Gender-specific non-linear relationship between BMI and estimated pulse wave velocity in Brazilian adults: a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data

Abstract Objective Arterial stiffness, commonly assessed through pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an important predictor of cardiovascular events. While body mass index (BMI) has been associated with arterial stiffness, the shape of this relationship and potential gender differences...

Construction and validation of a predictive model for postoperative pneumonia in elderly patients with hip fractures

To identify independent risk factors for postoperative pneumonia (POP) in elderly patients with hip fractures and to develop a nomogram for predicting its occurrence, we conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study of elderly patients (≥ 60 years) who underwent hip fracture...

Pan-retinal pathology detection in oct scans integrating natural language synthesis with diagnostic annotation

Abstract While OCT is pivotal for macular disease diagnosis, its adoption in primary care is limited by AI systems that cannot simultaneously analyze multi-sectional scans across the full spectrum of maculopathies or generate diagnostically integrated reports. Here we present iOC...

Assessment of masticatory muscle activity and mandibular border movement in skeletal class II malocclusion adolescents with mandibular retrognathia

<title>Abstract</title> Objective To investigate masticatory muscle activity and mandibular border movement in adolescents with skeletal class II malocclusion and mandibular retrognathia and explore the influence of mandibular retrognathia on masticatory system function. Methods...

Tibial cortex transverse transport accelerates diabetic wound healing via systemic mobilization of non-classical monocytes

Aims: To clarify the immunomodulatory mechanisms by which tibial cortex transverse transport (TTT) accelerates wound healing in a type 2 diabetic rat model, with particular focus on the dynamics of subsets of monocytes and macrophages. Methods: A total of 186 male Sprague-Dawley...

Isolated Myeloid Sarcoma of the Thoracic Spine as Initial Presentation of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia: A Case Report and Literature Review

Introduction: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia, typically presents with severe bleeding. However, the occurrence of APL with isolated myeloid sarcoma (MS) as the sole initial presentation is extremely rare, lacking typical clinical and labor...

Insomnia severity predicts suicide attempts in youth with depression in China: a 6-month prospective cohort study

Evidence linking insomnia to suicidal risk in depressed youth is largely cross-sectional, limiting inference about temporal direction. We examined whether baseline insomnia severity predicts subsequent suicide attempts in this population. We conducted a 6-month prospective cohort...

Measured resting energy expenditure via indirect calorimetry of critically ill patients: A comparison with predictive equations.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Assessing the resting energy expenditure (REE) of critically ill patients is essential for individual nutritional programs. We hypothesized that different evaluated ways for REE can be compared, and REE may be associated with disease severity and clinic...

Unraveling the hormonal causality in postpartum depression: findings from a two-sample Mendelian randomization study

OBJECTIVES: Postpartum depression (PPD) profoundly affects maternal health and disrupts mother-infant bonding, with lasting effects on infant development. The causal roles of hormones that change most dramatically during the perinatal period, including estradiol, cortisol, and pr...
