Summary: The study found that in patients with SSc-ILD, the decline in FVC is not only related to the progression of ILD, but also to the atrophy of accessory respiratory muscles. The decrease in chest wall muscle area may affect the lung function of patients.

Summary: Research findings suggest that male suicide rates are high and increasing, and understanding the experiences of suicide attempters can provide important insights for suicide prevention. Male suicide attempts typically involve struggles preceding death, life-ending actions, and efforts to stay alive post suicide.

Summary: Impaired %FVC is associated with higher all-cause mortality in aged adults, and strong leg force may improve this relationship. Among the three major leading causes of death, impaired %FVC is specifically related to higher pneumonia mortality. Weak leg force might indicate sarcopenia, and its prevention may reduce the risk of higher pneumonia mortality associated with impaired %FVC.

Summary: Exercise training was found to be more effective than testosterone treatment in improving aerobic fitness, muscular strength, and total and visceral fat mass in middle-to-older aged men with low-normal testosterone concentrations. Adding testosterone treatment to exercise did not provide any additional benefit for these variables. Both testosterone treatment alone and exercise alone had similar impacts on lean mass, with limited additional benefits when combined. Men unable to exercise may benefit from testosterone treatment alone to improve lean mass.

Summary: This study found that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and relative leg extension power (rLEP) are inversely associated with the prevalence of diabetes, and participants with high CRF and high rLEP have a lower prevalence of diabetes compared to those with only high CRF or only high rLEP.

Summary: This study found that a vital capacity below 60% of predicted value on admission is associated with the need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission and intubation and ventilation (I + V) in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). However, there is limited evidence to support specific thresholds for ICU and I + V. Future research may assess the impact of different patient characteristics on the effectiveness of spirometry parameters in predicting the need for ICU and I + V.

Summary: The study aimed to measure psychological and physiological reactions during 8 days of water-only fasting. The results showed a decrease in body weight, blood pressure, and glucose level, as well as an increase in resting heart rate, cortisol, and β-hydroxybutyrate concentration. However, no significant psychological changes were observed.

Summary: This study aimed to establish and validate a clinical prediction model for 6-month all-cause mortality in Chinese patients with anti-MDA5 positive DM-ILD. The results showed that a categorical predictor based on forced vital capacity (FVC)% was identified and validated as an independent prognostic factor, which could effectively distinguish the risk stages in patients and facilitate risk stratification in clinical practice.

Summary: This study evaluated the ability of dynamic chest radiography (DCR) to predict forced vital capacity (FVC) and other PFT parameters of interstitial lung disease (ILD) patients. Lung volumes measured by DCR were found to correlate with lung function, leading to the development of prediction models with high predictive power for FVC and other PFT parameters.

Summary: Middle-aged men living with human immunodeficiency virus (MLWH) have a significantly higher risk of hip fracture, almost a decade earlier than those without infection. Limited data on cortical and trabecular bone deficit in MLWH were observed. This study found that MLWH had lower hip bone density and deficits in certain bone parameters compared to age and body mass index-matched controls.

Summary: This study investigated the difference, reproducibility, and incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in inter-arm systolic blood pressure (sIAD). It found that high absolute sIAD values were not persistent over time, but were associated with increased risk for stroke and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Measuring systolic blood pressure between arms can help identify individuals at higher risk for CVD.

Summary: The study found that the American Heart Association's cardiovascular health (CVH) score is closely associated with early-onset diabetes, later-onset diabetes, and subsequent complications of diabetes. Higher CVH score is associated with lower risk of both early- and later-onset diabetes, as well as diabetic complications. This study highlights the importance of maintaining good cardiovascular health in preventing diabetes and its complications.

The results showed a positive correlation between LTPA and fitness, while OPA was negatively correlated with fitness. These findings are important for physical activity research and public health promotion.

Summary: Depression overlaps with cardiometabolic conditions in terms of metabolomic signature. The metabolomic signature is linked to atypical depression profiles characterized by energy alterations. This specific clustering of metabolomic signature with clinical profile identifies a subgroup of depressed patients at higher cardiometabolic risk, potentially serving as a valuable target for interventions to reduce the detrimental impact of depression on health.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate mortality rates from three major cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases, and other heart diseases of uncertain etiology) in a pooled cohort over a 60-year follow-up period. The results showed that countries with high serum cholesterol levels had higher death rates from coronary heart disease, while countries with low cholesterol levels had higher death rates from stroke and other heart diseases. Differences in lifelong cardiovascular disease mortalities across different countries were smaller than expected.

Summary: This epidemiological study found that CT lung injury is associated with future interstitial features and restrictive spirometry abnormality. Among 2213 participants, a 10% higher amount of CT lung injury at mean age 40 years was associated with a 4.37% higher amount of lung tissue characterised as interstitial features at mean age 50 years. Compared to those with the lowest quartile of CT lung injury at mean age 40 years, there were higher odds of incident restrictive spirometry at mean age 55 years in quartile 2, quartile 3, and quartile 4.

This study adopted a symptom-oriented approach and found that post-TBI depression is highly heterogeneous. Different depressive symptoms have distinct associations with personal, injury-related, treatment, and outcome factors.

The results showed that FA was significantly associated with PTSS and functional impairment. Baseline FA partially mediated the relationship between baseline PTSS and functional impairment. Changes in FA from pre- to post-treatment were associated with relevant outcome variables at post-treatment and 12-month follow-up.
