The individual valuation of risks in patients with acute myocardial infarction on the basis of a monitoring of the creatine kinase (CK) is made evident as relevant to practice for the basic medical care. Thereby a classification of risk groups on the basis of CKmax (less than or equal to 23; greater than 23 less than or equal to 40; greater than 40 less than or equal to 60; greater than 60 mumol/l.s) is controlled. The measurement of the ejection fraction global was performed also according to risk groups (greater than 60; greater than 45 less than or equal to 60; greater than 30 less than or equal to 45; less than or equal to 30%). Parallel to this a classification of the patients according to the electrocardiogram (non-Q-wave, Q-wave) was retrospectively performed. The anamnestic information Re-AMI was individually taken into consideration for the evaluation of CKmax. In 2.5% of the patients in comparison to the ejection fraction the risk group classification of CKmax was globally carried out into a higher group without an an principal incorrect evaluation of the risk (slight, middle, high) in the first AMI. No patient with middle or high risk in the first AMI was incorrectly grouped according to the risk group CKmax or ejection fraction global.

Effect of Aerobic Exercises on Lung Function in Women With Fibromyalgia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Phys Act Health
January 2025
Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences, Middle East University, Amman, Jordan.
Background: Aerobic exercises (AEs) have gained much interest in managing fibromyalgia (FM). This trial aimed to find out how AEs affect women with FM in terms of lung function, chest expansion, dyspnea, exercise capacity, and quality of life.
Methods: Eighty FM-diagnosed women were allocated randomly into 2 equal-sized groups.
Rural and remote health care: the case for spatial justice.
Rural Remote Health
January 2025
School of Health Sciences, Western Sydney University, Campbelltown, NSW 2560, Australia.
Almost universally, people living in rural and remote places die younger, poorer, and sicker than urban-dwelling citizens of the same country. Despite clear need, health services are commonly less available, and more costly and challenging to access, for rural and remote people. Rural geography is commonly cited as a reason for these disparities, that is, rural people are said to live in places too distant, too underpopulated, and too difficult to access.

Psychol Trauma
January 2025
Hubert Department of Global Health, Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University.
Objective: To examine the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and intimate partner violence (IPV) among married couples in Nepal as well as the relationships among ACEs, IPV (psychological, sexual, physical), and psychological distress.
Method: The sample comprised the control group ( = 720) of a cluster randomized intervention trial among married women in Nepal. Interviewers assessed ACEs, IPV, quality of life, self-efficacy, and depressive symptoms among participants.
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy rescued mouse critical limb ischemia via upregulating GPR120 against inflammation and promoting angiogenesis for restoring the blood flow in ischemic zone-experimental study.
Int J Surg
January 2025
Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Background: This study tested the hypothesis that extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ECSWT) effectively rescues critical limb ischemia (CLI) in mice through the upregulation of GPR120, which protects against inflammation and angiogenesis to restore blood flow in the ischemic area.
Methods And Results: Compared with the control, ECSWT-induced GPR120-mediated anti-inflammatory effects significantly suppressed the expression of inflammatory signaling biomarkers (TAK1/MAPK family/NF-κB/IL-1β/IL-6/TNF-α/MCP-1) in HUVECs, and these effects were abolished by silencing GPR120 or by the GPR120 antagonist AH7614 (all P < 0.001).
Differences in the effectiveness of individual-level smoking cessation interventions by socioeconomic status.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
January 2025
Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.
Background: People from lower socioeconomic groups are more likely to smoke and less likely to succeed in achieving abstinence, making tobacco smoking a leading driver of health inequalities. Contextual factors affecting subpopulations may moderate the efficacy of individual-level smoking cessation interventions. It is not known whether any intervention performs differently across socioeconomically-diverse populations and contexts.
