Purpose: This study aimed to elucidate the correlation between the degree of fat infiltration (FI) in thoracic paraspinal muscles and thoracic vertebral degeneration (TVD).
Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised 474 patients who underwent standard thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans. The FI was quantified as the percentage of adipose tissues within the cross-sectional area of thoracic paraspinal muscles.

Background: The precise identification of pathogens responsible for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children is essential for effective treatment. However, the performance of targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) in the detection of pathogens associated with CAP in children remains unclear.
Methods: In this study, 216 children diagnosed with CAP were enrolled, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples underwent detection through tNGS, culture, and multiplex quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
Association of Sugar sweetened, Artificially Sweetened, and Unsweetened Coffee Consumption with Chronic Liver Disease and Liver Related Events: A Large Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Previous observational studies haven't reached an agreement on the association between coffee consumption and risk of liver diseases. Also, none of these studies took sweetener added in coffee into consideration.
Objective: We aim to explore the associations of consumption of sweetened and unsweetened coffee with chronic liver disease (CLD) and liver-related events (LREs), and evaluate the degree to which sweetener added counteracted the effect of coffee.
Effect of reduced placental expression of zinc transporters on selective intrauterine growth restriction in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies.

Zinc is an essential trace element. The regulatory mechanism of zinc and its transporters in fetal growth in monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins with selective intrauterine growth restriction (MCDA-sIUGR) is unclear. A total of 45 MCDA twins were divided into two groups, MCDA (n=37) and MCDA-sIUGR (n=8), to investigate their possible effects on fetal growth.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is an effective intervention for high-risk patients with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR), but its acute impact on left ventricular (LV) function has not been well studied using advanced echocardiographic techniques. This study investigated the immediate effects of TEER on LV volumes and functions, as well as their influence on mid-term outcomes, using high-resolution 3D transesophageal echocardiography. In 80 patients undergoing TEER for severe MR (mean age 79±8 years, 49% with primary MR), LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and stroke volume significantly decreased (161±61 to 147±54 ml and 69±18 to 50±15 ml, respectively), while end-systolic volume increased (92±60 to 97±45 ml; p<0.
