Background: Chronic low-grade inflammation is related to bone metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, credible data indicating the relationship between inflammation and fragility fracture risk in postmenopausal anemic females with T2DM are sparse. The current study sought to investigate the relationships between the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) and fragility fracture events, as well as the future 10-year fragility fracture probability evaluated using the fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) in postmenopausal females with T2DM.

To compare the survival outcomes of patients with stage T2N0M0 esophageal cancer treated with surgery alone versus those treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery. Patients with stage T2N0M0 esophageal cancer, who either underwent surgery alone or received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery, were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database covering the period from 2000 to 2020. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) between the two treatment groups were compared.

Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is generally considered to have a high risk of progression to Alzheimer's disease. Our study aimed to investigate the abnormal functional connectivity (FC) in prefrontal cortex (PFC) in patients with MCI and explore the relationship between the observed changes and cognitive function.

Methods: Sixty-seven patients with MCI and 71 healthy individuals were recruited for this study.

Inverse association between uric acid levels and muscle quality index in adults: a cross-sectional analysis of NHANES 2011-2014.

BMC Public Health

November 2024

Guangxi Key Laboratory of Diabetic Systems Medicine, College of Basic Medical Sciences, Guilin Medical University, Guilin, 541199, China.

Objective: The objective of this study was to delineate the association between serum uric acid (UA) levels and Muscle Quality Index (MQI), assessing muscle strength relative to mass, in adults aged 20 to 59 years.

Methods: Utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014, this study examined the association between UA levels and MQI-a ratio of muscle strength to mass. Weighted linear models, adjusted for potential confounders, assessed the relationship, with a generalized additive model (GAM) probing for non-linear patterns.

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder associated with a range of cardiovascular and metabolic complications. However, the relationship between GERD and blood pressure components, lipid profile, and cardiovascular diseases remains unclear.

Methods: Leveraging genetic variants associated with GERD as instrumental variables, we performed this Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.

D-dimer is a biomarker of coagulation and fibrinolytic system activation in response to the hypercoagulable state of the body. The research aimed to analyze the value of D-dimer in the prognosis of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Patients admitted to our center for the first time with DCM were enrolled consecutively.

Article Synopsis
  • Previous research has largely focused on specific physical activities and has not adequately explored their impacts on hypertension (HTN) and mortality, particularly in older adults.
  • A study using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data analyzed over 11,000 seniors with HTN, finding that those who were physically active experienced fewer co-morbidities and lower blood pressure levels compared to inactive individuals.
  • The research revealed that inactive seniors had a significantly higher risk of death from all causes and heart disease, even after considering factors like age and sex, highlighting the crucial role of physical activity in improving health outcomes for older adults with HTN.

Gait and Motion Analysis Laboratory, Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the metabolic responses and perceived effort of young healthy adults engaged in Aquatic High-Intensity Interval Training (AHIIT) versus resistive AHIIT in a single session.
  • Results showed significant changes in resting energy expenditure and perceived exertion in the resistive AHIIT group, but no notable differences in heart rate or oxygen consumption between the two training methods.
  • The conclusion suggests that both AHIIT and resistive AHIIT yield similar metabolic benefits, allowing for tailored training prescriptions.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate potential causal relationships between circulating metabolites and breast cancer risk using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Materials And Methods: Summary-level genome-wide association study (GWAS) datasets for 249 circulating metabolites were obtained from the UK Biobank. GWAS datasets for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and estrogen receptor-negative (ER-) breast cancer were acquired from previous studies based on the Combined Oncoarray.

Objective: To investigate the effect of locking plate internal fixation for the treatment of proximal lateral femoral wall fracture.

Methods: From January 2021 to June 2022, 31 patients with intertrochanteric fractures and lateral wall fractures were treated. Among them, 15 patients were treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) fixation including 3 males and 12 females with an average age of (75.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MIR)-induced arrhythmia remains a major cause of death in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The reduction of Cx43 has been known as a major inducer of arrhythmias after MIR, but the reason for the reduction of Cx43 remains largely unknown. The aim of this study was to find the key mechanism underlying the reduction of Cx43 after MIR and to screen out an herbal extract to attenuate arrhythmia after MIR.

Objectives: Relatively few studies have investigated the effects of rehabilitation-based physical activity therapy as a treatment for older patients with advanced cancer. This study evaluated the effects of individualized precise and structured exercise interventions, prescribed by a rehabilitation physician, on fatigue, quality of life (QOL), and physical activity in older patients with advanced cancer.

Methods: After admission to the rehabilitation department, older cancer patients were divided into groups receiving conventional symptomatic supportive therapy (SST) or physical activity therapy plus conventional symptomatic supportive therapy (PAT).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated the effects of combining rehabilitation techniques with rivastigmine treatment on motor and cognitive functions in patients with Parkinson's disease, focusing on gait performance.
  • - Fifteen patients participated in a three-week program that included various therapies and gait assessments, revealing significant improvements in walking metrics and a decrease in fall risk, while cognitive function showed a positive trend.
  • - The findings suggest that multimodal exercise interventions alongside rivastigmine can enhance balance and certain gait parameters, highlighting potential benefits for managing symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Iron is important for health, and it seems to be linked to a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) that affects some women.
  • Researchers looked at various studies to see if a substance called hepcidin, which helps control iron, is different in women with PCOS compared to those who are healthy.
  • They found that women with PCOS generally had lower levels of hepcidin, which might help doctors understand and diagnose PCOS better in the future.

Background: The Oxidative Balance Score (OBS), which quantifies the balance between antioxidants and pro-oxidants influenced by diet and lifestyle, is crucial given oxidative stress's significant role in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). This study aims to determine the association between OBS and CKD using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018.

Methods: We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 1999 to 2018.
