Purpose: The present study was performed to investigate the association of prostate cancer radiotherapy with inflammaging, a condition characterized by the elevation of inflammatory blood parameters that significantly increases the susceptibility to the occurrence or progression of age-related conditions.

Patients And Methods: A total of 306 patients treated with curative radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer were enrolled into the prospective study. Aging-related inflammatory parameters including C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, fibrinogen, cholesterol, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were analyzed before and at the end of RT, and 3 and 15 months after completion of the RT.

Article Synopsis
  • Sedentary behavior (SB) is linked to health issues like obesity and diabetes, and while physical activity (PA) might help, its effects on inflammation and cardiometabolic responses remain unclear.
  • A study involving 17 young adults assessed how light-intensity PA snacks (like standing or walking) compared to prolonged sitting affected health markers during an 8-hour work simulation.
  • Results showed that light-intensity activities led to significant positive changes in various inflammatory and cardiometabolic markers, indicating potential health benefits over uninterrupted sitting.

The effects of intermittent fasting (IF) on health promotion in the healthy population remain controversial. Therefore, our study aimed to analyse the efficacy and feasibility of different IF protocols and evaluated the effects within a cohort with a controlled-run in phase on the body mass index (BMI) as the primary outcome, the body composition, and metabolic and haematological markers in healthy participants. A total of 25 individuals were randomised into three fasting groups: 16/8 fasting ( = 11), 20/4 fasting ( = 6), and alternate-day fasting (ADF, = 8).

Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptors (suPARs) are a biomarker for inflammatory diseases. This study aims to investigate its diagnostic properties regarding periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). This retrospective cohort study included adult patients who underwent joint puncture for suspected PJI.
