Therapeutic options for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are highly risk stratified, with more toxic treatments reserved for patients at higher risk and more supportive approaches favored for those with lower-risk disease. The hypomethylating agents azacitidine (AZA) and decitabine (DEC) are recommended as first-line therapy for higher-risk MDS; for lower-risk disease, the focus is primarily on treating symptomatic anemia with hematopoietic growth factors, luspatercept, or lenalidomide.

Purpose: Sarcopenia is an age-related disease that is related to nutritional intake and chronic low-grade inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of dietary intake, inflammatory markers and sarcopenia among the community-dwelling older adults.
Methods: A total of 1001 older adults aged 60 and above were recruited.

The effectiveness of bariatric surgery in reducing remnant cholesterol (RC) levels, particularly when obesity is accompanied by elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), is insufficiently investigated. In this study, we aimed to examine the impacts of two common bariatric procedures, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG), as regards their effects on RC and HbA1c levels. Adult morbidly obese subjects were included and assigned to receive either RYGB or SG.

Background/objectives: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is life-threatening and difficult to diagnose in time. Unlike many cardiovascular diseases, the association between lifestyle factors such as diet, alcohol consumption, and physical activity and AMI is unknown.
Methods: This study is a prospective cohort study with 28,098 middle-aged participants with a mean follow-up time of 23.

Background: Preclinical data have shown that low levels of metabolites with anti-inflammatory properties may impact metabolic disease processes. However, the association between mid-life levels of such metabolites and long-term ASCVD risk is not known.
Methods: We characterised the plasma metabolomic profile (1228 metabolites) of 1852 participants (58.
