Physical activity and sedentary behavior have significant prognostic importance in survivors of breast cancer. However, not much is known about physical activity and sedentary behavior in the midwestern United States for patients who have breast cancer. This study provides patient-reported physical activity and sedentary behavior from a cohort of patients from the midwestern United States.

We investigated the long-term effects of PBO performed before age 50 years on amyloid beta (Aβ), tau, and neurodegeneration imaging biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Methods: Mayo Clinic Cohort Study of Oophorectomy and Aging-2 participants were divided into early PBO (< 46 years; n = 61), and late PBO (46-49 years; n = 51) groups and were compared to referent women who did not undergo PBO (n = 119).
Background: This study sought to evaluate short- and long-term outcomes of aortic valve (AV) intervention by decalcification or replacement for the treatment of mild to moderate calcific AV stenosis (AS) in patients undergoing transaortic septal myectomy for subaortic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction.
Methods: Between 2000 and 2023, study investigators identified 137 consecutive patients undergoing myectomy with or without membranectomy for mild to moderate calcific AS. Of these patients, 93 underwent surgical intervention on the AV and formed the primary cohort; 44 patients who did not undergo AV intervention were used as a control group.
Article Synopsis
- Emerging research shows a significant link between diet quality in breast cancer patients and their cardiovascular health.
- A study of 108 patients in the midwestern US found their average diet quality score was significantly lower than the national average and did not improve over time after diagnosis, despite their willingness to make dietary changes.
- Barriers like unpredictable schedules and time constraints hindered these patients from adopting healthier eating habits, indicating a need for targeted interventions to improve their diet quality.
