Background/aims: There is growing interest in whether eradication (HPE) can affect body weight.
Methods: Data from 5 universities between January 2013 and December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. -positive subjects who had body weight measurements taken at least twice at intervals of 3 months or longer were included. Using propensity score (PS)-matched data, changes in body mass index (BMI) and the lipid profile after HPE were compared with the non-HPE group.
Results: Among 363 eligible patients, 131 HPE patients were PS-matched to 131 non-HPE patients. The median intervals between the measurements were 610 (range, 154-1250) days and 606 (range, 154-1648) days in the HPE and non-HPE groups, respectively. In both groups, the mean BMI increased (from 24.5 kg/m to 24.7 kg/m in the HPE group, and from 24.4 kg/m to 24.5 kg/m in the non-HPE group). The 2 groups did not show significantly different changes ( = 0.921). In the lowest baseline BMI quartile, the BMI increased after HPE by 1.23 (standard deviation [SD], 3.72) kg/m ( = 0.060), and the non-HPE group showed a decreased BMI at the time of follow-up (by -0.24 [SD, 5.25] kg/m; = 0.937) (between-group = 0.214). Triglyceride levels increased after HPE (mean: 135 [SD, 78] to 153 [SD, 100] mg/dL; between-group = 0.053).
Conclusion: The overall BMI change was not significantly different between the HPE and non-HPE groups, but patients with low BMI showed a tendency to gain weight after HPE. Triglyceride levels increased after HPE with marginal significance.

Application of the Sydney System for Classification and Reporting Lymph Node Cytopathology to Assess the Risk of Malignancy and its Diagnostic Accuracy.

Background: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the lymph nodes is the first-line evaluation of lymphadenopathy of unknown etiology. For better diagnostic clarity and proper communication to clinicians, the Sydney System was proposed in 2020 for the performance, classification, and reporting of lymph node cytopathology. The present study was conducted to analyze the diagnostic performance and risk of malignancy (ROM) associated with each of the diagnostic categories of the proposed Sydney System.

Background: Sociocultural competence is essential for health professions education (HPE) students. However, the relationships between university campus environment, sense of belonging, and sociocultural engagement of HPE students remain unclear. We hypothesized that a university environment promoting students' participation in social activities enhances their sociocultural engagement, which is mediated through the students' sense of belonging, ultimately increasing their satisfaction with university experience.

Oxygenator high-pressure (HPE) is a phenomenon that can occur during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in which the oxygenator inlet pressure increases rapidly, thereby limiting flow. Most perfusionists globally do not use inlet oxygenator pressure monitoring and therefore HPE is not often recognized. HPE may occur for various reasons, and it is not fully understood.

Background: Hospital presumptive eligibility (HPE) emergency Medicaid programs offset patient bills at hospitalization and can provide long-term Medicaid coverage. We characterized postdischarge outpatient health care utilization among HPE Medicaid trauma patients and identified patient access facilitators and barriers once newly insured. We hypothesized utilization would be increased among HPE trauma patients compared with other HPE patients, but that challenges in access to care would remain.

In recent years, significant research has been conducted on video-based human pose estimation (HPE). While monocular two-dimensional (2D) HPE has been shown to achieve high performance, monocular three-dimensional (3D) HPE poses a more challenging problem. However, since human motion happens in a 3D space, 3D HPE offers a more accurate representation of the human, granting increased usability for complex tasks like analysis of physical exercise.
