Lifelong premature ejaculation patients had altered structural and functional parameters of the hypothalamus compared with healthy controls. The patients showed increased hypothalamus-related functional connectivity in several regions one hour after dapoxetine administration. The changing trends of the brain functional connectivity after dapoxetine administration possibly provided important information about the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor effects on the functional neural system.

The most well-known health effects of environmental degradation are related to air pollution, water quality, diet, poor sanitation, and hazardous chemicals. Air pollution is the biggest environmental health risk today. It affects the most vulnerable populations and is linked to heart diseases, strokes, lung diseases, lung cancer, and other organ diseases.

Implementation of laparotomy-assisted fetoscopic spina bifida repair in two centers in Latin America: rationale for this approach in this region.

AJOG Glob Rep

February 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children's Hospital, Division of Fetal Surgery and Intervention, Houston, TX (Sanz-Cortes).

Background: Spina bifida (SB) is a severe congenital malformation that affects approximately 150,000 infants annually, predominantly in low- and middle-income countries, leading to significant morbidity and lifelong disabilities. In Latin America, the birth prevalence of SB is notably high, often exacerbated by limited healthcare resources and poor access to advanced medical care. The implementation of laparotomy-assisted fetoscopic in-utero SB repair programs in Latin America targets reducing prematurity rates and enabling vaginal births while preserving the benefits of decreased need for hydrocephalus treatment and improved mobility in children.

Exercise Intensity and Cardiac Disease Development in carriers of Titin variants.

Eur J Prev Cardiol

February 2025

Cardiovascular Department, Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Giuliano Isontina (ASUGI), University of Trieste, Italy. Member of the European Reference Network for rare, low-prevalence, or complex diseases of the Heart (ERN GUARD-Heart).

Aims: While the exacerbating effect of physical exercise and its correlation with arrhythmic outcomes have been demonstrated for Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy, the impact of physical exercise on other forms of cardiomyopathies is poorly characterized. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between lifelong exercise intensity and the development of cardiac manifestations in subjects carrying a Likely Pathogenic (LP) or Pathogenic (P) truncating variant of titin (TTNtv).

Methods: TTNtv carriers - patients and family members - were interviewed regarding their exercise habits from birth until diagnosis (type of activity, hours/week, weeks/months, months/years, and number of years of exercise).

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the distribution of small optic discs and large cup-to-disc ratio in children and to examine associations with maternal and environmental factors.

Methods: Retinal photographs were graded from over 3000 12-year-olds in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Regression models examined associations between disc parameters and maternal and early-life exposures.

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCD) have become the leading cause of premature death and disability in the Pacific region, with the development of health literacy an important factor for the prevention and control of NCD. Health literacy is an important lifelong asset that can be developed in adolescents through engagement in schooling and curriculum. The aim of this study was to explore Ni-Van adolescents' health literacy knowledge and capabilities regarding food and nutrition, climate change and digital technology solutions.
