Those with higher incomes tend to have better health outcomes, including healthy weight status. We use data from the 2003-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to examine whether the association between higher weight status and social integration varies by income. We examine gender differences in weight status, measured by BMI and obesity, by social integration and income, and find evidence that high social integration is a risk factor for higher weight status among low-income men. The association between income and higher weight status operates differently for women and men and is dependent, in part, on their level of social integration. Income is negatively associated with weight status for men who are highly integrated, but is positively associated with weight status among men who have low integration. We conclude that higher numbers of close friends and family places low-income men at greater risk of higher weight status.

Introduction: This post hoc analysis of an A Toujeo Observational Study (ATOS) aims to evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of insulin glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300) in high-risk subgroups of insulin-naïve people with type 2 diabetes (PwT2D) from multiple geographical regions (Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe).
Methods: In these post hoc analyses of ATOS, a real-world, 12-month, prospective study included 4422 insulin-naïve adults (age ≥ 18 years) with type 2 diabetes (T2D) uncontrolled (HbA > 7% and ≤ 11%) on one or more oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) who initiated Gla-300 treatment as per routine practice. Primary and secondary endpoints were studied according to renal impairment (RI) status (without or with) and age group (≥ 70 years).

Purpose: A network analysis model was used to investigate the network structure linking food intake and mental health among middle school students in Shandong Province from a specific symptom perspective.
Methods: A total of 6179 middle school students aged 11-18 years in Shandong Province were included in the study. The modified Chinese Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ) and Symptom Check List 90 (SCL-90) were used to estimate the status of food intake and mental health, respectively.

Purpose: To develop a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics nomogram to predict lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) status in patients with early-stage cervical adenocarcinoma (CAC).
Methods: Clinicopathological and MRI data from 310 patients with histopathologically confirmed early-stage CAC were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into training (n = 186) and validation (n = 124) cohorts.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a preventable complication following orthopaedic surgery. While most guidelines focus on arthroplasty, a significant number of knee surgeries fall under non-arthroplasty procedures, where post-operative VTE prophylaxis recommendations vary depending on anaesthetic time and weight-bearing status. National guidelines and available literature suggest the use of VTE prophylaxis for these cases, yet adherence in clinical practice remains inconsistent.
