Although several studies have discussed the relationships among digital health literacy, health, and exercise behavior, few have integrated these 3 factors into a single model. This study aims to address this research gap. This article aims to analyze the impact of digital health literacy on the health of older adults, as well as the mediating mechanisms related to exercise frequency and duration.

Contrast-enhanced CT showed multiple enhancing right-sided pleural masses and soft tissue plaques and enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. The pleural lesions and mediastinal lymph nodes showed intense FDG uptake mimicking malignant pleural mesothelioma with mediastinal lymph node metastases.

- - This study assessed the effectiveness of ginkgo diterpene lactone meglumine injection (GDLI) combined with aspirin in patients who have experienced an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) by comparing it to a placebo.
- - A total of 70 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the GDLI and aspirin treatment or a placebo with aspirin, and various health metrics were measured to determine outcomes.
- - Results indicated that patients receiving GDLI with aspirin experienced significantly lower platelet aggregation and improved treatment outcomes compared to those taking aspirin alone, highlighting GDLI's beneficial effects on AIS prognosis.
The purpose was to explore the value of high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) in predicting long-term clinical outcomes for stroke patients. The platelet reactivity was assayed after being treated with either 75 mg clopidogrel or 100 mg aspirin daily with VerifyNow System in stroke patients. HTPR for clopidogrel was defined as PRU ≥ 208, and that for aspirin was defined as ARU ≥ 550.

Article Synopsis
- Research shows that abnormal microRNA (miRNA) expression is linked to tumor development, but the connection between miRNAs and non-functional pituitary adenomas (NFPA) is not well understood.
- * In this study, researchers compared the expression levels of four specific miRNAs (miRNA-26b, miRNA-138, miRNA-206, and miRNA-let-7e) in blood samples from NFPA patients and healthy individuals to identify potential clinical biomarkers.
- * Results indicated that NFPA patients had significantly lower levels of these miRNAs compared to healthy controls, suggesting that they may play a role in NFPA's occurrence and progression, potentially serving as tumor suppressor genes.
The present study aimed to screen potential genes associated with pituitary adenomas to obtain further understanding with regard to the pathogenesis of pituitary adenomas. The microarray GSE23207 dataset, containing 16 pituitary adenoma samples from multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome-associated rats and 5 normal pituitary tissue samples, was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus. The Linear Models for Microarray Data package was used to identify the differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) with the cut-off criteria of a |logfold change (FC)|>1 and adjusted P-values of <0.
