Facilitators and barriers affecting the implementation of e-health for chronic respiratory diseases in remote settings: a qualitative evidence synthesis.

Department of Paediatrics, Maastricht University Medical Center, MosaKids Children's Hospital, Maastricht, the Netherlands.
Background: Chronic respiratory diseases are important causes of disability and mortality globally. Their incidence may be higher in remote locations where healthcare is limited and risk factors, such as smoking and indoor air pollution, are more prevalent. E-health could overcome some healthcare access obstacles in remote locations, but its utilisation has been limited.

Breast Surgery Section, Division of GI and Oncologic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is infrequently performed in older women, at least in part owing to concerns regarding age-related complications. We describe postoperative outcomes of NSM in older women and risk factors for complications, with the goal of informing patient selection and decision-making.
Patients And Methods: Cases of NSM with immediate implant-based reconstruction were identified from an institutional database (2009-2019).
Association between composite dietary antioxidant indices and anemia: NHANES 2003-2018.

Background: There is increasing acknowledgment of the potential role that diet rich in antioxidants may play in the prevention of anemia. As a significant indicator of antioxidant-rich diet, the relationship between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and anemia has not been extensively studied. Therefore, this study aims to explore the association between CDAI and anemia.

Introduction: The primary objective of our investigation was to assess the repercussions of prolonged exposure to heavy metals and smoking on the microbiome of the oral buccal mucosa. Concurrently, we aimed to elucidate the intricate interplay between external environmental exposures and the composition of the oral microbial ecosystem, thereby discerning its potential implications for human health.
Methods: Our study cohort was stratified into four distinct groups: MS (characterized by concurrent exposure to heavy metals and smoking), M (exposed solely to heavy metals), S (exposed solely to smoking), and C (comprising individuals serving as a control group).

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to analyze brain iron changes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) to assist with early diagnosis and treatment.
- A total of 34 AIS patients and 30 healthy controls underwent QSM and conventional MRI, revealing significant increases in susceptibility values in specific brain regions (bilateral caudate nucleus and putamen) in AIS patients compared to controls.
- The study found that the highest diagnostic accuracy for distinguishing AIS from healthy individuals was 72.2%, while factors like smoking showed a notable correlation with increased susceptibility values, although overall clinical scores didn't significantly correlate with iron changes.
