Summary: This study aimed to demonstrate the effect of daily exercise on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A retrospective study was conducted on 9,636 patients with ACS, and a nomogram was constructed using LASSO regression and COX regression. The results showed that daily exercise can improve the prognosis of ACS patients.

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine if the combination of exercise plus education is more effective for the prevention of non-specific back pain than usual medical care. The meta-analysis of 4 randomized controlled trials showed statistically significant differences in pain intensity and disability, indicating that interventions combining exercise and education have a greater preventive effect on non-specific back pain than usual medical care.

Summary: Extending disability-free life expectancy is crucial for optimizing active aging and reducing healthcare costs. Pragmatic and personalized prevention strategies, such as exercise interventions and nutrition support, are effective in preventing frailty and improving quality of life. Implementing multimodal programs in real-life settings requires tailored interventions and refined behavioral strategies.

Summary: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a severe complication in liver cirrhosis patients with high mortality. Identifying and treating the triggers of decompensation and ACLF, managing organ failures, and considering liver transplantation (LT) are crucial. However, there is no specific treatment for ACLF, and LT is often limited by contraindications. Bridging strategies and new therapeutic approaches are being explored. This review focuses on current management and potential future treatment options for ACLF.

Summary: Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common type of primary liver malignancy, with surgical resection being the preferred treatment for eligible patients. Interventional treatment has become an acceptable palliative option for unresectable CCA, providing locoregional control, symptom relief, and improved quality of life.

Summary: Maximal values of aerobic power and peripheral oxygen saturation decline with increasing altitude. Previous studies have mainly focused on the acute effects at high altitude and have paid less attention to the effects of acclimatization on healthy and diseased individuals. This review found a close association between individual peripheral oxygen saturation and aerobic power, and similar altitude effects in healthy people and those with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, patients with ventilatory constrains, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, show a sharp decline in peripheral oxygen saturation and aerobic power, which reduces their ability to acclimatize and perform exercise.

Summary: Lung cancer is a major threat to global health, with increasing incidence and mortality rates. Exercise has been found to have potential roles in both prevention and treatment of lung cancer. However, the exact mechanisms of exercise's effects on lung cancer treatment are not clear, limiting its use in clinical practice. This review aims to explore the mechanisms through which exercise exerts its anticancer effects against lung cancer, focusing on aspects such as the tumor microenvironment, matrix regulation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. Future research directions and potential clinical applications will also be discussed.

Summary: This registry study investigated the initiation of dabigatran in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA). The results showed that early initiation of dabigatran was associated with a lower risk of major hemorrhages compared to vitamin K antagonists (VKA). However, caution is needed when interpreting these results due to the low precision of the estimate.

Summary: In former NFL players, self-reported sport-related concussion (SRC) history is associated with current health-promoting behaviors and self-reported measures of brain health. The study found that SRC history is linked to poorer cognitive function, symptoms of depression and anxiety, and emotional-behavioral dyscontrol, while exercise frequency and diet quality are associated with better functioning, and sleeping less than 6 hours per night is related to worse mental health outcomes.

The review identified 65 articles, including specific guidelines during COVID-19 and guidelines for individuals with long-term conditions. The accessibility and applicability of these guidelines varied across academic databases and long-term condition organizations' websites. The findings have implications for the development of policy and guidelines to support physically active lifestyles among individuals with long-term conditions.

Summary: This study describes the role of dietary practices and physical activity in the interaction of social determinants of non-communicable diseases in Nepal. It highlights the influences of junk food, the healthcare system, and socio-economic factors. The study reveals that current dietary and physical activity practices in communities are unhealthy, and socio-economic circumstances and gender exacerbate these practices. The healthcare system has the potential to play a more effective role in preventing behavioral and social determinants of non-communicable diseases.

The results showed that the software achieved excellent or good delineation of ICH extent in 71% of cases. However, it was more likely to over- or under-estimate the extent when ICH was more extensive, intraventricular, or extra-axial.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment (EVT) in primary and EVT-induced secondary medium-vessel occlusions (MeVO). The results showed that primary MeVO had poorer outcomes in terms of complications, EVT efficacy, and the proportion of patients with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0-2 at 3 months compared to exclusive large-vessel occlusion (LVO). However, EVT-induced secondary MeVO showed similar safety and efficacy outcomes as exclusive LVO and had better outcomes in terms of mRS 0-2 compared to primary MeVO.

The study found that rural counties had significantly longer travel distances and times compared to urban counties. Counties with high and medium stroke prevalence also had higher travel times and distances compared to low stroke prevalence counties. Therefore, addressing transportation barriers and implementing tele-rehabilitation are crucial for improving access to stroke aftercare in these areas.

The results showed that serum ALP levels in ICH patients were significantly elevated and correlated with hematoma volume and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score. High serum ALP levels may serve as a potential predictor for the severity and unfavorable prognosis of ICH.
