Introduction: Van Wyk-Grumbach Syndrome (VWGS) is a rare pediatric endocrinological disorder characterized by hypothyroidism, delayed bone age, enlarged multicystic ovaries, and precocious puberty. It results from prolonged hypothyroidism, affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This report describes a 7-year-old girl presenting with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain, leading to a diagnosis of VWGS with bilateral inguinal hernia and requiring surgical intervention.

Background: Despite the widespread availability of antihypertensive medications, residual cardiovascular risk of hypertension remained high. Limited studies have investigated the link between air pollution, particularly joint exposure to multiple air pollutants, with residual cardiovascular risk of hypertension.
Methods: 1981 hypertensive patients (≥ 18 years) from an ongoing longitudinal cohort in China, were enrolled between 2013 and 2019.

Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent condition worldwide, significantly diminishing quality of life and productivity. Except for the alignment change, muscle activation patterns (MAP) have garnered increasing attention as another crucial factor contributing to KOA.
Objective: This study explores the factors, characteristics, and effects of MAP changes caused by KOA, providing a neuromuscular-based causal analysis for the rehabilitation treatment of KOA.

The high-strength 7xxx Al alloys are frequently used due to their excellent properties. To achieve these properties, heat treatment is crucial. In this study, the influence of La on the microstructure evolution of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys during solution annealing, the first step of heat treatment, was investigated.

Objective: The use of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been suggested to unload the left ventricle while on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for cardiogenic shock (CS), leading to possibly improved in-hospital mortality. However, the predictors of mortality on dual mechanical circulatory support have not yet been evaluated, especially in real-world clinical settings. Therefore, a case-control study was conducted to determine the rate of all-cause mortality associated with VA-ECMO use regardless of left ventricular (LV) unloading, and with early LV unloading in the setting of CS, and to identify the predictors of mortality associated with VA-ECMO, with concurrent early LV unloading.
