Background: Sarcopenia is associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, whether changes in sarcopenia status affect CVD risk remains unclear. In addition, how indoor fuel use impacts the sarcopenia transition process is less well studied.

Introduction: Co-morbid insomnia and sleep apnea (COMISA) has been linked to poorer health outcomes and increased all-cause mortality compared with either insomnia or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) alone.
Materials And Methods: We investigated the relationship between COMISA and uncontrolled hypertension in the Swedish CardioPulmonary BioImage Study (SCAPIS). A cross-sectional analysis including participants from the SCAPIS Gothenburg cohort (n=3832, 46% males, age 57.

Understanding why Diptera, such as mosquitoes and sand flies, feed on humans is crucial in defining them as vectors of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and leishmaniasis. Determining their attraction to humans (anthropophily) helps in assessing the risk of disease transmission, designing effective vector control strategies, and monitoring the effectiveness of existing control measures. An important question is whether they are specifically attracted to humans in preference to other mammals or whether there is something else at play.

However, longitudinal data on the burden and risk factors for overweight/obesity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) remain limited. This study aimed to estimate the incidence and identify factors associated with overweight and obesity among PLWH who switched to a dolutegravir (DTG)-based ART regimen at Livingstone University Teaching Hospital.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: At present, existing risk scores together with traditional biomarkers such as troponin and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are still unable to accurately predict cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for improved identification of high-risk patients; however, limited studies have been performed in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.
Objectives: To investigate the predictive potential of six serum-derived circulating miRNAs for CTRCD occurrence in patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer receiving trastuzumab (TTZ).
