Article Abstract

Background: Diabetes is an important public health problem due to its health impairments and high costs for health services. We analyzed the relationship between the domains of physical activity at leisure-time (LTPA) and at commuting (CPA) with diabetes and pre-diabetes in an ELSA-Brasil study.

Methods: Data from 11,797 participants (52.5% women, 49.1 ± 7.2 years) were analyzed. LTPA and CPA were measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Diabetes and pre-diabetes were defined by medical history, medication use to treat diabetes or blood glucose. Logistic regression models were performed to estimate the association between LTPA and CPA with diabetes and pre-diabetes after adjustment for sociodemographic and cardiovascular risk factors.

Results: The prevalence of LTPA and CPA was 24.4% and 34%, respectively. Physically active participants at LTPA were less likely to have pre-diabetes (OR = 0.86 [95% CI = 0.77-0.95]) and diabetes (OR = 0.80 [95% CI = 0.69-0.93]), compared with inactive participants. No association between CPA and diabetes/pre-diabetes was observed. LTPA was inversely associated with diabetes among men (OR = 0.73 [95% CI = 0.60-0.89]), but was not associated among women. Women who were active (OR = 0.78 [95% CI = 0.67-0.90]) (OR = 0.79 [95% CI = 0.65-0.95]) at LTPA were less likely to have pre-diabetes, than inactive women.

Conclusion: LTPA was inversely associated with diabetes and pre-diabetes in the ELSA-Brasil participants. A different behavior was observed between genders.

Cognitive control in schizophrenia spectrum disorders is associated with long-term movement activity rather than single-bout exercise.

Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci

Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Lübeck, Ratzeburger Allee 160, 23538, Lübeck, Germany.

Background: Patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD) suffer from impaired cognitive functions. Previous studies in healthy individuals have shown that a single bout of physical exercise benefits cognitive functions. Such enhancements in cognitive function would be highly beneficial, particularly for patients with SSD, as cognitive abilities play a vital role in both mental and physical health.

Background: Obesity has emerged as a critical global public health challenge. Postmenopausal women experience significantly elevated risks of metabolic disorders and a marked increase in obesity prevalence due to declining estrogen levels. The uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR), an emerging biomarker for metabolic syndrome, is gaining clinical recognition.

A potential association between tirzepatide and hypercalcemia in the setting of chronic hydrochlorothiazide use.

Department of Internal Medicine, Medical City Arlington, Arlington, Texas, USA.

Summary: Hypercalcemia is a prevalent electrolyte disturbance commonly associated with primary hyperparathyroidism, cancer, or medication adverse effects. Thiazide diuretics reduce urinary calcium excretion, increasing calcium reabsorption and hypercalcemia. Tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, is increasingly used for type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Corneal transplantation wound dehiscence after penetrating keratoplasty and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.

Int Ophthalmol

September 2025

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Carver College of Medicine, University of Iowa, 200 Hawkins Dr, 11290A PFP, Iowa City, IA, 52242, USA.

Purpose: To study clinical characteristics and outcomes of penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) wound dehiscence.

Methods: This retrospective case series assessed PK and DALK recipients with wound dehiscence at a single institution. We evaluated relationships between dehiscence etiologies, transplant indications, ocular/systemic comorbidities, keratoplasty type, and adverse post-dehiscence outcomes, especially graft failure and visual loss.
