Chronic sedentary behavior can have a negative impact on the executive function (EF) of young people. While physical activity (PA) has been shown to improve this phenomenon, the effects of different types of PA on EF vary. In this study, we compared the effects of moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) (60-70% HRmax, 30 min), body weight training (BWT) (2 sets tabata, 20 min), and mind-body exercise (MBE) (2 sets Yang style shadowboxing, 20 min) on EF in 59 sedentary youth (n = 59, age = 20.

Background: Severe hypertension in young patients presents a significant diagnostic dilemma, and treatment can often be codified. Therefore, it is crucial to diagnose these cases for probable secondary hypertension. Common causes of secondary hypertension include large vessel vasculitis, renal artery stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, and endocrine disorders.

In the presence of the left ventricle hypertrophy (LVH), the differential diagnosis with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or some phenocopy must be always considered, which can be easily suspected when the hypertrophy is markedly asymmetric. However, when the hypertrophy is homogeneous, especially if the patient has concomitant hypertension, it may be a challenge to distinguish between hypertensive and HCM, although some clinical features may help us to suspect it. In addition, patients with HCM may present with exertional angina due to microcirculation involvement in the setting of the hypertrophy itself or dynamic obstruction in the left ventricular outflow tract, but in some cases, the presence of concomitant coronary artery disease must be suspected as the cause of angina, especially if the patient has an intermediate or high-risk probability of having ischemic heart disease.

Carcinoid syndrome arises from neuroendocrine tumors, characterized by the presence of neurosecretory granules. The diagnosis of carcinoid syndrome involves biochemical testing and various imaging techniques. We report the case of a 62-year-old man with Parkinson's Disease who was found to have new-onset cirrhosis and multiple hepatic lesions with necrosis on CT imaging.
