Self-reported physical activity is associated with lower brain food cue responsiveness in reward-related regions, but relationships utilizing objective physical activity measurement tools have not been explored. This cross-sectional study examined whether device-measured moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity and sedentary time are related to neural responses to visual food cues using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Fifty-one healthy adults (30 men, 21 women; mean ± SD: age 26 ± 6 years; body mass index 24.

Background: The use of epidural analgesia has been proposed to improve the prognosis of esophageal cancer by attenuating the stress response and being less immunosuppressive than opioids. This study aims to evaluate the association, if any, between non-epidural pain management compared to epidural analgesia during minimally invasive or open esophagectomy and esophageal cancer prognosis.

Materials And Methods: This was a population-based nationwide retrospective cohort study in Finland, using the Finnish National Esophago-Gastric Cancer Cohort (FINEGO).

Background: Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a bilateral, chronic, allergic inflammation of the ocular surface with debilitating ocular signs and symptoms. We compared the efficacies and safeties of 1% tacrolimus eye drops and 1% dexamethasone eye drops in managing unilateral shield ulcers and corneal epitheliopathy secondary to VKC.

Methods: We recruited patients with unilateral shield ulcer and corneal epitheliopathy secondary to VKC in a tertiary referral center in southeast Iran during a 12-month period.

Background: Whether people experiencing homelessness (PEH) have different COVID-19 outcomes than housed patients in Canada remains unclear. We sought to ascertain whether rates of in-hospital mortality, hospital admission, critical care admission, and mechanical ventilation differed between PEH and housed people with symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Methods: We conducted a propensity score-matched cohort study to compare the outcomes of PEH and housed patients presenting to emergency departments for acute symptomatic COVID-19.
