Objectives: To determine whether the dietary inflammatory index (DII) is associated with inflammatory or metabolic biomarkers and metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) among police officers.
Methods: Cross-sectional data from the Buffalo Cardio-Metabolic Occupational Police Stress study were derived from saliva and fasting blood samples, anthropometric measurements, long-term shiftwork histories, and demographic, stress/depression, and food frequency questionnaires (FFQs). Metabolic syndrome was defined using standard criteria.
Results: Officers in DII quartiles 2 to 4 were more likely to exceed a threshold of 3.0 mg/L for C-reactive protein (odds ratio [OR] = 1.88; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 1.02 to 3.45; OR = 2.17; 95% CI = 1.19 to 3.95; OR = 1.57; 95% CI = 0.85 to 2.88, respectively) compared with quartile 1. The glucose intolerance component of MetSyn was more prevalent among officers in DII quartile 4 than among those in quartile 1 (OR = 2.03; 95% CI = 1.08 to 3.82).
Conclusions: A pro-inflammatory diet was associated with elevated CRP and with the glucose intolerance component of MetSyn.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, heart failure (HF), and acute coronary syndrome, represent a significant threat to global health and impose considerable socioeconomic burdens. The intricate pathogenesis of CVD involves various regulatory mechanisms, among which microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical posttranscriptional regulators. In particular, miR-155 has demonstrated differential expression patterns across a spectrum of CVD and is implicated in the etiology and progression of arterial disorders.

Obesity, a chronic disease marked by excessive fat accumulation and a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or more, has become a major global health issue, affecting many adults worldwide and particularly prevalent in developed nations and Saudi Arabia. The condition can be caused by genetic, metabolic, and lifestyle factors. Understanding its awareness is imperative in designing effective health interventions.

Bouveret's syndrome is a rare disorder that causes upper gastrointestinal obstruction, typically in elderly patients with a history of chronic cholelithiasis. We present an unusual case of a 58-year-old woman with untreated vesicular lithiasis who developed Bouveret's syndrome. She presented with severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension.

Neonatal hypoglycemia (NH) is a common abnormality in newborns, posing significant morbidity risks. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are vital to mitigate brain damage and enhance outcomes. Congenital hyperinsulinemia (CHI) is a leading cause of recurrent hypoglycemia in infants, often stemming from genetic mutations such as in the gene, manifesting as hyperinsulinism-hyperammonemia syndrome (HI/HA).
