Objectives: Hypertension can lead to significant health complications if left unmanaged due to unhealthy behaviors. This study investigates hypertension related health behaviors of middle-aged and older Chinese adults, investigating whether a hypertension diagnosis and individuals' subjective life expectancy (SLE) might prompt positive changes in their health behaviors.
Methods: The participants in this study were Chinese adults aged 45 years and older, selected from the 2013-2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.

Background: As a clinical precursor to Alzheimer's disease (AD), amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) bears a considerably heightened risk of transitioning to AD compared to cognitively normal elders. Early prediction of whether aMCI will progress to AD is of paramount importance, as it can provide pivotal guidance for subsequent clinical interventions in an early and effective manner.
Methods: A total of 107 aMCI cases were enrolled and their electroencephalogram (EEG) data were collected at the time of the initial diagnosis.

Background And Purpose: Observational studies have indicated a high occurrence of coexistence between myasthenia gravis (MG) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in clinical settings, but the causal relationship between the two conditions remains ambiguous. Therefore, this study endeavors to investigate the causal links between MG, along with its subgroups, and AITD through a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.
Methods: Genetic instrumental variables associated with MG and AITD were selected from three major publicly available GWAS databases for MR analysis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease marked by systemic inflammation. While RA primarily affects the joints, its systemic effects may lead to an increased cerebro- and cardiovascular risk. Atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries is a significant risk factor for cerebrovascular events and serves as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular risk.

The management of multiple intracranial aneurysms presents significant clinical challenges, particularly when complicated by underlying conditions such as cerebral atherosclerosis. This case report highlights the successful treatment of a 66-year-old female diagnosed with three intracranial aneurysms located in the right middle cerebral artery (MCA), pericallosal artery, and M2 segment. The patient also had a history of systemic atherosclerosis and right-sided breast cancer, factors that increased the complexity of surgical intervention.
