AI Article Synopsis
- The study explored the impact of combining resistance-endurance training with melatonin (MEL) on oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular damage in hemodialysis (HD) patients.
- Thirty-two HD patients were divided into three groups: one received MEL along with exercise, another received a placebo with exercise, and the third was a control group with a placebo.
- Results indicated that the exercise group receiving MEL had reduced oxidative stress and inflammation markers, demonstrating that this combination is more beneficial than exercise alone for improving health in HD patients.
Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of intradialytic concurrent (resistance-endurance) training combined with melatonin (MEL) supplementation on oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular damage in hemodialysis (HD) patients.
Methods: Thirty-two HD patients were randomly assigned to three groups: Exercise (EX)-MEL, EX-Placebo (PLA), and Control (C)-PLA. Participants in the EX-MEL and EX-PLA groups underwent 12 weeks of concurrent training. Before nocturnal sleep, they ingested either 3 mg of MEL (EX-MEL) or a placebo (EX-PLA and C-PLA). Blood samples were collected at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention to assess lipid peroxidation [malondialdehyde (MDA)], antioxidant biomarkers [ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), reduced glutathione (GSH), total thiol (THIOL)], total bilirubin (TBIL), uric acid (UA), biomarkers of muscle and liver damage [aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), alanine aminotransferase (ALAT), creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and Gamma-glutamyltransferase (Gamma-GT)], and inflammation [C-reactive protein (CRP)].
Results: EX-MEL demonstrated a decrease in MDA ( < 0.05) and CRP ( < 0.05), and an increase in FRAP ( < 0.05) pre- and post-training. Both EX-MEL and EX-PLA showed an increase in GSH ( < 0.001, and < 0.05, respectively) and THIOL ( < 0.01, and < 0.05, respectively) pre- and post-training. No significant changes were observed in TBIL, UA, ASAT, ALAT, CK, LDH, or Gamma-GT pre- and post-training across all groups.
Conclusion: Concurrent training combined with MEL supplementation enhances oxidant-antioxidant balance and reduces inflammation in HD patients more effectively than intradialytic concurrent training alone.

Factors influencing concurrent wasting, stunting, and underweight among children under five who suffered from severe acute malnutrition in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review.
Front Nutr

School of Public Health, Adama Hospital Medical College, Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia.
Background: Wasting, stunting, and underweight in children are complex health challenges shaped by a combination of immediate, underlying, and systemic factors. Even though copious data demonstrates that the causation routes for stunting and wasting are similar, little is known about the correlations between the diseases in low- and middle-income nations.
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the factors that concurrently affect wasting, stunting, and underweight in <5-year-olds with severe acute malnutrition (SAM).

Objectives To determine if direct-to-consumer (DTC) laboratory testing is less expensive for patients, as is generally advertised, and whether it has any role in managing uninsured or underinsured patients. Methods The costs of six commonly ordered laboratory tests were obtained through two major DTC laboratories and compared with 42 physician-ordered, hospital-based laboratories in Florida. The costs of DTC tests were also compared to concurrent reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid.

Introduction: Excessive social media use, though considered unhealthy, is no longer formally categorized as an addiction or disorder, leading to a lack of consensus on this behavior. It raises concerns regarding the exclusion of Internet Addiction Disorder from the DSM-5-TR due to insufficient empirical evidence. This study investigates the serial mediating effects of positive and negative affect, fear of missing out, and offline and online self-presentation in the relationship between social media use and social media addiction.

Introduction: There is a paucity of information regarding providers' attitudes toward gastric-protective strategies with concurrent use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). We aimed to assess gastric-protective strategies used upon prescribing NSAIDs and providers' awareness of societal guidelines for preventing NSAID-induced gastric complications.

Introduction: Graduate medical education is being reformed in many countries, with a focus on the principles of competency-based medical education (CBME). A main novel aspect in this context is the implementation of entrustable professional activities (EPAs). The introduction of EPAs aims to better align training curricula with clinical practice, provide individualized supervision, and enhance the quality of feedback.
