changes can be predicted according to their risk factors.

Materials And Methods: Observational and descriptive cross-sectional registry.

Incorporating thermal co-evaporation in current-matched all-perovskite triple-junction solar cells.

Thermal co-evaporation of halide perovskites is a solution-free, conformal, scalable, and controllable deposition technique with great potential for commercial applications, particularly in multi-junction solar cells. Monolithic triple-junction perovskite solar cells have garnered significant attention because they can achieve very high efficiencies. Nevertheless, challenges arise in fabricating these devices, as they require multiple layers and precise current matching across complex absorber stacks.

Binge eating behaviours are associated with recurrent weight gain after metabolic and bariatric surgery.

Background: Recurrent weight gain (RWG) is a major post-operative challenge among metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) patients. Binge eating behaviours (BEB) and food addiction (FA) have been identified as significant predictors of post-MBS RWG. However, limited research has investigated their independent associations with post-MBS RWG.

Multilevel Mediators on the Associations of Neighborhood Social Environmental Factors and Severity of Metabolic Syndrome: The Jackson Heart Study.

Background: Neighborhood characteristics serve as risk factors for metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the intermediary factors linking this relationship remain understudied. Thus, we investigated the sex-specific mediating role of C-reactive protein, physical activity (PA), and perceived stress in the associations of perceived neighborhood social environment (PNSE) with MetS severity among Black adults.

The long odyssey for the DEE-CDKL5 diagnosis: A call for action.

Objectives: This study aims to determine the current state of CDD diagnosis and epilepsy treatment in an upper-middle-income country.

Methods: Forty-seven families of the Brazilian CDD Association were invited to participate in an online survey to gather information about the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy.

Results: Forty-three families (91.
