Fasting Glycemia, Glycosylated Hemoglobin and Malnutrition Inflammation Are Associated With Sarcopenia in Older People With Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Hemodialysis Treatment: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Contradictory data are available on the possible association between sarcopenia and other clinical disorders in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis.

Objective: To determine the association between sarcopenia and markers associated with systemic inflammation, fasting glycemia, and quality of life in older people with CKD undergoing hemodialysis.

Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study.

Maternal and child health intervention to promote behaviour change: a population-level cluster-randomised controlled trial in Honduras.

Objectives: To assess the efficacy of a sustained educational intervention to affect diverse outcomes across the pregnancy and infancy timeline.

Setting: A multi-arm cluster-randomised controlled trial in 99 villages in Honduras' Copán region, involving 16 301 people in 5633 households from October 2015 to December 2019.

Participants: Residents aged 12 and older were eligible.

Project AquiLá: Community-engaged Planning to Explore the Relationship between Culture and Health.

Background: Elements of charrette planning were employed to develop and examine the relationship between transnationalism, culture and health.

Objective: This paper describes the partnership, the first two stages of the planning charrette and lessons learned.

Methods: During charrette planning phase 1 we collected data through social network interviews (n = 58), cultural conversations (n = 88), and photovoice (n = 9).

Outcomes over 20 years performing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy: a single-surgeon experience.

Objective: To evaluate a single surgeon's 20-year experience with robotic radical prostatectomy.

Methods: Patients who had undergone robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy by a single surgeon were identified via an IRB approved prospectively maintained prostate cancer database. Patients were divided into 5-year cohorts (cohort A 2001-2005; cohort B 2006-2010; cohort C 2011-2015; cohort D 2016-2021) for analysis.

Facebook Intervention for Young-Onset Melanoma Survivors and Families: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Individuals diagnosed with melanoma before the age of 40 years (young-onset melanoma survivors) and their first-degree relatives (FDRs) are a growing population at risk for developing recurrent melanoma or new melanomas. Regular surveillance using clinical skin examination (CSE) and skin self-examination (SSE) and engagement in preventive behaviors including sun protection are recommended. Given the growing population of survivors and their families who are at increased risk, it is surprising that no behavioral interventions have been developed and evaluated to improve risk-reduction behaviors.
