Article Abstract
This study utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) with GWAS data to explore causal links between physical activity and allergic rhinitis (AR), aiming to identify lifestyle intervention targets. AR served as the outcome, with exposures including heavy/light do-it-yourself, exercises (e.g., cycling, swimming), and walking-related factors. C-reactive protein (CRP) was set as a mediator, and covariates like vitamin D and air pollution were controlled. Analyses included 2-sample MR, multivariable MR (MVMR), LD score regression (LDSC), and MR mediation. Cycling (IVW: OR = 0.01, P = .005) and faster walking pace (OR = 0.47, P = .001) were significantly associated with reduced AR risk. LDSC supported genetic correlation for walking pace (P = .004). MVMR confirmed independent effects, while MR mediation showed walking pace lowered CRP levels (OR = 0.569, P = 2.39e - 15), and elevated CRP increased AR risk (OR = 1.096, P = .030), with CRP mediating 6.9% of the protective effect. Cycling and brisk walking may reduce AR risk, with walking's benefit partially mediated by CRP. These findings highlight physical activity as a potential lifestyle intervention for AR prevention.

Department of Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Türkiye.
Background: Vascular changes are observed in children with cystic fibrosis (cwCF), and gender-specific differences may impact arterial stiffness. We aimed to compare arterial stiffness and clinical parameters based on gender in cwCF and to determine the factors affecting arterial stiffness in cwCF.
Methods: Fifty-eight cwCF were included.
Association of problematic internet use with health-related daily habits in adolescents: evidence from a school-based survey.

Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University, Afyonkarahisar, Türkiye.
Background: With the development of technology, easier access to the internet and its excessive use have led to problematic internet use (PIU). The prevalence of PIU and its association with lifestyle behaviors in adolescents have become subjects of increasing academic interest. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of PIU among Turkish high school students and to investigate its association with sleep, physical activity and dietary habits.

Although, in principle, the Lancet article Commission on Medicine, Nazism, and the Holocaust, aims to provide medical students with a moral compass to guide the future of medical practice as a social retaining wall against anti-Semitism, it deals with the Holocaust not from a philosophical point of view, but from a pedagogical one, resorting to didactic strategies from a historiographical approach. What seemed to be a plea against the behaviour of the Nazi doctors' experiments becomes a justification of the positive law of the liberal democracies in use. However, what it ignores is of the utmost importance: that the majority of the regime's doctors were tried and sentenced for their iniquitous actions, and yet, in contemporary Western society, an even greater danger is very much present: techno-science, which, as it stands, can once again compromise the identity, dignity and very life of the human person.

Reward delays are often associated with reduced probability of reward, although standard assessments of delay discounting do not specify degree of reward certainty. Thus, the extent to which estimates of delay discounting are influenced by uncontrolled variance in perceived reward certainty remains unclear. Here we examine 370 participants who were randomly assigned to complete a delay discounting task when reward certainty was either unspecified (n=184) or specified as 100% (n = 186) in the task trials and task instructions.

Knowledge tracing can reveal students' level of knowledge in relation to their learning performance. Recently, plenty of machine learning algorithms have been proposed to exploit to implement knowledge tracing and have achieved promising outcomes. However, most of the previous approaches were unable to cope with long sequence time-series prediction, which is more valuable than short sequence prediction that is extensively utilized in current knowledge-tracing studies.
