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
#Dog owners’ #job #stress crosses over to their pet dogs via work-related #rumination
Job stress can have well-being consequences for the employee’s loved ones through crossover: the transference of work-related stress from an employee to their family members. Pet dogs—who most Americans view as family members—may also be susceptible to crossover. Given prior support for dogs’ abilities to perceive and absorb a human’s emotions via emotional contagion, we… Continue reading #Dog owners’ #job #stress crosses over to their pet dogs via work-related #rumination
“Being away from everything”: Exploring the importance of access to #nature for individuals living with chronic low #back #pain
Highlights• Accessing nature spaces is important in the self-management of chronic low back pain.• Accessibility is undermined by disability, environmental obstacles or hazards, or proximity.• This represents an unmet clinical need which could be explored through virtual reality therapy. AbstractChronic low back pain is a persistent and debilitating condition, and therapeutic outcomes in the long… Continue reading “Being away from everything”: Exploring the importance of access to #nature for individuals living with chronic low #back #pain

#Echoes in the night: How #sleep quality influences #auditory health
Sleep disorders may lead to hearing loss.• Complex relationship between sleep quality, auditory sense and mental health.• Oxidative stress and immune response may be potential mechanisms.• Current treatment strategies are limited and separate. AbstractThe intricate relationship between sleep disorders and hearing loss emerges as a burgeoning field of scholarly inquiry. Numerous studies have illuminated a… Continue reading #Echoes in the night: How #sleep quality influences #auditory health
A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis on the efficacy and potential of #mobile interventions for #stress management
The increasing prevalence of stress underscores the demand for effective, self-administered mobile mental health interventions, yet their efficacy and accessibility are still unclear. Here, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to classify self-administered mobile stress management interventions, compare their efficacy and examine their moderators. We searched PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus… Continue reading A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis on the efficacy and potential of #mobile interventions for #stress management
Dietary #Sugar Intake and Incident Type 2 #Diabetes Risk: A Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies
The dose-response relationship between dietary sugar and type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk is uncertain. MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science and Cochrane databases were searched through July 9, 2024 for prospective cohort studies reporting relative measures of incident T2D risk by categories of dietary sugar (total, free, added, fructose, sucrose) or 2 beverage sources (non-diet… Continue reading Dietary #Sugar Intake and Incident Type 2 #Diabetes Risk: A Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies
Low-Calorie, High-Protein Ketogenic #Diet Versus Low-Calorie, Low-Sodium, and High-Potassium Mediterranean Diet in Overweight Patients and Patients with #Obesity with High-Normal Blood Pressure or Grade I #Hypertension: The Keto–Salt Pilot Study
Background and Objective: Dietary interventions are the first-line treatment for overweight individuals (OW) and individuals with obesity (OB) with high-normal blood pressure (BP) or grade I hypertension, especially when at low-to-moderate cardiovascular risk (CVR). However, current guidelines do not specify the most effective dietary approach for optimising cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes in this population. This… Continue reading Low-Calorie, High-Protein Ketogenic #Diet Versus Low-Calorie, Low-Sodium, and High-Potassium Mediterranean Diet in Overweight Patients and Patients with #Obesity with High-Normal Blood Pressure or Grade I #Hypertension: The Keto–Salt Pilot Study
