Pediatricians are typically the first people families trust to discuss their child's mental health concerns and are uniquely positioned to help address the problem of limited access to mental health services. This article covers brief behavioral interventions pediatricians can use to help treat mild depressive symptoms in the primary care context. Interventions include strategies for talking about depression (eg, validating experiences, normalizing difficulties, and emphasizing whole-body health), educating patients and their families (eg, psychoeducation about signs, symptoms, and treatment options), using brief behavioral and cognitive interventions (eg, behavioral activation and cognitive coping), and including a family and culturally sensitive approach to symptom management. .

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) remains to be the curative therapy option for fit patients with high-risk disease. Especially patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) AML continue to have poor outcomes.

Sex- and endurance training-mediated cardiovascular protection through lipids during exercise.

Trends Endocrinol Metab

December 2024

Department of Medicine, Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolism, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA; Tennessee Valley Health System, Veterans Affairs, Nashville, TN, USA. Electronic address:

Premenopausal women and endurance-trained individuals of either sex have reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Endurance training shifts fuel selection towards fats to spare carbohydrates; interestingly, women prioritize fats as an energy resource more than men do during exercise. Relying on fats during exercise drives whole-body lipolysis and promotes lipid uptake and oxidation capacity in skeletal muscles.

Subphenotypes of body composition and their association with cardiometabolic risk - Magnetic resonance imaging in a population-based sample.

Metabolism

Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany; Institute of Epidemiology, Helmholtz Munich, Neuherberg, Germany. Electronic address:

Background: For characterizing health states, fat distribution is more informative than overall body size. We used population-based whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify distinct body composition subphenotypes and characterize associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.

Methods: Bone marrow, visceral, subcutaneous, cardiac, renal, hepatic, skeletal muscle and pancreatic adipose tissue were measured by MRI in n = 299 individuals from the population-based KORA cohort.

Neurological diseases are central nervous system (CNS) disorders affecting the whole body. Early diagnosis of the diseases is difficult due to the lack of disease-specific tests. Adding new biomarkers external to the CNS facilitates the diagnosis of neurological diseases.
