The relationship between a body shape index (ABSI) and bone mineral density (BMD) remains uncertain, prompting further investigation. This study aims to elucidate the association between ABSI and BMD using data from the 2011-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), involving participants aged 20-60. ABSI was calculated using the formula: ABSI = 1000 × waist circumference (m)×weight (kg)×height (m).

Objective: Osteoporosis is a common comorbidity in patients with SLE, and bone loss in patients with SLE has a multifactorial aetiology. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of denosumab in patients with SLE with osteoporosis and to analyse the factors influencing therapeutic efficacy.
Methods: A total of 166 patients with SLE with osteoporosis who initiated denosumab between January 2016 and December 2023 were included.
Prognostic role of con-/discordant coronary flow reserve and microvascular resistance in coronary microvascular disease: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Coronary microvascular disease (CMD) is defined as impaired coronary flow reserve (CFR) and/or increased microvascular resistance (MR) without significant epicardial coronary stenosis. This definition allows for discordant CFR and MR values within patients with CMD. The aim of this meta-analysis is to characterise the prognostic value and pathophysiological backgrounds of CFR and MR con-/discordance.

Background: Aortic coarctation (CoA) is a congenital anomaly leading to upper-body hypertension and lower-body hypotension. Despite surgical or interventional treatment, arterial hypertension may develop and contribute to morbidity and mortality. Conventional blood pressure (BP) measurement methods lack precision for individual diagnoses and therapeutic decisions.

Understanding the elastic material behavior of myocardium during the diastolic phase is critical for evaluating cardiac function and improving treatments for diastolic abnormalities. This study introduces a novel multi-objective optimization framework that incorporates both strain and volume measurements to enhance the accuracy of myocardial property assessments in Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) patients and healthy controls. By employing global volume and strain measurements instead of segmented strains from the sixteen AHA regions, we achieve a robust alignment with the Klotz curve across all groups, indicating an accurate simulation of end-diastolic pressure-volume relationships (EDPVRs).
