Infrainguinal bypass for limb salvage has comparable mortality and affords a better chance of home discharge than amputation among octogenarians.

The George Washington University Hospital, Department of Surgery, Washington, D.C., USA.
Background: Infrainguinal bypass for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CTLI) in octogenarians is considered a high-risk procedure due to the presumed associated frailty of the patient population. However, the alternative which is major amputation may not be a better option. This study retrospectively compares the outcomes of bypass versus major amputation for functionally independent and partially dependent patients.

Positive results from cancer screenings, like a cancer diagnosis, can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality due to heightened psychological stress. However, positive screening results may also serve as a teachable moment to encourage the adoption of a healthier lifestyle. Consequently, the overall association between positive screenings and CVD mortality risk remains unclear.

Pre-eclampsia remains a significant health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, contributing substantially to maternal and neonatal mortality rates. This paper explores the potential of low-dose calcium supplementation as an alternative strategy to the conventional high-dose regimen in preventing pre-eclampsia. A consistent association between low serum calcium levels and an increased risk of pre-eclampsia is established based on studies spanning Ghana, Nigeria, and Ethiopia.

Humans are widely exposed to phenols, parabens, and phthalates with health risks, while the effects of these chemicals on biological aging remain unclear. Among 3,441 adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2010, phenol, paraben, and phthalate concentrations were measured and phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) was calculated. Linear regression and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression were used to evaluate the associations of single and mixed chemicals with PhenoAgeAccel.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the influence of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors (KABs) on salt consumption in Turkey, emphasizing the need for KAB assessment to tackle public health concerns related to high salt intake.
- The research involved 415 adults and found that while many recognized the health risks of high salt intake, their behaviors did not consistently match their attitudes, particularly regarding label-checking and using low-sodium products.
- The findings suggest a need for improved education about salt's health effects and dietary sources, as well as the implementation of regulations to promote healthier food choices and reduce salt levels in the food industry.
