Article Abstract
Background: Population aging challenges health care systems due to the high prevalence and impact of multimorbidity in older adults. Studies on multimorbidity in Shenzhen have primarily focused on the quantity of multimorbidity, lacking in-depth exploration of multimorbidity patterns.
Methods: Based on baseline data from the Shenzhen aging-related disease cohort, this study analyzed information from 8,911 people aged 60 and above after excluding missing and abnormal values from interview results. Using self-organizing map combined with weighted k-means, the distribution of diseases in the population was visualized, dividing the overall population into four clusters. The study also analyzed comorbidity and association rules for each cluster.
Result: This study found a high prevalence of cardiometabolic comorbidities among the older adult in Shenzhen, reaching 15.83%, and detailed the distribution of specific comorbidity combinations. Hypertension had a high prevalence and was the most common factor in comorbidities among Shenzhen's older adult. Additionally, hyperuricemia was included as a disease to explore its multimorbidity patterns with other chronic conditions.
Conclusion: The study found that multimorbidity is prevalent among the older adult in Shenzhen and explored their patterns, suggesting that Shenzhen should enhance screening and integrated management of high-risk groups and implement public health interventions to alleviate the multimorbidity burden.

Tahiti or the "myth of Paradise", Bora Bora, "the Pearl of the Pacific". Who has never wanted to take a plane and come and land on the heavenly beaches of Polynesia, a French territory at the antipodes of mainland France lost in the middle of the Pacific? However, we do not imagine that 60% of Polynesians live below the metropolitan low-income threshold or that life expectancy is lower than that of the mainland due to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases with three quarters overweight population.In addition to non-transmissible metabolic diseases, various pathologies common to temperate countries present specificities in Polynesia, leading to sometimes different management and medical reasoning.

Background: People living with HIV(PLWH) are a high-risk population for cancer. We conducted a pioneering study on the gut microbiota of PLWH with various types of cancer, revealing key microbiota.
Methods: We collected stool samples from 54 PLWH who have cancer (PLWH-C), including Kaposi's sarcoma (KS, n=7), lymphoma (L, n=22), lung cancer (LC, n=12), and colorectal cancer (CRC, n=13), 55 PLWH who do not have cancer (PLWH-NC), and 49 people living without HIV (Ctrl).

Background: Metabolic reprogramming is an important hallmark of cervical cancer (CC), and extensive studies have provided important information for translational and clinical oncology. Here we sought to determine metabolic association with molecular aberrations, telomere maintenance and outcomes in CC.
Methods: RNA sequencing data from TCGA cohort of CC was analyzed for their metabolic gene expression profile and consensus clustering was then performed to classify tumors into different groups/subtypes.

Oropouche virus (OROV) is emerging as a growing public health concern, with increasing numbers of case, an expanding global spread and the potential for severe clinical outcomes. However, despite the increasing incidence, the clinical features of OROV infections have not yet been thoroughly examined. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the prevalence of clinical manifestations in OROV infections.

Background: While psychological stress cannot be dissociated from chronic diseases, the extent to which it impacts the management of chronic diseases is poorly understood. This cross-sectional study investigated the prevalence and impact of psychological stress among Rwandan patients with chronic diseases, particularly hypertension, heart failure, malignancies, diabetes, and kidney failure.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among internal medicine patients receiving treatment for chronic diseases at the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali (n = 81) and the University Teaching Hospital of Butare (CHUB) (n = 78) between May 1 and June 30, 2024.
