Targeting the miR‐224‐5p/PTEN pathway: A previously under‐characterized strategy to attenuate mesangial cell injury and predict prognosis in diabetic nephropathy

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Serum miR‐224‐5p levels are progressively elevated in diabetic nephropathy (DN) and serve as an independent predictor of a decline in eGFR of ≥30% over 2 years. Mechanistically, miR‐224‐5p directly targets PTEN 3’‐UTR, suppressing PTEN and the activation of the AKT pathway in high‐glucose‐stimulated mesangial cells.

Real‐world risk factors and clinical implications of early estimated glomerular filtration rate decline after sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitor therapy

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Older age, atrial fibrillation, loop diuretic use, and higher eGFR variability predicted early eGFR dip. Continued SGLT2 inhibitor therapy preserved long‐term kidney function, although closer monitoring is warranted in patients receiving loop diuretics. ABSTRACT Aim To assess the prevalence, risk factors, estimated glomerular filtration rate trajectory,

Assessing the Diagnostic Performance of Triglyceride–Glucose–Based Indices for Early Detection of Metabolic Syndrome in Paediatric Down Syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Down syndrome (DS) youth have an increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study assessed the diagnostic performance of the triglyceride–glucose index (TyG) and its derivatives—TyG‐BMI, TyG‐waist circumference (WC) and TyG‐waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) in detecting MetS compared with traditional markers.

A Multimodal Machine Learning Model for Framingham Risk Score–Based Cardiovascular Risk Stratification in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Machine learning provides a powerful tool to capture complex, nonlinear patterns in biomedical data and enhance precision risk stratification. In this study, we applied a multilayer perceptron (MLP) framework to classify Framingham Risk Score–based cardiovascular risk categories in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Efficacy of Exercise‐Based Interventions for Metabolic Syndrome: An Umbrella Review With Meta‐Analyses

open access: yesObesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Regular exercise is a first‐line nonpharmacological strategy for managing metabolic syndrome (MetS), but varied exercise modalities and outcomes across studies have led to inconsistent findings that limit clinical guidance. Objective To synthesize up‐to‐date evidence on the efficacy of exercise‐based interventions in improving MetS ...

Impact of Resistance Training on Body Composition, Physical Fitness, and Cardiometabolic Health in Children and Adolescents With Overweight/Obesity: An Umbrella Review With Meta‐Analyses

open access: yesObesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Resistance training (RT) is increasingly recognized as a promising exercise modality for enhancing health and fitness in children and adolescents. However, evidence remains inconsistent in those with overweight/obesity. This umbrella review synthesized evidence from systematic reviews to evaluate RT effects on body composition ...

Established and Emerging Biomarkers to Characterize Persons at Risk for Obesity—Paving the Way for Targeted Clinical Intervention Trials—A Comprehensive Position Paper

open access: yesObesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite all efforts, obesity remains a major health concern worldwide, with continuously increasing rates, affecting approx. 14% of the total world population, being as high as 43% in some countries. As obesity is related to numerous comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and some types of cancer, the consequences ...

Sclerophyllous structural and chemical traits of mite‐induced galls on Crinodendron patagua (Elaeocarpaceae) leaves

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Eriophyid mites reprogram the structural and biochemical traits of sclerophyllous leaves in Crinodendron patagua, promoting the formation of nutrient‐rich and protective gall tissues. Abstract Sclerophyllous plants present a suite of traits, including small, leathery leaves with thick cuticles, dense trichomes and sclerified tissues, which are often ...
