Background & Aims: We aimed to describe the dose-response relationship between daily step counts and intensity with respect to all-cause mortality among US adults diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Methods: Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database spanning from 2005 to 2006, a cross-sectional study included 1,108 participants was performed to assess the relationship between daily step counts and step intensity with mortality.

Results: A total of 1,108 participants from the NHANES study were included, with a mean age of 49.

Article Synopsis
  • Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a serious and often fatal complication following extensive liver surgery, but the exact mechanisms causing liver cell damage are not fully understood.
  • In laboratory experiments, mice underwent an 86% hepatectomy, which resulted in significant liver cell injury characterized by cell enlargement, death, and changes in lipid levels, particularly an increase in certain harmful lipids associated with ferroptosis—a form of cell death.
  • The study found that a compound called ferrostatin-1 could reduce the liver cell damage and mortality associated with PHLF, suggesting that targeting lipid peroxidation through ferroptosis could be a promising treatment approach.

Objective: To compare the effect of inlaid labial mucosal graft repair (LMGR) with that of bladder mucosal graft repair (BMGR) in the treatment of complex urethral skin fistula after hypospadias repair.

Methods: This study included 55 cases of complex urethral skin fistula following hypospadias repair. We randomly assigned them to receive inlaid LMGR (n=36) or BMGR (n=19).

According to the patient examination criterion and the demands of all related departments, the DSA digital subtraction workstation has been successfully designed and is introduced in this paper by analyzing the characteristic of video source of DSA which was manufactured by GE Company and has no DICOM standard interface. The workstation includes images-capturing gateway and post-processing software. With the developed workstation, all images from this early DSA equipment are transformed into DICOM format and then are shared in different machines.
