Objective: This review examined the influence of anthropometric characteristics, such as body height (BH) and body mass (BM), on the impact of punches in striking-combat sports. Despite their perceived importance for combat strategy, the relationship between these characteristics and punch impact remains unclear.
Methods: We included experimental, quasi-experimental and cross-sectional studies.
Brain dopamine type 2 and 3 receptors (D2/3R) have been postulated to play a role in obesity. However, results from molecular neuroimaging studies exploring these receptors in obesity are not consensual. These inconsistencies may be due to the distinct characteristics of radiotracers that confound the interpretation of D2/3R assessment.

It has negative health implications for the cattle, economic implications for the owners and is present in numerous cattle and wildlife populations worldwide. To determine the seroprevalence of BB in dual-purpose herds and assess its impact in the southern part of the Department of Atlántico, northern Colombia.

- * Three beverage consumption patterns were identified: ‘ultra-processed beverages’, ‘alcoholic beverages’, and ‘healthy beverages’, with findings indicating that higher consumption of ultra-processed drinks was linked to a significantly increased prevalence of cancer, while alcoholic drinks were associated with higher obesity rates.
- * Conversely, greater adherence to healthy beverages led to a reduction in the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and abdominal obesity, highlighting the need for further research on how beverage patterns impact health.
Memory-related impairments in type 2 diabetes may be mediated by insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. Previous cross-sectional studies have controversially suggested a relationship between metabolic control and a decrease in hippocampal volumes, but only longitudinal studies can test this hypothesis directly. We performed a longitudinal morphometric study to provide a direct test of a possible role of higher levels of glycated hemoglobin with long term brain structural integrity in key regions of the memory system - hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus and fusiform gyrus.
