Resuspended particles from human activities can contribute to pathogen exposure via airborne fomite contamination in built environments. Studies investigating the dissemination of resuspended viruses are limited. The goal of this study was to explore viral dissemination after aerosolized resuspension via human activities on indoor flooring.

- Hypercoagulability is linked to higher levels of coagulation factors and increased thrombin generation, which could be related to type 2 diabetes and other complications like glucose metabolism issues and endothelial dysfunction.
- The study analyzed data from 5,718 participants, tracking diabetes diagnoses over 6.7 years, and found that higher levels of specific coagulation factors correlated with increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
- Although glycoprotein acetylation (GlycA) was examined as a potential mediator in these associations, it only explained a small portion of the relationship, suggesting that hypercoagulability plays a significant role in the development of type 2 diabetes.
Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurs most often in a background of cirrhosis. Patients with noncirrhotic HCC represent a distinct population, which has been characterized in single-center studies, but has not been fully evaluated on a population level in the United States.
Materials And Methods: HCC cases from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End-Results diagnosed between 2000 and 2020 were categorized as cirrhotic or noncirrhotic.
Association Between Low Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin and Increased Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Is Mediated by Increased Visceral and Liver Fat: Results From Observational and Mendelian Randomization Analyses.
Diabetes
November 2024
The aim of this study was to investigate the associations among sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), liver fat content, and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). In the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity study, 5,690 women (53%) and men (47%) without preexisting diabetes were included and followed for incident T2D. SHBG concentrations were measured in all participants, VAT was measured using MRI, and liver fat content was measured using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in a random subset of 1,822 participants.
