This study expanded the existing literature on obesity and distortion of body image by examining subjective and objective body type among young medical workers, specifically investigating whether fat percentage independently influences body type cognitive bias. We recruited 264 participants (41.29% male, mean age 26.

Recent studies have suggested that IgE is associated with cardiovascular (CV) disease. We aimed to investigate the association between total IgE levels and the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, as well as to explore the potential mediating role of vitamin status in these associations.

Portable sensor technologies are indispensable in personalized healthcare and environmental monitoring as they enable the continuous tracking of key analytes. Human sweat contains valuable physiological information, and previously developed noninvasive sweat-based sensors have effectively monitored single or multiple biomarkers. By successfully detecting biochemicals in sweat, portable sensors could also significantly broaden their application scope, encompassing non-biological fluids commonly encountered in daily life, such as mineral water.

However, the selective separation of lithium from magnesium, particularly in brines with high magnesium concentrations, remains a significant challenge due to the close similarity in their hydrated ionic radii. The limited Li/Mgselectivity of current NF membranes is primarily attributed to insufficient control over pore size and surface charge.
