Importance Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent and costly condition, and regular physical activity may reduce its risk. Walking is a common and accessible form of physical activity, but its association with the risk of chronic LBP is unclear.Objective To examine whether accelerometer-derived daily walking volume and walking intensity are associated with the… Continue reading Volume and Intensity of #Walking and Risk of Chronic Low #Back #Pain

Social #anxiety disorder-associated gut #microbiota increases #social #fear
Understanding the biological basis of social anxiety disorder (SAD), one of the most disabling of the anxiety disorders, will allow for novel treatment strategies to be developed. Here, we show that gut microbiota may be such a target. Mice that received SAD patient microbiota had a specific heightened sensitivity to social fear without affecting other… Continue reading Social #anxiety disorder-associated gut #microbiota increases #social #fear
Contribution of Modifiable Midlife and Late-Life #Vascular Risk Factors to Incident #Dementia
Importance Midlife vascular risk factors are associated with an elevated risk of dementia. However, the total contribution of vascular risk factors in midlife and late life with incident dementia is uncertain.Objective To quantify the proportion of incident dementia attributable to modifiable vascular risk factors measured in midlife and late life and to examine differences by… Continue reading Contribution of Modifiable Midlife and Late-Life #Vascular Risk Factors to Incident #Dementia
Short-Term Cardiometabolic Response to #Mango Intake in Post #menopausal #Women
Consumption of mangos has been associated with improved diet quality, with reported reductions in systolic blood pressure and inflammatory biomarkers when consumed daily in robust amounts for six to eight weeks. Whether these changes could occur with a shorter intake period is unknown.MethodsThis study explored the effect of two weeks of mango intake (330 g/d) on… Continue reading Short-Term Cardiometabolic Response to #Mango Intake in Post #menopausal #Women
Efficiency and Quality of Generative #AI–Assisted #Radiograph Reporting
Question Is clinical use of artificial intelligence (AI)–generated draft radiograph reports associated with documentation efficiency, clinical accuracy, textual quality, and ability to promptly detect pneumothorax requiring intervention?Findings In this cohort study, in 11 980 model-assisted radiograph interpretations in live clinical care, model use was associated with a 15.5% documentation efficiency improvement, with no change in radiologist-evaluated… Continue reading Efficiency and Quality of Generative #AI–Assisted #Radiograph Reporting
Structured #Exercise after Adjuvant Chemotherapy for #Colon #Cancer
Preclinical and observational studies suggest that exercise may improve cancer outcomes. However, definitive level 1 evidence is lacking.MethodsIn this phase 3, randomized trial conducted at 55 centers, we assigned patients with resected colon cancer who had completed adjuvant chemotherapy to participate in a structured exercise program (exercise group) or to receive health-education materials alone (health-education… Continue reading Structured #Exercise after Adjuvant Chemotherapy for #Colon #Cancer
Does #oral #hygiene prevents nosocomial #infections in hospitalized patients? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of oral hygiene (OH) with chlorhexidine (CHX) on the evolution of nosocomial infections (NI).Material and methods: Electronic searches were carried out in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, VHL, and Grey Literature databases. Randomized clinical trials were included. Methodological quality and risk of bias were assessed… Continue reading Does #oral #hygiene prevents nosocomial #infections in hospitalized patients?

Anti- #Obesity Effects of a #Collagen with Low Digestibility and High Swelling Capacity: A Human Randomized Control Trial
Background/Objectives: Collagen is a protein formed by very long amino acid chains. When conveniently treated, it can incorporate water into the net, thus increasing its volume and mass. The present work aimed to evaluate the potential anti-obesity effects of bovine collagen that has been technologically treated to increase its water retention capacity in an acid… Continue reading Anti- #Obesity Effects of a #Collagen with Low Digestibility and High Swelling Capacity: A Human Randomized Control Trial
#Sedentary Behavior and #Cardiac Events and Mortality After Hospitalization for Acute #Coronary Syndrome Symptoms: A Prospective Study
Patients hospitalized with symptoms of acute coronary syndrome remain at high risk for adverse events postdischarge, highlighting a need for modifiable therapeutic targets. The role of sedentary behavior in this risk and the potential benefits of replacing sedentary time with other activities remain unclear. This study examined the association between sedentary behavior and 1-year cardiac… Continue reading #Sedentary Behavior and #Cardiac Events and Mortality After Hospitalization for Acute #Coronary Syndrome Symptoms: A Prospective Study
