Article Abstract
Respiratory rate (RR) is an important biomarker of cardiopulmonary status. Its role is particularly evident in conditions like obstructive sleep apnea, which significantly increase risk of heart disease. Electrocardiogram (ECG)-derived RR is an emerging alternative to traditional RR measurement, which requires cumbersome and specialized equipment. Here, we developed a novel algorithm to estimate instantaneous RR using only single-lead body-surface ECG. We comprehensively tested the influence of sex, age, and body mass index on the efficacy of ECG-derived RR. ECG and RR waveforms were obtained from 50 patients enrolled in a polysomnography sleep study. Algorithm-based ECG-derived RR estimates were compared with reference RR measurements from the sleep study. A close linear correlation between the reference and algorithmic RR estimates was observed across the entire cohort of patients. The mean absolute RR estimation error was 0.8±0.9 breaths/min. Importantly, the algorithm's accuracy was independent of the patient's age, sex, and body habitus. Our algorithm provides a robust estimation of RR and holds promise for remote pulmonary assessment in patients with respiratory disorders.

Background: The CRP-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index has potential clinical value as a novel marker integrating inflammatory, nutritional and immune status in the development of colorectal polyps. This study examined whether gender factors influence the association between CALLY and colorectal polyps; in addition to elucidating whether metabolic pathways mediate this relationship.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study including 5409 adult health screening participants who completed colonoscopy.

Purpose: Cholelithiasis is associated with decreased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a bile acid used to dissolve cholesterol gallstones, has been shown to be retina-protective in several mouse models. This study sought to determine if UDCA may protect against AMD.

Aims: Young people are consuming less healthy diets such as Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), which is associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases, including obesity. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the literature concerning the prevalence and trends of adherence to the (MedDiet) in a young Spanish population (aged 2-24 years) from 2004 to 2023.
Data Synthesis: The present review included observational studies and final assessments of longitudinal studies to assess the prevalence or trend in adherence to the MedDiet using the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for Children and Adolescents (KIDMED) in three categories (low (≤3), medium (4-7), and high (≥8)).

Adaptive behavior depends on a dynamic balance between acquisition and extinction memories. Male and female rodents differ in extinction learning rates, suggestion potential sex-based differences in this balance. In males, deletion of extinction-recruited neurons in the central nucleus (CN) of the amygdala impairs extinction retrieval, shifting behavior toward acquisition (Lay et al.
