AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how stopping menstruation, either naturally or through surgery, impacts lung function in women.
- Analyzing data from over 141,000 women, findings show that those who naturally stopped menstruating had decreased lung function measurements compared to those who still menstruate.
- Additionally, lower lung function was more pronounced in women who stopped menstruating at an earlier age, whereas no significant link was found between lung function and the age at which surgical procedures like hysterectomy occurred.
Article Abstract
Little is known about the effect of cessation of menstruation on lung function. The aims of the study were to examine the association of lung function with natural and surgical cessation of menstruation, and assess whether lower lung function is associated with earlier age at cessation of menstruation.The study was performed in 141 076 women from the UK Biobank, who had provided acceptable and reproducible spirometry measurements and information on menstrual status. The associations of lung function (forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV), spirometric restriction (FVC < lower limit of normal (LLN)), airflow obstruction (FEV/FVC

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a common histologic lung cancer with high morbidity and mortality, and most patients have distant metastases at diagnosis. RasGEF Domain Family Member 1C (RASGEF1C) could regulated Alzheimer's disease. However, its function in various cancers, including LUAD, is poorly understood.

Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, fibrotic interstitial pneumonia, which is characterised by progressive worsening of dyspnoea and lung function. Nintedanib treatment is recommended to slow IPF disease progression. The aim of this post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of nintedanib over 24 months in patients with IPF in a real-world setting in Japan.

Background: Pediatric patients with cancer have limited options to self-manage their health while they are undergoing treatments in the hospital and after they are discharged to their homes. Extended reality (ER) using head-mounted displays has emerged as an immersive method of improving pain and mental health and promoting health-enhancing physical activity among a variety of clinical groups, but there is currently no established protocol for improving both physical and mental health in pediatric cancer rehabilitation.
Objective: This phase I, pilot, feasibility randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the potential effects of a 14-week ER program on physical activity participation and indicators of health among pediatric patients with cancer who undergo bone marrow transplantation.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common and severe complication of sepsis with a high mortality rate. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, contributes to lung injury. Homeobox A5 (HOXA5) is involved in the regulation of septic acute kidney damage; however, its function on ferroptosis in septic ALI remains unclear.
