Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the relationship between social relationships and self-rated health (SRH) over 10 years, using data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project with 1,592 participants.
- - It found that lower levels of negative social support were linked to better SRH, particularly noting that negative support from family had a significant impact, especially among women.
- - The results also indicate that mental health may play a role in the correlation between social support and SRH, suggesting that feelings of depression could influence a person's self-rated health.
Malignant lymphoma is an unusual form of gallbladder neoplasm. Almost all these tumors are diffuse large B-cell lymphomas or mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue-type lymphomas. Herein, we present a literature review of gallbladder Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) cases that includes also an unpublished case in an HIV-infected child, observed by our center.

We aim to summarise the available evidence on the associations between SE and cardiometabolic disease (CMD) outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- This study examined pediatric respiratory infections, specifically SARS and RSV, after the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil, comparing characteristics of affected children.
- Conducted between April 2020 and April 2021, it analyzed children under 48 months admitted to a pediatric hospital, collecting samples for viral testing and using logistic regression to identify clinical differences.
- Results showed that children with RSV were generally younger, exhibited less fever, and had more upper airway symptoms compared to those with COVID-19, indicating distinct illness manifestations between the two viruses.
Organic arabic coffee husk: Antioxidant and cytoprotective properties and potential impacts on selected human intestinal bacterial populations of individuals with diabetes.
Food Res Int
September 2024
Coffee husks are the main by-product of the coffee industry and have been traditionally discarded in the environment or used as fertilizers. However, recent studies have shown that coffee husks have bioactive compounds, such as phenolics and fiber-bound macro antioxidants, offering a range of potential health benefits. This study evaluated the antioxidant capacity, cytoprotective/cytotoxic properties, and stimulatory effects on the relative abundance of selected intestinal bacterial populations of individuals with diabetes of organic coffee husks.
