BACKGROUND: Depression is often accompanied by changes in behavior, including dietary behaviors. The relationship between dietary behaviors and depression has been widely studied, yet previous research has relied on self-reported data which is subject to recall bias. Electronic device-based behavioral monitoring offers the potential for objective, real-time data collection of a large amount of continuous, long-term behavior data in naturalistic settings. OBJECTIVE: The study aims to characterize digital dietary behaviors in depression, and to determine whether these behaviors could be used to detect depression...

BACKGROUND: In the last few years, percutaneous LAA occlusion (LAAO) has become a plausible alternative in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with contraindications to anticoagulation therapy. Nevertheless, the optimal antiplatelet strategy following percutaneous LAAO remains to be defined. METHODS: Studies comparing single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) versus dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following LAAO were systematically searched and screened. The outcomes of interest were ischemic stroke, device-related thrombus (DRT) and major bleeding...

Nevus lipomatosus superficialis (NLS) is a hamartoma of adipose tissue, rarely reported in the past 100 years. We treated one case, and we conducted a systematic review of the literature. A 41-year-old man presented with a cutaneous multinodular lesion in the posterior region near the right auricle. The lesion was excised and examined histopathologically. To review the literature, we searched PubMed with the keyword "NLS." The search was limited to articles written in English and whose full text was available...

Background  With the advent of cranial orthoses as therapeutic medical devices for the treatment of severe positional head deformities in Japan, an increasing number of patients are being treated with them. However, assessing the effectiveness of a treatment is often difficult due to the use of different metrics. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cranial orthoses for deformational plagiocephaly using two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) evaluation metrics. Methods  We conducted a retrospective study of infant patients with deformational plagiocephaly who underwent cranial orthosis treatment...

INTRODUCTION: Traumataic brain injury (TBI) represents a significant global health burden. This systematic review delves into the comparison of S100B and Neuron-Specific Enolase (NSE) regarding their diagnostic and prognostic accuracy in TBI within the adult population. METHODS: Conducted on October 21, 2023, the search identified 24 studies encompassing 6454 adult patients. QUADAS-2 and QUAPAS tools were employed to assess the risk of bias. The analyses aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic performance of S100B and NSE based on sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC)...

IMPORTANCE: Human brain development and maintenance is under both genetic and environmental influences that likely affect later-life dementia risk. OBJECTIVE: To examine environmental influences by testing whether time-dependent secular differences occurred in cranial and brain volumes and cortical thickness over birth decades spanning 1930 to 1970. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This cross-sectional study used data from the community-based Framingham Heart Study cohort for participants born in the decades 1930 to 1970...

AIMS: A majority of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) present without typical ST elevation. One-third of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients have an acutely occluded culprit coronary artery [occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI)], leading to poor outcomes due to delayed identification and invasive management. In this study, we sought to develop a versatile artificial intelligence (AI) model detecting acute OMI on single-standard 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) and compare its performance with existing state-of-the-art diagnostic criteria...

Dickeya solani , belonging to the Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae , are aggressive necrotrophs, exhibiting both a wide geographic distribution and a wide host range that includes many angiosperm orders, both dicot and monocot plants, cultivated under all climatic conditions. Little is known about the infection strategies D. solani employs to infect hosts other than potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.). Our earlier study identified D. solani Tn5 mutants induced exclusively by the presence of the weed host S. dulcamara ...

Monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) is pivotal in the management of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), but secondary brain injuries can arise despite normal ICP levels. Cerebral tissue oxygenation monitoring (PbtO2) may detect neuronal tissue infarction thresholds, enhancing neuroprotection. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of combined cerebral tissue oxygenation (PbtO2) and ICP compared to isolated ICP monitoring in patients with TBI. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Sciences databases were searched for trials published up to June 2023...

The deletion of a phenylalanine at position 508 (p.Phe508del) in the CFTR anion channel is the most prevalent variant in people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). This variant impairs folding and stability of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, resulting in its defective trafficking and premature degradation. Over the last years, therapeutic accomplishments have been attained in developing small molecules that partially correct p.Phe508del-CFTR defects; however, the mechanism of action (MoA) of these compounds has only started to be uncovered...

SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease are thought to have an impact on breastfeeding rate - besides other known peripartal issues. Data of the national CRONOS registry regarding breastfeeding behavior in 6,746 women was analyzed regarding the time window between maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection and time of delivery. In addition, other influencing factors like the predominant viral variant, maternal disease severity, and gestational age at delivery were taken into account. Our data suggest that within the variables analyzed, in the case of acute maternal infection (<14 days before birth), breastfeeding behavior improved with increasing gestational age at birth (p<0...
