Article Abstract
Background: Few studies have estimated the attributable risk and economic cost of mental disorders (MDs) due to particulate matters with aerodynamic diameter of <2.5 μm (PM) exposure in Beijing.
Objectives: This study aims to identify the possible correlation between PM and risk of hospital admissions (HAs) for MDs in Beijing and calculate the attributable risk and economic cost.
Methods: A generalized additive model (GAM) with controlling for time trend, meteorological conditions, holidays and day of the week was used to estimate the associations. Stratified analyses were performed by age, gender and season. We further estimated the health and economic burden of HAs for MDs attributable to PM.
Findings: A total of 17,252 HAs for MDs were collected. A 10 μg/m daily increase in PM was associated with a statistically significant risk increase of 3.55% for HAs for MDs. The effects of PM exposures on HAs for MDs were more pronounced in males, elderly (≥65 years old) individuals and in cold seasons. Using WHO's air quality guidelines as the reference, 15.12% of HAs and 16.19% of the related medical expenses for MDs were attributed to PM during the study period.
Novelty: PM accounts for substantial morbidity and economic burden of MDs for both the society and households, which shows environmental protections are essential to improve mental health status of the population.

Background: Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for certain cancers and is increasing in the United States. We estimated the impact of alcohol consumption on cancer incidence trends in the United States from 2008-2019 across six alcohol-related cancers among men and women.
Methods: Average daily alcohol consumption (ADC) was calculated from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS, 1998-2009) and adjusted to per capita sales data to account for underreporting alcohol use.

Background: Stroke persists as the second leading global cause of mortality and disability. We analyzed G20 nations using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data (1990-2021) to provide a new perspective.
Methods: We obtained age-standardized rates (ASR) of stroke mortality, incidence, prevalence, and YLLs (years of life lost) across G20 nations.

Aim: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) offer significant cardiorenal benefits for people with type 2 diabetes (PwT2D). However, concerns remain regarding their association with diabetes-related ketoacidosis (DKA).

Background: Physical inactivity is a significant yet underappreciated risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly among older adults. The aim of this study was to analyze the global burden of CVD attributable to physical inactivity in individuals aged 70 years and older from 1990 to 2021 using the Global Burden of Disease data.
Methods: We assessed trends in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and deaths, decomposed changes into population growth, aging, and epidemiological factors, and examined health inequalities across sociodemographic index (SDI) regions.
Recurrent Meniscal Instability Requiring Revision Repair 28 Years After the Initial Repair for a Bucket Handle Medial Meniscus Tear: A Case Report.

In recent decades, arthroscopic meniscal repair has been increasingly indicated for meniscal tears in the last decades. Although literature generally reports favorable surgical outcomes, it remains unclear whether the repaired meniscus maintains its function over the long term while performing its chondroprotective function without recurrent tear after clinical healing. A 43-year-old Japanese man who underwent meniscal repair for a bucket handle tear of the medial meniscus (MM) at the age of 15 years presented with right knee pain and catching symptoms without a preceding traumatic event.
