Objective: Exposure to trauma and subsequent posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) increase the risk of poor physical health outcomes. Yet, the nuances of the paths from trauma to poor health are largely theoretical, and research regarding how trauma types relate to specific trauma-related changes to diet and exercise is needed. The present study examined the associations between noninterpersonal and interpersonal trauma and PTSS with several novel dietary and exercise changes (i.

Pre-eclampsia remains a significant health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, contributing substantially to maternal and neonatal mortality rates. This paper explores the potential of low-dose calcium supplementation as an alternative strategy to the conventional high-dose regimen in preventing pre-eclampsia. A consistent association between low serum calcium levels and an increased risk of pre-eclampsia is established based on studies spanning Ghana, Nigeria, and Ethiopia.

Background: Naturally occurring dietary patterns, a major contributor to health, are not well described among those with cardiovascular disease (CVD) - particularly in light of socioeconomic vulnerability. We sought to identify major dietary patterns in the US and their distribution by CVD, social risk factors, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among 32,498 noninstitutionalized adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2009-2020).

Background: The identification of new biomarkers that improve existing cardiovascular risk prediction models for acute coronary syndrome is essential for accurately identifying high-risk patients and refining treatment strategies. Autophagy, a vital cellular degradation mechanism, is important for maintaining cardiac health. Dysregulation of autophagy has been described in cardiovascular conditions such as myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, a key factor in myocardial infarction (MI).

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) represents a progressive degenerative disorder characterized by the gradual erosion of articular cartilage. This study aimed to develop and validate biomarker-based predictive models for KOA diagnosis using machine learning techniques. Clinical data from 2594 samples were obtained and stratified into training and validation datasets in a 7:3 ratio.
