Background: This study was a narrative review on prevention of addictive behaviors with an effort to clarify the major concepts of prevention and its dimensions.
Methods: The PsycInfo and MedInfo databases were used to identify prevention. Α total of 65 articles were found 46 of which were included in the review. Τhe data were analyzed using content analysis.
Findings: For a better understanding of the results, it was deemed advisable to categorize them into: (a) the types of major interventions and the theoretical approaches on which they were based, (b) the results of the review articles according to (1) variables and factors concerning the prevention proved important through the review and (2) a number of more general important topics which arose in the prevention of addictive behaviors.
Conclusion: The results highlighted the greater effectiveness of community-based programs, applied primarily in broader contexts but also secondarily in high-risk groups. Τhe results were discussed based on the combination of the emerged factors with each other and prevention experience.

Background: Lately, numerous researches have portrayed stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is predominantly connected with short-term adverse prognosis among individuals who have acute coronary syndrome. Nevertheless, the relation of SHR with prolonged effects and the value of SHR in predicting in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with or lacking chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain unclear. The present study was designed to elucidate the relation of SHR with prolonged prognosis and the value of SHR in predicting the long-term all-cause and cardiovascular death of CAD patients with CKD or non-CKD.

A high-fat diet and physical inactivity are key contributors to obesity, predisposing individuals to various chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, which involve multiple organs and tissues. To better understand the role of multi-organ interaction mechanisms in the rising incidence of obesity and its associated chronic conditions, treatment and prevention strategies are being extensively investigated. This review examines the signaling mechanisms between different tissues and organs, with a particular focus on the crosstalk between adipose tissue and the muscle, brain, liver, and heart, and potentially offers new strategies for the treatment and management of obesity and its complications.

Background: Megakaryocytes are traditionally recognized as cells responsible for platelet production. However, beyond their role in thrombopoiesis, megakaryocytes also participate in inflammatory responses and regulate immune system functions. Sepsis, characterized by life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated response to infection, prominently features coagulopathy, severe inflammation, and immune dysfunction as key pathophysiological aspects.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is widespread, under-recognized, and under-treated, impacting the health and quality of life for millions. The current gold standard for sleep apnea testing is based on the in-lab sleep study, which is costly, cumbersome, not readily available and represents a well-known roadblock to managing this huge societal burden. Assessment of neuromuscular function involved in the upper airway using electromyography (EMG) has shown potential to characterize and diagnose sleep apnea, while the development of transmembranous electromyography (tmEMG), a painless surface probe, has made this opportunity practical and highly feasible.
