Introduction: Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with considerable morbidity and premature mortality, mainly due to somatic causes. This study aims to determine some physical, exercise capacity-related physiological variables and biochemical markers of health status in adults (45.4 ± 13.1 years) with BD (n = 65) compared to a healthy control (HC) population (n = 29) sample and to estimate cardiovascular risk (CVR) through different methods in the BD group.
Methods: Multiple assessments included body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and biochemical parameters. CVR was calculated using the Framingham Heart Study, SCORE2, and relative risk methods.
Results: The BD population, compared to the HC, showed unfavorable body composition (waist-to-hip ratio, 0.9 ± 0.1 vs. 0.8 ± 0.1; fat body mass, 33.3 ± 10.2 vs. 24.3 ± 8.9%, p ≤ 0.001), CRF (peak oxygen uptake, 25.2 ± 8.2 vs. 33.4 ± 8.7 mL kg min; and cardiorespiratory optimal point, 27.9 ± 4.2 vs. 23.6 ± 4.2 ventilation/oxygen uptake ratio, p ≤ 0.05), biochemical concentrations of atherogenic indexes (total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, 4.1 ± 1.5 vs. 3.3 ± 1.0; and triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, 2.8 ± 2.3 vs. 1.5 ± 1.0, p ≤ 0.05), and inflammatory C-reactive protein (3.8 ± 10.2 vs. 0.9 ± 1.05 mg/dL, p ≤ 0.05). Consequently, CVR showed higher values (p ≤ 0.05) in BD (high risk, 3.1%) compared to HC (low-to-moderate risk, 2.2%) participants, according to SCORE2, higher (p ≤ 0.05) vascular age (49.8 years) than chronological age (45.8 years), with a significant difference (p = 0.005) compared to HC.
Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of specific physical, biochemical, and physiological screening and CVR and vascular age assessment for people with BD. The practical application of these findings would prevent cardiovascular disease in BD and promote a healthier lifestyle as an adjuvant strategy to pharmacological intervention.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) affects up to one in five people in the UK, with persistent overeating and a sedentary lifestyle being significant risk factors. Exploring dietary patterns at a food level is a novel approach to understand associations between diet and disease.
Methods: This cross-sectional case-control study included 168 MASLD patients and 34 healthy controls from Nottingham (UK).

Objective: To assess the incidence, outcomes, and predictors of type III endoleaks (TIIIELs) in patients treated with different generations of Endologix unibody devices for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
Methods: Patients treated with unibody endografts between 1999 and 2020 in a single unit were prospectively enrolled, retrospectively analyzed, and stratified according to device generation. The primary outcome was the incidence of TIIIEL in patients treated with unibody devices.

Background: Chronic inflammation is involved in the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). A tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) within vascular lesions has recently been focused on for its role in modulation of inflammation in local tissues. We aimed to elucidate the relationships between TLS and pathophysiology of AAA.

Background Prognostic value of radiologic features in interstitial lung disease (ILD) has been predominantly studied in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, but findings vary. The relative importance of features versus guideline-defined patterns in predicting outcomes is unknown. Purpose To identify radiologic features that are independently associated with transplant-free survival beyond clinical predictive factors across all ILD subtypes, and to identify whether individual features versus patterns are more important for prognostication.
