Purpose: The effect of metabolic factors on cardiovascular risk in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of metabolic factors on the left ventricular diastolic function in patients with OSA.
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study included a total of 478 patients with OSA from September 2018 to September 2023. After propensity score matching, wherein 193 patients with OSA with metabolic syndrome (MS) were 1:1 matched to patients with OSA without MS by sex and age, data from 386 patients were ultimately analyzed. Furthermore, all patients were divided into mild, moderate, and severe OSA groups according to their sleep apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Measurements included nocturnal polysomnography, biochemical testing, and transthoracic echocardiography data.
Results: The AHI in the MS group was higher (30.24±21.69 vs 23.19±17.65, p<0.001) and the lowest oxygen saturation at night was lower (77.67±9.23 vs 80.59±9.26, p<0.001) than those in the non-MS group. Additionally, the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), end-diastolic ventricular septal thickness (IVST), left ventricular end-diastolic posterior wall thickness (LVPWT), left atrial internal diameter (LAD), and E peak to A peak velocity ratio (E/A) in the MS group were higher than those in the non-MS group (P<0.05). The E peak to e' peak velocity ratio (E/e') in the MS group was higher than that in the non-MS group (12.02±3.68 vs 11.13±3.12, P=0.011) and was positively correlated with the diagnosis of MS and metabolic factors (=0.115, p=0.024; =0.131, p=0.010, respectively). Patients with five metabolic factors had a significantly higher risk of E/e' elevation than patients in the non-MS group (odds ratio=4.238, p=0.007).
Conclusion: MS may be related to OSA severity and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. An increase in metabolic factors may increase the risk of diastolic dysfunction. Among metabolic factors, blood pressure may be the most important.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with neuro-immune - metabolic - oxidative (NIMETOX) pathways.
Aims: To examine the connections among NIMETOX pathways in outpatient MDD (OMDD) with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS); and to determine the prevalence of NIMETOX aberrations in a cohort of OMDD patients.
Methods: We included 67 healthy controls and 66 OMDD patients and we assessed various NIMETOX pathways.

Objectives: Empty sella is the herniation of the subarachnoid space into the sella turcica; either secondary to identifiable causes (e.g., surgery or radiotherapy); or spontaneously, which is termed primary empty sella (PES).

Aim: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its associated risk factors in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent treatment for IBD at Jordan University Hospital between January 2013 and 2022. Case finding methods and clinical chart reviews were used to evaluate the clinical profile of patients with IBD.

Aims: We investigated the independent association between dietary vitamin E intake among individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a representative sample of the USA.
Methods: We used the 2007-2014 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey with mortality follow-up through 2019 (median: 8.6 years).

Objectives: Complement factor I (CFI) deficiency is a rare condition that can present with fulminant relapsing CNS autoinflammation. In this report, we highlight the utility of genetic testing in unexplained CNS autoinflammation.
Methods: This case report describes a young adult with partial CFI deficiency, presenting with acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis.
