Background: Psychiatric patients have two to three-fold higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality as compared to the general population. Despite the high rate of cardiovascular disease, about 80% of patients with psychiatric disorders have fewer opportunities for cardiovascular disease screening. Early detection of subclinical cardiovascular disease using an electrocardiogram can improve the clinical outcomes of these patients.

The use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) in COPD patients could help to decrease potential lung cancer risk. We planned to conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the role of ICS in the risk of lung cancer among COPD patients.

- Prenatal vitamin D's impact on child growth is not well understood, despite existing reviews on its role in birth outcomes.
- The study analyzed 45 studies involving nearly 45,000 children to assess how maternal vitamin D supplementation affects children's length, finding a significant increase in growth.
- Results indicate that higher doses and less frequent supplementation during the second and third trimesters lead to greater child length, suggesting prenatal vitamin D may promote better growth outcomes in early childhood.
