Summary: This study investigated the impact of pneumonia on cognitive trajectories and dementia development in older people. It found a transient impact of pneumonia on cognitive decline in the first 2.5 years but no statistically significant increase in the risk of dementia. The study highlights the increased need for healthcare in patients after pneumonia-related hospitalization and reinforces the relevance of pneumonia prevention.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of acute myocardial infarction patients treated in ICUs versus high-dependency care units (HDUs). The results showed no significant difference in overall in-hospital mortality between ICU and HDU groups. However, among subsets of patients with Killip class IV, intubation, or mechanical circulatory support, ICU treatment was associated with reduced in-hospital mortality.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the association between preoperative serum alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase levels and mortality and morbidity after noncardiac surgery. The results showed that an elevated preoperative serum alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase level was associated with increasing mortality, myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery, and intensive care unit admission.

Summary: Patients with DLBCL have an increased risk of AMI, particularly in the first 2 years following diagnosis. Older age, male sex, and comorbidities are strong risk factors for AMI. Younger patients only have a short-term high risk of AMI when severe comorbidities are present. Overall, there was no difference in AMI characteristics, pharmacological treatment, or 30-day survival between DLBCL patients and comparators.

Summary: This study compared health-related risk behaviors between MI survivors and matched non-MI controls, finding that MI survivors were more likely to smoke, consume less alcohol, and have more frequent cholesterol checkups.

Summary: Lower levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol independently predict higher all-cause mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction, while higher levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol above the median independently predict higher mortality in the control group. This study adds to the evidence supporting the existence of a cholesterol paradox.

Summary: This study tested the use of the neoadjuvant rectal (NAR) score as a predictor of 5-year overall survival (OS) in patients with rectal adenocarcinoma. The results showed that the NAR score is a strong predictor of 5-year OS, regardless of the patients' clinical stage or receipt of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Summary: COVID-19 has caused significant casualties and morbidities globally, with multisystem manifestations being commonly reported. Taiwan experienced a rapid increase in community infection cases, prompting the establishment of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team to address the rehabilitation needs of hospitalized patients.

Summary: This study compared trunk sway parameters between patients with chronic LBP and controls during sitting and standing, and found that trunk control was impaired in patients with chronic LBP. The results suggest that using sitting posturographic parameters as sensitive measures can detect impaired trunk control in patients with CLBP.

Summary: Motion capture systems, particularly using inertial sensors, are increasingly utilized in rehabilitation to track patient motion and analyze effectiveness. This study introduces a deep learning architecture based on graph convolutional network (GCN) to predict human lower limb joint positions in 3D space using sensor data, aiming to reduce tracking errors and improve rehabilitation outcomes. The proposed method shows promising results in motion prediction accuracy and potential for clinical applications.

Summary: This study aims to explore whether Apple Watch, used as a long-term monitoring device, is effective in the early diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) and the prevention of cognitive function decline in older adults. By using AI-ECG to screen high-risk patients and record electrocardiograms, the effectiveness of Apple Watch will be evaluated. If successful, this approach could have significant implications on how future clinical practice leverages consumer devices for early diagnosis and disease prevention.
