Abnormal adiposity indices are associated with an increased risk of diabetes in a non-obese Asian population.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between adiposity indices and the risk of incident diabetes and to compare their predictive ability in non-obese healthy individuals.

Study Design: Population-based cohort study.

Methods: Data were taken from the NAGALA research study, which enrolled Japanese adults aged 18-79 years.

Effect of probiotic supplementation on in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a study protocol for an open-label, randomized, controlled, superiority clinical trial.

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated a correlation between intestinal flora and the severity of myocardial infarction as well as post-myocardial infarction repair. However, few studies have investigated whether probiotics reduce mortality and improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction. In this study, we will conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effect of probiotics on in-hospital mortality and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Clinical effects and safety of edaravone in treatment of acute ischaemic stroke: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

What Is Known And Objective: Edaravone is a new antioxidant and hydroxyl radical scavenger. Although there is evidence that it improves clinical outcomes of patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS), it is not yet widely accepted for treatment of AIS in Western countries. We further investigated the efficacy and safety of edaravone through this meta-analysis of randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs).
