As a physician with a passion for human anatomy, I’ve always been intrigued by the intricacies of the human body. Today, we venture into the world of the quadriceps, a powerful group of muscles that is pivotal for movement and strength. Join me in this exploration of the anatomy and clinical relevance of the quadriceps… Continue reading The #Quadriceps: A Physician’s In-Depth Look at a #Muscular Marvel
Association between #sleep hours and changes in #cognitive function according to the morningness-eveningness type: A population-based study
The aim of this study was to investigate proper sleep hours to reduce the risk of cognitive decrease considering morningness-eveningness type.MethodsThe Korean Community Health Survey was used, which includes adults aged over 19 years old. These data were obtained from a cross-sectional study and assessed sleep hours using questionnaire of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Based on the wake-up time… Continue reading Association between #sleep hours and changes in #cognitive function according to the morningness-eveningness type: A population-based study
Associations between Metabolomic Biomarkers of #Avocado Intake and #Glycemia in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
BackgroundAvocado consumption is linked to better glucose homeostasis, but small associations suggest potential population heterogeneity. Metabolomic data capture the effects of food intake after digestion and metabolism, thus accounting for individual differences in these processes.ObjectivesTo identify metabolomic biomarkers of avocado intake and to examine their associations with glycemia.MethodsBaseline data from 6224 multi-ethnic older adults (62% female) included self-reported avocado… Continue reading Associations between Metabolomic Biomarkers of #Avocado Intake and #Glycemia in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

To investigate the association between mobile phone exposure and semen parameters.A nationwide cross-sectional study.SettingAndrology laboratories in close proximity to 6 army recruitment centers.PatientsIn total, 2886 men from the general Swiss population, 18–22 years old, were recruited between 2005 and 2018 during military conscription.InterventionParticipants delivered a semen sample and completed a questionnaire on health and lifestyle,… Continue reading Association between self-reported mobile #phone use and the #semen quality of young men
Polygenic predisposition, #sleep duration, and #depression: evidence from a prospective population-based cohort
Suboptimal sleep durations and depression frequently cooccur. Short-sleep and long-sleep are commonly thought of as symptoms of depression, but a growing literature suggests that they may be prodromal. While each represents a process of mutual influence, the directionality between them remains unclear. Using polygenic scores (PGS), we investigate the prospective direction involved in suboptimal sleep… Continue reading Polygenic predisposition, #sleep duration, and #depression: evidence from a prospective population-based cohort
Dietary #Sodium Intake and Risk of Incident Type 2 #Diabetes
ObjectiveTo fill the knowledge gap of the relation between long-term dietary sodium intake and type 2 diabetes (T2D), we evaluate the association between the frequency of adding salt to foods, a surrogate marker for evaluating the long-term sodium intake, and incident T2D risk.MethodsA total of 402,982 participants from UK Biobank (March 13, 2006 – October… Continue reading Dietary #Sodium Intake and Risk of Incident Type 2 #Diabetes
A quarter of US medical students consider quitting school and most may not treat patients: new survey
Among the next generation of doctors, many are considering quitting medical school even before donning their long white coats. A quarter of all medical students in the United States might quit school. That’s according to a new report from Elsevier Health, which surveyed students to get their perspectives on education, career plans and expectations for… Continue reading A quarter of US medical students consider quitting school and most may not treat patients: new survey
Relationship of Daily #Step Counts to All-Cause #Mortality and #Cardiovascular Events
Background The minimal and optimal daily step counts for health improvements remain unclear. Objectives A meta-analysis was performed to quantify dose-response associations of objectively measured step count metrics in the general population. Methods Electronic databases were searched from inception to October 2022. Primary outcomes included all-cause mortality and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). Study results were… Continue reading Relationship of Daily #Step Counts to All-Cause #Mortality and #Cardiovascular Events
Designing and computational analyzing of chimeric long-lasting #GLP-1 receptor agonists for type 2 #diabetes
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an intestinally derived incretin that plays a vital role in engineering the biological circuit involved in treating type 2 diabetes. Exceedingly short half-life (1–2 min) of GLP-1 limits its therapeutic applicability, and the implication of its new variants is under question. Since albumin-binding DARPin as a mimetic molecule has been reported to… Continue reading Designing and computational analyzing of chimeric long-lasting #GLP-1 receptor agonists for type 2 #diabetes
