Article Abstract
Study Design: Longitudinal cohort study.
Purpose: To investigate factors associated with chronic pain (CP) development following vertebral fracture (VF).
Overview Of Literature: Factors contributing to CP development after VFs are not well characterized.
Methods: Hospitalized patients with acute VFs underwent assessment of vertebral morphology and paraspinal muscles. Two weeks post-admission, patients were evaluated for pain intensity (using the Verbal Rating Scale [VRS]), pain sensitivity (Pressure Pain Threshold [PPT] and Conditioned Pain Modulation), psychological factors, physical function, and activity levels. At 12 weeks, patients were categorized into CP and non-CP (NCP) groups based on VRS scores. Between-group comparisons and logistic regression analysis were performed to identify predictors of CP development.
Results: The CP group exhibited significantly lower remote PPT and reduced low-intensity physical activity time, but higher Pain Catastrophizing Scale rumination scores and prolonged 5-Times Sit-to-Stand Test (5SST) compared to the NCP group. Logistic regression identified prolonged 5SST and reduced low-intensity physical activity as independent predictors of CP development.
Conclusions: Prolonged 5SST and reduced low-intensity physical activity may predict CP development after VFs. Early assessment of these factors may facilitate CP risk screening in hospitalized patients with VFs.

Non-pharmacological and nonsurgical interventions for abdominal obesity in adults: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Multiple non-pharmacological and nonsurgical interventions have demonstrated efficacy in improving abdominal obesity. However, the optimal intervention remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the relative effectiveness and safety of these interventions in reducing waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body mass index (BMI), and body weight among adults with abdominal obesity.

Heat-Health Action Plans (HHAPs) are essential public health interventions to reduce heat-related mortality and morbidity, yet how heat-related health risks have changed following their implementation remains scarce. This study aimed to examine the temporal changes in heat-related mortality in relation to the implementation of the HHAPs across five major cities of Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. Daily mortality and temperature data from 1999-2019 were analysed using distributed lag non-linear models to compare the heat-related mortality attributable fractions (AF%) between pre- and post-HHAP periods.

This study evaluated the modification of corn starch using low-intensity pulsed electric field (PEF: 10 kV) combined with sodium salts (NaCl, NaCO₃, NaH₂PO₄) to investigate how pH and increased electrical conductivity affect starch structure. The study examined how salt pH and increased conductivity from electronegativity differences enhance polymer structural changes. NaCO₃ reduced amylose and long amylopectin chains (DP ≥ 37) by 18 %, confirmed by hydrodynamic radius (Rh) reductions for amylose (3.

Physical Activity (PA) is important for mental, physical, and brain health. Adolescence is marked by increased engagement in risky substance use (SU) behaviors, which can negatively affect brain development. This study aims to determine if PA influences SU experimentation and initiation among adolescents.

Introduction: Limited research has examined the impact of training intensity on substrate utilization during acute exercise. Despite sex differences in the metabolic response to exercise few studies have examined females Purpose: This study compared the utilization of substrate during acute exercise following 8-weeks of low-intensity (LoT) and high-intensity (HiT) aerobic training (AT) in female rats. It was hypothesized that both training programs would result in increased fat oxidation during acute exercise, with HiT demonstrating a higher shift toward fat oxidation.
