Summary: This study found that in middle-aged and older adults, there is an association between coronary artery disease and olfactory dysfunction in males, while abdominal obesity is associated with olfactory dysfunction in females. There is also an additive interaction between abdominal obesity and female sex which increases the risk.

Summary: Stroke-related cognitive impairment has significant impacts on patients, caregivers, and society, highlighting the importance of effective management and prevention strategies. Currently, there are inconsistencies in definitions, prevalence rates, predictors, and prevention strategies for post-stroke cognitive impairment, indicating the need for further research in this area.

Summary: The prevalence of hearing impairment (HI) is high among low-income middle-aged and elderly individuals in Tianjin, China, with men and older individuals at higher risk. Elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) is associated with increased risk of HI, while elevated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is associated with decreased risk of HI. Addressing HI prevention is crucial for reducing the burden of HI and improving quality of life.

Summary: While big data has been widely discussed in various scientific fields, its application in autism research has been limited. This commentary highlights the relevance of big data in autism research and addresses methodological issues such as confounding and data error. It emphasizes that, despite the transformative potential of big data studies, careful consideration and interdisciplinary collaboration are necessary to extract meaningful scientific insights.

Summary: Impairments in olfaction and taste are common non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease, often appearing before motor symptoms onset. The basis for these dysfunctions are likely multifactorial, potentially sharing determinants with other non-motor symptoms of PD. Associations with the microbiota may also represent risk factors associated with the disease.

Summary: The study found a potential association between visual impairment, especially moderate to severe impairment, and an increased risk of incident dementia. However, further research is needed to confirm the findings and investigate the possibility of reverse causation.

Summary: Olfactory dysfunction is associated with a significantly increased risk of incident Parkinson's disease, especially in studies with a higher proportion of women, older individuals, or shorter follow-up duration. Subgroup-specific risk estimates are needed to refine prodromal PD criteria.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the rates and risk factors of endophthalmitis after intraocular surgeries in the Medicare population. The results showed that the postoperative endophthalmitis rate from 2016 to 2019 was 0.09% among Medicare beneficiaries. Corneal transplant surgeries had the highest endophthalmitis rate of 0.43%, followed by secondary intraocular lens surgeries at 0.36%. Cataract surgeries alone had the lowest endophthalmitis rate at 0.08%. Older age, male gender, and higher comorbidity index were associated with an increased risk of endophthalmitis.

Summary: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease involving genetic variants and environmental factors, including obesity, vitamin D deficiency, Epstein-Barr virus infection, and smoking. Leveraging genetics through the Mendelian randomization paradigm helps inform prevention strategies for MS by studying the impact of environmental factors on susceptibility. This approach draws parallels with observational studies and randomized controlled trials, highlighting the challenges and opportunities for future research in this area.

Summary: This study assessed the importance of clinical and genetic factors in the management of dyslipidaemia in the general population. It found that the management of dyslipidaemia in Switzerland is suboptimal, and the use of high potency statins is hindered by low posology. The use of genetic risk scores in the management of dyslipidaemia is not recommended.

Summary: In studies on risk factor discovery and risk prediction model development for immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced pneumonitis, existing literature lacks studies with low methodological risk and bias. There is an urgent need for high-quality research in order to develop clinically deployable risk prediction models, and recommendations and alternative approaches for reducing bias were discussed.
