The associations of cardiovascular health and all-cause mortality among individuals with depression.

The association between the recently updated cardiovascular health (CVH) assessment algorithm, the Life's Essential 8 (LE8), and all-cause mortality among adults with depression remains unknown. From the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2005-2018, a cohort of 2,935 individuals diagnosed with depression was identified. Their CVH was evaluated through the LE8 score system.

Novel type 2 diabetes prediction score based on traditional risk factors and circulating metabolites: model derivation and validation in two large cohort studies.

Harnessing air-water interface to generate interfacial ROS for ultrafast environmental remediation.

The air-water interface of microbubbles represents a crucial microenvironment that can dramatically accelerate reactive oxidative species (ROS) reactions. However, the dynamic nature of microbubbles presents challenges in probing ROS behaviors at the air-water interface, limiting a comprehensive understanding of their chemistry and application. Here we develop an approach to investigate the interfacial ROS via coupling microbubbles with a Fenton-like reaction.

Advancements in Flexible Electronics Fabrication: Film Formation, Patterning, and Interface Optimization for Cutting-Edge Healthcare Monitoring Devices.

Flexible electronics can seamlessly adhere to human skin or internal tissues, enabling the collection of physiological data and real-time vital sign monitoring in home settings, which give it the potential to revolutionize chronic disease management and mitigate mortality rates associated with sudden illnesses, thereby transforming current medical practices. However, the development of flexible electronic devices still faces several challenges, including issues pertaining to material selection, limited functionality, and performance instability. Among these challenges, the choice of appropriate materials, as well as their methods for film formation and patterning, lays the groundwork for versatile device development.

Association between triglyceride glucose body mass index and urinary incontinence: a cross-sectional study from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001 to 2018.

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent, health-threatening condition that causes isolation and psychological strain, leading to significant personal distress. The connection between the triglyceride glucose body mass index (TyG-BMI) and UI remains elusive. The purpose of the current research was to investigate any possible relationships between raised TyG-BMI levels and a higher likelihood of UI.

Association of weight-adjusted waist index with all-cause mortality among non-Asian individuals: a national population-based cohort study.

Introduction: The Weight-Adjusted Waist Index (WWI) is a new indicator of obesity that is associated with all-cause mortality in Asian populations. Our study aimed to investigate the linear and non-linear associations between WWI and all-cause mortality in non-Asian populations in the United States, and whether WWI was superior to traditional obesity indicators as a predictor of all-cause mortality.

Methods: We conducted a cohort study using data from the 2011-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), involving 18,592 participants.

Efficient Catalytic Elimination of Toxic Volatile Organic Compounds via Advanced Oxidation Process Wet Scrubbing with Bifunctional Cobalt Sulfide/Activated Carbon Catalysts.

Advanced oxidation process (AOP) wet scrubber is a powerful and clean technology for organic pollutant treatment but still presents great challenges in removing the highly toxic and hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Herein, we elaborately designed a bifunctional cobalt sulfide (CoS)/activated carbon (AC) catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for efficient toxic VOC removal in an AOP wet scrubber. By combining the excellent VOC adsorption capacity of AC with the highly efficient PMS activation activity of CoS, CoS/AC can rapidly capture VOCs from the gas phase to proceed with the SO and HO radical-induced oxidation reaction.

Genetic prediction of micronutrient levels and the risk of colorectal polyps: A mendelian randomization study.

Objective: Previous epidemiological and experimental studies have yielded conflicting results regarding the influence of human micronutrient levels on the risk of colorectal polyps (CP). In our study, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) investigation to probe the link between 13 human micronutrients (calcium, selenium, magnesium, phosphorus, folate, vitamins B-6, B-12, C, D, beta-carotene, iron, zinc, and copper) and the genetic susceptibility to CP.

Methods: Summary statistics for CP (n = 463,010) were obtained from pan-European genome-wide association studies, and instrumental variables for 13 micronutrients were screened from published genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Associations of weight-adjusted-waist index and depression with secondary infertility.

Background: Obesity and psychological factors were identified as risk factors for female infertility. The study investigated the correlation between WWI, depression, and secondary infertility, focusing on the potential mediating role of depression.

Methods: According to the data from NHANES, this cross-sectional study used multiple regression analysis, subgroup analysis, and smooth curve fitting to explore the relationship between WWI, depression, and secondary infertility.

Association between cardiovascular health and abdominal aortic calcification: Analyses of NHANES 2013-2014.

Background: Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is closely connected to cardiovascular disease. We aimed to measure the association between cardiovascular health (CVH) levels, assessed by the Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score, and AAC within a nationally representative sample of the US.

LPI-IBWA: Predicting lncRNA-protein interactions based on an improved Bi-Random walk algorithm.

Many studies have shown that long-chain noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in a variety of biological processes such as post-transcriptional gene regulation, splicing, and translation by combining with corresponding proteins. Predicting lncRNA-protein interactions is an effective approach to infer the functions of lncRNAs. The paper proposes a new computational model named LPI-IBWA.
