Unlabelled: The association between obesity and fracture was skeletal site-specific with no gender difference. Obesity was associated with a higher risk of proximal humerus fractures but not for wrist or clinical vertebral fractures.
Purpose: The association between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of clinical fractures at different sites is unclear. This study aimed to examine associations between BMI and fractures at different sites in Korean men and women.
Methods: This study analyzed 285,643 Korean adults (aged 50-80 years) who participated in health examinations from 2002 to 2003 and were followed up until 2015. The incidences of osteoporotic fractures were assessed using the International Classification of Diseases (10th revision; ICD-10) and procedure or radiographic codes. After adjusting for confounders, hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using Cox proportional hazard models for fracture risk.
Results: Site-specific associations between BMI and fractures were found without gender difference. Specifically, an L-shaped association was found for clinical vertebral fractures, wherein the adjusted HRs per 5 kg/m increase were 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.76-0.83) in BMI groups < 25 kg/m and 0.97 (95% CI = 0.92-1.03) in BMI ≥ 25 kg/m. A linear inverse correlation for wrist fractures was observed, wherein the HRs were 0.83 (95% CI = 0.81-0.86) per 5 kg/m increase. For proximal humerus fractures, a non-linear U-shape association was found, wherein the adjusted HRs per 5 kg/m increase were 0.66 (95% CI = 0.50-0.88) in BMI groups < 23 kg/m and 1.25 (95% CI = 1.08-1.45) in BMI ≥ 23 kg/m.
Conclusion: Low BMI was a risk factor for all tested fractures. Obesity was a risk factor for proximal humerus fracture, but it is a protective factor for wrist fracture.

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), especially the ApoE4 isotype, is suggested to influence the severity of respiratory viral infections; however, this association is still unclear. The presence of allele ε4 impacts the development of flu-like syndromes. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the Apo E4 isoform on the severity and duration of flu-like syndromes, including the coronavirus disease COVID-19.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which have a reciprocal relationship compounded by obesity, are highly prevalent in the Middle East affecting morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the severity of MASLD and liver fibrosis among adult Emirati patients with long-standing T2DM.
Design And Participants: This cross-sectional study used noninvasive methods to assess the severity of MASLD and fibrosis progression in an adult cohort of Emirati patients (N = 546) with a mean T2DM duration of 16 years.

Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2-5-1 Shikata-cho, Kita-ku, Okayama, 700-8558, Japan.
Purpose: Craniopharyngiomas are histologically benign tumors, but their proximity to vital neurovascular structures can significantly deteriorate functional prognoses and severely restrict patients' social interaction and activity. We retrospectively identified risk factors related to the functional prognoses in patients with craniopharyngioma treated at our center.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 40 patients who underwent surgery for craniopharyngioma and follow-up at our institution between 2003 and 2022.
