Article Synopsis
- * Findings showed that male runners with low BMD trained more hours and had less varied physical activity compared to those with normal BMD, while female runners with low BMD engaged in more varied activities in middle school but had similar running volumes.
- * The study suggests that to reduce the risk of low BMD, young runners should mix in various sports, avoid focusing too much on long-distance running, and prevent excessive training during their growth phases.
Healthcare reform is analyzed from an economic perspective. First, the economic rationale for providing access to healthcare lies in the benefit from knowing that those without means would be able to access health services.

- * This study involved five female athletes exercising in different menstrual phases, analyzing serum samples to understand the relationship between appetite regulation and these phases.
- * Key findings included significant changes in specific serum proteins (like haptoglobin and complement component 3), with appetite suppressor peptide YY (PYY) playing a crucial role in regulating appetite and possibly connecting intestinal health and immune response to energy management.
Differentiating between idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) and secondary interstitial pneumonia, particularly connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD), can be challenging histopathologically, and there may be discrepancies among pathologists. While surgical lung biopsy has traditionally been considered the gold standard for diagnosing interstitial pneumonia, the usefulness of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) has been reported. If TBLC could effectively distinguish between primary and secondary diseases, it would provide a less invasive option for patients.
