Background: The mortality of sepsis without direct drugs is high. The association between prediabetes, based on a single fasting glucose (FG), or long-term type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and sepsis remains unclear.
Methods: Of the adults aged ≥20 years who were included in the National Health Screening Program (NHSP) in 2009, 40% were randomly sampled.
Physical Activity and the incidence of sepsis: A 10-year observational study among 4 million adults.

Background: As the group at high risk for sepsis is increasing with the aging of the population, physical activity (PA), which has beneficial effects on various diseases, needs to be considered as a personalized prevention strategy for sepsis without direct anti-sepsis drug.
Purpose: To examine the association between the amount of PA (based on intensity, duration, and frequency) and the incidence rates of sepsis and mortality after sepsis.
Methods: This was a large-scale, retrospective, longitudinal cohort study using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service and the biennial general health screening program.
Article Synopsis
- Sepsis is a significant global health issue with high mortality rates and no specific treatment, yet the relationship between smoking and sepsis has not been thoroughly studied.
- This research analyzed data from over 4 million adults in South Korea who were monitored for 10 years, assessing their smoking status and incidence of sepsis.
- The findings indicate that both active and former smokers, especially those with a history of smoking 20 or more pack-years, have a significantly increased risk of developing sepsis, suggesting that quitting smoking may help reduce this risk.
In this study, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the efficacy of commercial vaccines against PPE in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Of the 373 articles reviewed, 16 fulfilled the pre-specified inclusion criteria. Three independent reviewers extracted the data, and vaccine effectiveness was assessed using the outcomes of interest.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFMusic and language are human cognitive and neural functions that share many structural similarities. Past theories posit a sharing of neural resources between syntax processing in music and language (Patel, 2003), and a dynamic attention network that governs general temporal processing (Large and Jones, 1999). Both make predictions about music and language processing over time.
