Summary: This study found that both neighborhood and school factors may affect students' levels of MVPA, but schools appear to play a more critical role in maintaining and promoting students' MVPA levels. Additionally, individual factors may be more important than school and neighborhood factors in influencing students' MVPA levels. The research suggests that students' attitudes towards PA and school factors should be considered targets for future intervention programs to promote MVPA. More education programs may help enhance students’ attitudes towards PA, but further studies with large samples and objective assessments are needed to explore the determinants of MVPA.

Summary: This study demonstrated that facial rejuvenation with concentrated fat graft can significantly improve the severity of wrinkles in patients and achieve high patient satisfaction postoperatively. The processed adipose tissue contained a significantly higher number of adipose-derived stem cells compared to unprocessed tissue.

Summary: This study reviewed consecutive cases in which robotic bronchoscopy (RB) was used for diagnosing lung lesions at the University of Chicago Medical Center from June 15, 2018, to December 15, 2019. The overall diagnostic accuracy was 77%, with radial endobronchial ultrasound (r-EBUS) views playing a significant role. Rating: 8/10.

Summary: This study investigated the natural history and 12-month changes in a cohort of 117 patients with primary mitochondrial myopathy (PMM), finding variations in functional, fatigue, and pain indicators during the follow-up period, with PEO patients performing better in functional measures compared to PEO&MiMy and MiMy patients.

Summary: This study found that older kidney transplant recipients had a high adherence rate to wearing the activity tracker during the maintenance period, with 96.5% in the intervention group. The intervention group also showed improvements in blood pressure at 12 months. However, there was an overall decrease in average daily steps in both groups, suggesting the need for additional boosters during the maintenance period to encourage physical activity.

Summary: The study showed that ECP is an effective treatment option for primary open-angle glaucoma, with a significant decrease in intraocular pressure and a therapeutic success rate of 61.80%. Patients with longer disease duration or using alpha agonist eye drops had lower success rates, indicating a close relationship between disease duration and therapeutic outcome.

Summary: This research article examines the impact of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on depression and anxiety among patients who have undergone primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The study aims to determine the frequency of depression and anxiety occurrence in post-PCI patients with AMI. The findings support the importance of actively screening and managing psychiatric disorders in AMI patients, as they are at an increased risk of mental health issues.

Summary: The correlation between thickness of peri-implant mucosa (MT) and clinical parameters in bone-level implants was investigated over a 12-month follow-up period. No significant correlation was found at 12 months, but history of periodontitis Grade C and absence of bone regeneration were predictors for deep MT. The depth of MT played a critical role in determining restorative design.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the BMI course trend between different medications and timepoints in order to improve the treatment of anorexia nervosa. The results showed that antidepressants and antipsychotics significantly increased the BMI of patients during treatment. Additionally, medication adherence and selecting appropriate medications are also crucial for treatment outcomes.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the condition of patients with postacute COVID-19 over 12 weeks of follow-up. The findings showed that patients with severe pneumonia had poorer results in laboratory parameters, radiological signs, and pulmonary functional capacity. Patients with persistent dyspnea at 12 weeks also had significant differences in laboratory and physiological indicators compared to those without dyspnea.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the early and midterm outcomes of children with MIS-C, finding that immunomodulatory treatment led to favorable outcomes with normalization of LV function and resolution of coronary abnormalities. Cardiac MRI performed during recovery showed no myocardial inflammation or fibrosis. However, some patients demonstrated persistent diastolic dysfunction during early follow-up, suggesting the need for further research to better understand MIS-C.

Summary: This study aimed to identify and characterize pulmonary sequelae of COVID-19 at 12 months from hospitalization and reveal possible predictors for the persistence of long-term lung consequences. The results showed that a limited number of patients displayed persistent pulmonary sequelae after 12 months from hospital admission, and being a current smoker at the time of SARS-CoV-2 infection is an independent predictive factor to lung consequences.
