Article Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to construct a model that describes heart health behaviors in middle-aged working women and verify the goodness-of-fit of the model based on Salutogenesis.

Methods And Results: This study adopted a cross-sectional design. Participants were 330 middle-aged working women in South Korea. Data were analyzed using structural equation modelling with Sobel's Z test. In the multiple mediation model, stress coping strategy ( = 0.26;  < 0.001), social support ( = 0.41;  < 0.001), and health self-efficacy ( = 0.36;  < 0.001) had significant direct effects on sense of coherence (SOC). SOC had a significant direct effect on occupational ( = -0.72;  < 0.001) and family stress ( = -0.76;  < 0.001). Additionally, SOC ( = 0.67;  < 0.001), occupational stress ( = -0.46;  < 0.001), and family stress ( = -0.28;  < 0.001) had significant direct effects on heart health behaviors. Moreover, SOC had a significantly partial mediating effect on heart health behaviors through occupational stress ( = 3.17;  = 0.002) and family stress ( = 2.26;  = 0.024).

Conclusion: Occupational and family stress mediated the relationship between SOC and heart health behaviors in middle-aged working women.

Clinical Evidence: Interventions that mitigate occupational and family stress may improve heart health behaviors among middle-aged working women.

Plantation forest areas are rapidly expanding worldwide. Forests at different stand ages exhibit distinct patterns in litterfall input, soil microbial diversity, and enzyme activity, all of which potentially affect the properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM). DOM is an important precursor of disinfection byproducts (DBPs).

Background: A plant-focused, healthy dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet enriched with dietary fiber, polyphenols, and polyunsaturated fats, is well known to positively influence the gut microbiota. Conversely, a processed diet high in saturated fats and sugars negatively impacts gut diversity, potentially leading to weight gain, insulin resistance, and chronic, low-grade inflammation. Despite this understanding, the mechanisms by which the Mediterranean diet impacts the gut microbiota and its associated health benefits remain unclear.

We present the case of a 54-year-old patient treated with cemiplimab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), for multiple basal cell carcinomas in the context of Gorlin Goltz syndrome. Gorlin Goltz syndrome is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder characterized, among other features, by multiple early-onset basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). After receiving Cemiplimab, she developed aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-Ab) positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).

Background: Antiretroviral therapy has extended the lifespan of HIV/ADIS. However, research and policies mainly target younger groups, leaving gaps in the care for aging people living with HIV (PLHIV).

Methods: Using data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease Study, this research evaluated the global, regional, and national burdens of HIV/AIDS in adults aged 60 and above from 1990 to 2021.
