Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and occupational performance in firefighters.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional study, 309 firefighters were systematically recruited to participate in this study. MetS was determined using physical measures and occupational performance was measured using a work ability test (WAT), which included six work-specific tasks. Data were analyzed using independent t tests, linear, logistic, and multinomial regressions.
Results: Firefighters with four risk factors were less likely to pass the rescue drag task (OR = 0.99, P = 0.032). Triglycerides were associated with the forcible entry task (β = 0.120, P = 0.049). Central obesity decreased the odds of firefighters passing the WAT ( P = 0.007), the step-up ( P = 0.004), charged hose drag and pull ( P = 0.026), equipment carry ( P = 0.007), and rescue drag ( P = 0.022) tasks.
Conclusions: MetS was associated with poorer work performance, which was compounded as their number of risk factors increased.

LONP1 encodes a mitochondrial protease essential for protein quality control and metabolism. Variants in LONP1 are associated with a diverse and expanding spectrum of disorders, including Cerebral, Ocular, Dental, Auricular, and Skeletal anomalies syndrome (CODAS), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), with some individuals exhibiting features of mitochondrial encephalopathy. We report 16 novel LONP1 variants identified in 16 individuals (11 with NDD, 5 with CDH), further expanding the clinical spectrum.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, with a reach extending beyond the liver to include other metabolic syndrome-related disorders. Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus are recognised non-communicable disorders and often downstream complications of MASLD and share similar risk factors. However, MASLD has not been afforded parity alongside other cardiometabolic non-communicable disorders, including the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome.

Introduction And Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic disease (MASLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in children and adolescents. The development of MASLD is associated with dietary habits, and dietary intake characteristics are a relevant risk factor. The aim of the present study was to analyze dietary intake characteristics in children and adolescents and study how diet varies in subjects with and without MASLD.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are both autoimmune diseases characterised by eosinophilic involvement. Coexistence of the two diseases is rare, and confirmatory immunological analyses for BP are lacking in such cases. Here, we report a male in his 80s diagnosed with EGPA 5 years previously who developed numbness and tense blisters but showed no peripheral eosinophilia.

Fahr's syndrome is a rare neurological condition marked by unusual calcifications in the basal ganglia and other brain regions, often resulting from metabolic disorders, such as hypoparathyroidism. Secondary hypoparathyroidism, a frequent complication of total thyroidectomy, can lead to Fahr's syndrome, manifesting as movement disorders, seizures, psychiatric symptoms and indications of calcium deficiency. This case report discusses a woman in her mid-30s who developed Fahr's syndrome due to secondary hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy.
