AI Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess how individualized cardiac rehabilitation (CR) affects cardiac function, the time taken for recovery, and quality of life in patients who had coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
- Two groups were formed: one received basic rehabilitation while the other underwent an individualized program; findings indicated that those in the individualized group had better outcomes in terms of walking distance and heart function, along with shorter recovery times.
- Overall, individualized CR was found to be safe and effective in enhancing cardiac health and life quality for post-CABG patients.
Article Abstract
Background: To investigate the effect of individualized cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on cardiac function, time consumption, and quality of life (QoL) in post-CABG patients.
Methods: Two different CR strategy: basic rehabilitation and individualized rehabilitation was designed. The patients were screened and randomized into the two groups: the basic rehabilitation group (BRG) and individualized rehabilitation group (IRG). Data, such as clinical characteristics, LVEF, 6MWD (6-min walk distance), BNP, LVEDD (left ventricular end diastolic dimension), SF-36 score, and time consumption were collected and recorded.
Results: There was no difference between the IRG and BRG patients in the clinical characteristics. The 6MWD and LVEF on post-op significantly were higher, while BNP and LVEDD significantly was lower in the IRG than in BRG. The time to first out-of-bed activity, ICU stay time, and post-op hospital stay time of the IRG in post-op was significantly shorter than BRG. The IRG patients scored significantly higher on the SF-36.
Conclusion: Individualized CR is safe and can reduce the time consumption and improve the cardiac function and QoL of patients undergoing CABG.

Inflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of various diseases by promoting the acquisition of new functional traits by different cell types. Shared risk factors between cardiovascular disease and cancer, including smoking, obesity, diabetes, high-fat diet, low physical activity, and alcohol consumption, contribute to inflammation linked to platelet activation. Platelets contribute to an inflammatory state by activating various normal cells, such as fibroblasts, immune cells, and vascular cells.

Objective: This study explores the associations between four macro-level factors-Economic Development (ED), Economic Inequality (EI), Governmental Willingness and capacities to invest in Public Health (GWPH) and Public Health-Related Infrastructures (PHRI)-and three mental health indicators: depressive symptoms, cognitive function and life satisfaction, among middle-aged and older adults in China.
Materials And Methods: We obtained individual-level data from the Harmonised China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (H-CHARLS) 2018 and acquired our provincial-level data from the Chinese Statistical Yearbook. Two-level linear mixed models are used to examine the associations.

Objective: Salmon fish farming has become a major industry in Norway, increasingly dependent on contracted maritime transport and different special services. The aim of the paper was to explore work safety for contractors in Norwegian fish farming. Previous research from other industries illustrates contractors are more susceptible to time and work pressure, have more hazardous jobs, and are more accident-prone, compared to fixed employees.

CHD includes a wide range of cardiac disorders present at birth. If appropriate care is delivered in time, the prognosis is relatively good. However, in many parts of the world, access to healthcare continues to be a problem for these patients, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

Department of Public Health, Erasmus MC University Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Background: Over the past decades, the prevalence of obesity among adults has rapidly increased, particularly in socioeconomically deprived urban neighbourhoods. To better understand the complex mechanisms behind this trend, we created a system map exposing the underlying system driving obesity prevalence in socioeconomically deprived urban neighbourhoods over the last three decades in the Netherlands.
Methods: We conducted Group Model Building (GMB) sessions with a group of thirteen interdisciplinary experts to develop a Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) of the obesogenic system.
