Article Abstract
Aims: The aim of this initial study was to explore whether prediction models based on breath metabolome profiles could detect differences between pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) patients and healthy controls. Additionally, we sought to investigate the potential to distinguish between two major subtypes of PVD-pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)-to support early detection and targeted treatment.
Methods And Results: We used real-time breath analysis to compare the breath profiles of patients with PVD to healthy controls, and the metabolome of patients with PAH to those with CTEPH. Pathway enrichment analysis was conducted to reveal underlying metabolic pathways. Breath profiles of 75 patients (47 (62.7%) with PAH and 28 (37.3%) with CTEPH) were analysed and compared with those of 115 healthy controls. The prediction models identified PVD with an area under the curve of 0.917 and distinguished PAH from CTEPH with an AUC of 0.764. PVD patients showed significant metabolic alterations, particularly in fatty acid synthesis and fatty acid activation.
Conclusion: Breath analysis shows potential as a non-invasive and real-time diagnostic tool by demonstrating detectable differences in breath profiles between PVD patients and healthy controls. Establishing these differences is a critical first step in assessing the feasibility of identifying breath markers for PVD and exploring further differentiation between PAH and CTEPH.

Inflammatory Gene Variants and Protein Levels: An Important Predictor of Prostate Cancer Development.

Prostate cancer and inflammation mechanism are closely related because chronic inflammation causes inflammatory cells to infiltrate into prostatic atrophy areas and proliferative inflammatory atrophy is accepted as the initiator of prostate cancer. The study included 90 patients (28 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), 35 patients with localized prostate cancer (LPCa), and 27 patients with metastatic prostate cancer (MPCa) and 90 healthy controls. Blood samples from 90 patients and 90 healthy people were used to isolate genomic DNA.

Background: Neighborhoods resulting from rapid urbanization processes are often saturated with eateries for local communities, potentially increasing exposure to unhealthy foods and creating diabetogenic residential habitats.
Objective: We examined the association between proximity of commercial food outlets to local neighborhood residences and type 2 diabetes (T2D) cases to explore how local T2D rates vary by location and provide policy-driven metrics to monitor food outlet density as a potential control for high local T2D rates.
Methods: This cross-sectional ecological study included 11,354 patients with active T2D aged ≥20 years geocoded using approximate neighborhood residence aggregated to area-level rates and counts by subdistricts (mukims) in Penang, northern Malaysia.
Seven candidate interventions to address abuse of older people.
Age Ageing

Department of Social Determinants of Health, Division of Healthier Populations, World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland.
The Abuse of Older People - Intervention Accelerator (AOP-IA) project aims to accelerate the development of effective interventions to prevent and reduce AOP aged 60 and older within the framework of the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030). The AOP-IA was launched in response to the global need for interventions with proven effectiveness, as few existing approaches have been rigorously evaluated. This paper focuses on the first two phases of the AOP-IA project, which involved conducting a systematic search, screening and evaluation process to identify candidate interventions ready to be rigorously evaluated in future stages of the project, as well as establishing a network of intervention developers.

Background And Objectives: We present a new Finite Element (FE) tongue model that was designed to precisely account for 3D tongue shapes produced during isolated French speech sounds by a male individual (RS). Such a high degree of realism will enable scientists to precisely and quantitatively assess, in a speaker-specific manner, hypotheses about speech motor control and the impact of tongue anatomy, muscle arrangements, and tongue dynamics in this context.
Methods: The shape and topology of the FE model were generated from 3D high resolution orofacial MR images of RS having his tongue in "neutral" posture.

Background: Overexpression of rs3761936 of DCLRE1B gene has been observed in both breast cancer and cervical cancer patients. To justify the association of this polymorphism with these cancers, we performed this case-control study.
Method: A total of 245 cancer patients and 108 healthy controls participated in the research.
