Summary: This study explored the association between low language abilities and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) from ages 4 to 13, finding that children with low language had significantly lower HRQoL during this period. Three HRQoL trajectories were identified as stable-high, reduced with slow decline, and low with rapid decline, with children with low language less likely to follow the stable-high trajectory.

Summary: This study aims to uncover the effects of COVID-19 on the psychological, social, and economic well-being of the working population in India. Findings suggest that female employees, private sector employees, and residents of tier 1 cities are more likely to exhibit negative psychological states during the pandemic. Policymakers can use these findings to devise appropriate policies to address the challenges faced by the working population in India.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for the general population of Pakistan. The results showed that age, city, gender, education, occupation, residence, and house occupancy significantly affected HRQOL. Socioeconomically deprived groups and females had inferior health status compared to more advantaged groups. Similar trends were observed compared to high-income nations.

Summary: The activity of neurons in the prefrontal cortex during working memory delays is dynamic, and the dynamics vary across different cortical visual field maps. Using fMRI responses, researchers found that the early visual cortex exhibited stronger dynamics compared to the high-level visual and frontoparietal cortex. By leveraging population receptive field models, they visualized and interpreted the neural dynamics. Specifically, during working memory delays, the V1 population encoded a narrow bump of activation centered on the peripheral memory target, which then spread inward along the trajectory of the forthcoming memory-guided saccade.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the impact of cochlear implantation on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), hearing disabilities, and work satisfaction in working-aged adults with severe to profound hearing loss. The results showed significant improvements in HRQoL outcomes, including hearing, speech, emotion, and health utility, post-implantation. Overall hearing disability decreased, and work satisfaction improved after cochlear implantation.

Summary: The study examined the links between the pillars of psychological flexibility and the quality of working life for cancer survivors. It also explored how psychological flexibility mediated the relationship between working life quality and anxiety, depression, and overall life satisfaction. Understanding psychological flexibility allows for targeted interventions to meet the unique needs of cancer survivors.

Summary: The study aims to determine the prevalence of HMOD and established CV disease in a nationally representative population in China. The prevalence of asymptomatic HMOD and established CV disease was higher in individuals with higher blood pressure levels. Controlled hypertension was associated with lower prevalence of asymptomatic HMOD compared to uncontrolled hypertension, indicating a significant future burden of morbidity and mortality from hypertension in China.

Summary: This study compared the prevalence of hypertension in Chinese adolescents aged 15-17 years according to different guidelines. The study found that the prevalence differed based on the guidelines used, with the 2018 Chinese guidelines for children reporting the highest prevalence. Additionally, the study observed higher blood pressure values in each gender-age-height-specific group compared to the 2018 Chinese guidelines for children.

Summary: This study, using a large longitudinal cohort study and meta-analysis, found an association between road traffic noise exposure and increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Especially in men, high levels of road traffic noise exposure were significantly associated with increased risk of stroke, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality.

Summary: There is a correlation between the age at menarche, menopause, reproductive lifespan, and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Chinese postmenopausal women. Women with later age at menarche, later age at menopause, and shorter reproductive lifespan have a higher risk of CVD events.

Summary: Low-dose sacubitril/valsartan may not be as effective and safe as high-dose sacubitril/valsartan in reducing the risk of heart failure hospitalization and all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure. However, there were no significant differences between the two doses in improving heart function, left ventricular ejection fraction, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, and systolic blood pressure.

Summary: This study investigated the benefits of combined therapy with dapagliflozin and sacubitril/valsartan in improving cardiac function in HFrEF patients. The results showed that the combination of sacubitril/valsartan and dapagliflozin can significantly improve cardiac function and lead to greater reductions in LAD and NT-proBNP levels compared to sacubitril/valsartan monotherapy.

Summary: The burden of heart failure (HF) in China is expected to increase due to population ageing. However, there is limited knowledge about the prevalence of HF stages in China. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HF stages in the general Chinese population and the specific prevalence by age, sex, and urbanity. The study found that both pre-clinical and clinical HF burdens are high in China and vary by age, sex, and urbanity.
