Aims: The aim of this study is to establish the prevalence of diabetes (DM) and prediabetes in the Czech population aged 25-64 years and to evaluate the relationships with various cardiometabolic, sociodemographic, and lifestyle risk factors.
Methods: This was an epidemiological study with a stratified, crosssectional, random sampling design. Sociodemographic, lifestyle, and anamnestic data were collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires, medical examination, and biochemical assays.
Results: Among the 1189 participants, 114 were diagnosed with DM (9.6%), 330 with prediabetes (27.8%) and 745 were non-diabetes/non-prediabetes individuals (62.7%). Logistic regression analysis showed that overweight, general and abdominal obesity, hypertension, and lower level of HDL (increased risk) significantly increased the risk of both prediabetes and DM, while living in the cities diminished risk of DM. Among lifestyle variables the significant increased risk of prediabetes and DM was found for smokers and ex-smokers. In other lifestyle variables (marijuana lifetime prevalence, physical activity and frequency of alcohol drinking) the significantly higher or lower risk for prediabetes or DM was not found.
Conclusions: The study shows a high prevalence of DM and prediabetes in the Czech population of age between 25 and 64, providing data on their association with several risk factors.

Background: Inequities exist in pediatric surgical outcomes. Differential outcomes have been identified across racial groups, geography, and socioeconomic standing. However, the association between preferred language, interpreter use, and surgical outcomes is not well-studied in pediatric surgical literature.

Preventive interventions are expected to substantially improve the prognosis of patients with primary liver cancer, predominantly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma. HCC prevention is challenging in the face of the evolving etiological landscape, particularly the sharp increase in obesity-associated metabolic disorders, including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Next-generation anti-HCV and HBV drugs have substantially reduced, but not eliminated, the risk of HCC and have given way to new challenges in identifying at-risk patients.

Background: The potential of telehealth psychotherapy (ie, the online delivery of treatment via a video web-based platform) is gaining increased attention. However, there is skepticism about its acceptance, safety, and efficacy for patients with high emotional and behavioral dysregulation.
Objective: This study aims to provide initial effect size estimates of symptom change from pre- to post treatment, and the acceptance and safety of telehealth dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
