Health behaviors, waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio in children [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2011
Waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) begin to gain attention as measures of adiposity and as important cardiometabolic disease risk factors also among children. Still, little research has been done on behavioral determinants of WC and WHtR in children.

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

Genetic Risk and High Burden of Depression and Suicide in the Maya‐Mestizo Population of Yucatán, México

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Major depression and suicide are critical public health concerns, particularly in underrepresented populations with unique genetic and sociocultural contexts. The Maya‐mestizo population presents the highest suicide rates in the country but remains understudied in psychiatric genetics. This study evaluated the association between three genetic

Diabetes and the Metabolic Syndrome as Drivers of Neurodegeneration: Convergent Mechanisms Linking Peripheral Neuropathy and Dementia

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
The metabolic syndrome, a state of progressive metabolic dysfunction, injures the peripheral and central nervous systems, promoting peripheral neuropathy (PN) and cognitive impairment (CI), respectively. We posit PN and CI are connected in the metabolic syndrome framework, built on the premise that neurons, whether in the peripheral or central nervous ...

Ixekizumab With Tirzepatide Achieved Greater Disease Control Than Ixekizumab Alone in Adults With Psoriatic Arthritis and Overweight or Obesity: Results From a Randomized Clinical Trial

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Overweight or obesity is prevalent in 72% to 82% of individuals with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). We assessed the efficacy and safety of ixekizumab (IXE) concomitantly administered with tirzepatide (TZP) compared with IXE alone in adult participants with active PsA and overweight with at least one weight‐related comorbidity or obesity.

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.
