Article Abstract
Background: Sarcopenia, which is evaluated based on appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis, is a prognostic predictor for adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, a simple equation for estimating ASM is yet to be validated in clinical practice.
Methods: We enrolled 2211 patients with CAD who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention at our hospital between 2010 and 2017. The mean age was 68 years and 81.5 % were men. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on each ASM index (ASMI): low; male < 7.3 and female < 5.0 and high; male ≥ 7.3 and female ≥ 5.0. ASM was calculated using the following equation: 0.193 × bodyweight + 0.107 × height - 4.157 × gender - 0.037 × age - 2.631. Primary endpoints were major adverse cardiac events (MACE, which includes cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and hospitalization for heart failure), and all-cause mortality.
Results: During the median follow-up period of 4.8 years, cumulative incidence of events were significantly higher in the low ASMI group. Cox proportional hazards model revealed that the low ASMI group had a significantly higher risk of primary endpoints than the high ASMI group (all-cause mortality; hazard ratio (HR): 2.13, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.40-3.22, p < 0.001 and 4-point MACE; HR: 1.72, 95 % CI: 1.12-2.62, p = 0.01). Similar trends were observed after stratification by age of 65 years.
Conclusion: Low ASMI, evaluated using the aforementioned equation, is an independent predictor of MACE and all-cause mortality in patients with CAD.

Background: Given the challenge in preoperative diagnosis of high-volume lymph node metastasis (HVLNM) in clinical practice, we constructed and externally validated a comprehensive predictive model that integrated conventional ultrasound characteristics, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) parameters, BRAFmutation, and clinicopathological data for HVLNM in clinically lymph node-negative (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
Methods: Totally, 126 clinically lymph node-negative (cN0) PTC patients who underwent subtotal or total thyroidectomy and accompanied with prophylactic cervical lymph node dissection between December 2022 and December 2024 were enrolled in this retrospective study, and an additional 47 cN0 PTC patients included for the external validation cohort. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify the independent risk factors for HVLNM, and a binary logistic regression equation and relevant nomogram was constructed to predict the risk about HVLNM.
The relationship between fear of negative evaluation and social anxiety in parents of children with ASD: The chain mediating role of perceived social support and coping styles.

Parents of children with ASD face significantly greater parenting challenges than those raising typically developing children due to prolonged exposure to their children's developmental disorders, emotional distress, and atypical behaviors, underscoring the urgency of addressing their mental health concerns. This study examined the relationship between fear of negative evaluation (FNE) and social anxiety in parents of children with ASD, with a focus on the mediating roles of perceived social support and coping styles. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 585 parents of children with ASD using validated instruments: the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNE), the Social Anxiety Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Simple Coping Style Questionnaire.

Introduction: Mental health stigma remains a major barrier to accessing psychiatric care worldwide, with pronounced effects in culturally traditional societies such as Peshawar, Pakistan. In the Pashtun cultural context, the code of Pashtunwali-an honor-based system-shapes social attitudes and behaviors, potentially influencing mental health help-seeking patterns. This study examines how cultural narratives, social norms, and stigma interact to affect help-seeking behavior in this sociocultural setting.

Background: The world's elderly population is increasing. Due to the increase in musculoskeletal disorders in this group and the multifactorial nature of this disease, this study investigated the effective factors in preventing musculoskeletal pain in the elderly living in nursing homes, based on the Health Belief Model.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was conducted with a random sample of 311 older adult nursing home residents in the Kahrizak nursing home, whose aims were to identify the determinants influencing musculoskeletal pain prevention practices (intake of vitamin D, stress management, and correct body posture).
