- This study focuses on identifying different immune profiles in sepsis patients based on their body temperature patterns to potentially enable more targeted treatments.
- Researchers categorized 3,576 hospitalized patients with suspected infections into four distinct temperature trajectory subphenotypes and assessed their clinical outcomes and biomarker levels.
- Findings revealed significant differences in mortality rates among these subphenotypes, with the highest mortality in hypothermic patients and notable differences in 20 specific biomarkers across the temperature groups, highlighting the complexity of sepsis.
Background: This study aims to verify the relationship between screen and sleep time, body mass index (BMI) and immunological factors with telomere length according to leisure-time physical activity (PA) in children and adolescents.
Methods: A cross-sectional study involving a sample of 476 schoolchildren of both sexes, aged seven to 17 years, from a community in southern Brazil. Behavioral variables (PA, sleep time, and screen time) were self-reported using a questionnaire.
