Objectives Summer intermittent sun exposure is a major risk factor for melanoma. Socioeconomic position, cognitive and psychosocial factors play a role in sun protection behaviors but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. This study aimed to measure the influence of educational level on sun protection behaviors in French summer vacationers on the Mediterranean coastline, and to identify the mediating psychosocial factors in this pathway. Methods In summer 2019, French vacationers aged 12-55 staying in coastline campsites were asked about their holiday sun protection behaviors, their knowledge, attitudes, perceived control, and social norm relative to sun protection. A structural equation model measured the direct and indirect effects of educational level on protection behaviors via cognitive and psychosocial factors. Results Sun protection during vacation increased with educational level. Theoretical knowledge partially mediated this association, from 22% to 86%, particularly for intermediate educational levels. Conclusion Our results highlight the importance of implementing suitable sun prevention interventions for vacationers, especially those with a lower socioeconomic position. Improving theoretical knowledge around sun protection may be an important part of broader efforts to encouraging improved preventive behaviors.
Colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a rare and distinct subtype of colorectal cancer (CRC), with extremely poor prognosis and aggressive tumor biological behavior. In this study, we aimed to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and to identify the independent predictors of long-time survivors (LTSs) of nonmetastatic colorectal SRCC.

Patients diagnosed with nonmetastatic colorectal SRCC were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. We compared and analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics between LTSs (patients survived over 5 years) and non-LTSs (patients survived of or less than 5 years). Afterwards, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of LTSs, which were further used to construct a nomogram model to predict the probability of being LTSs.

We enrolled 2050 patients with nonmetastatic colorectal SRCC, consisting of 1441 non-LTSs and 609 LTSs. AZD5438 datasheet Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that race, marital status, tumor infiltration, lymph node involvement, and primary tumor treatment were independent predictors of LTSs. In addition, these five parameters were incorporated into a nomogram model to predict the probability of being LTSs. In terms of the model performance, the calibration curve revealed good agreement between observed and predicted probability of LTSs, and receiving operator characteristic curve showed acceptable discriminative capacity in the training and validation cohorts.

Collectively, we analyzed and profiled the clinicopathological characteristics of LTSs in patients with nonmetastatic colorectal SRCC. Race, marital status, T stage, N stage, and primary tumor treatment were independent predictors of LTSs.

However, given the different traditions of these fields, this interdisciplinarity can be a challenge when trying to interpret evidence and claims from motor learning experiments. To address this issue, we offer a set of ten guidelines for designing motor learning experiments starting from task selection to data analysis, primarily from the viewpoint of running lab-based experiments. The guidelines are not intended to serve as rigid rules, but instead to raise awareness about key issues in motor learning. We believe that addressing these issues can increase the robustness of work in the field and its relevance to the real-world.
Nearly half of patients with heart failure (HF) have preserved ejection fraction (EF) and the mortality and morbidity of patients with HF with preserved EF (HFpEF) are high. Patients with HFpEF are often elderly and their primary chronic symptom is severe exercise intolerance that results in a reduced quality of life. Thus, improvement of exercise capacity and quality of life presents another important clinical outcome in HFpEF patients. Recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses of RCTs reported that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors improved cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in patients with HF with reduced EF. Although the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors in HFpEF patients have been examined in multiple RCTs, results are inconsistent due partly to limited power. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of RCTs on the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors in HFpEF patients.

The search of electronic databases identified 11 RCTs including 10,845 patients. In pooled analyses, SGLT-2 inhibitors reduced the risk of a composite of hospitalization for HF and CV death (hazard ratio [95% CI]=0.78 [0.70, 0.87], P
<0.001). SGLT-2 inhibitors significantly increased 6-minute walk distance (weighted mean difference [95% CI]=18.0 [6.8, 29.3] m; P
=0.002) and the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Total Symptom Score (weighted mean difference [95% CI]=2.57 [0.19, 4.96] points; P
=0.035) and reduced plasma NT-pro B-type natriuretic peptide levels (weighted mean difference [95% CI]=-60.16 [-82.99, -37.33] pg/ml; P
<0.001) compared with control.

The present meta-analysis suggests that SGLT-2 inhibitors may be beneficial for HFpEF patients, especially in diabetic patients.

Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS), a form of kidney dysfunction frequent in cirrhotic patients, is characterized by low filling pressures and impaired kidney perfusion due to peripheral vasodilation and reduced effective circulatory volume. Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), driven by renal venous hypertension and elevated filling pressures, is a separate cause of kidney dysfunction in cirrhotic patients. The two entities, however, have similar clinical phenotypes. To date, limited invasive hemodynamic data are available to help distinguish the primary forces behind worsened kidney function in cirrhotic patients.

Our aim was to analyze invasive hemodynamic profiles and kidney outcomes in patients with cirrhosis who met criteria for HRS.

We conducted a single center retrospective study among cirrhotic patients with worsening kidney function admitted for liver transplant evaluation between 2010 and 2020. All met accepted criteria for HRS and underwent concurrent right heart catheterization (RHC).

127 subjects were in kidney function, guiding appropriate therapies based on filling pressures.
There is little information available on AF and its association with outcomes in adult influenza hospitalizations.

The National Inpatient Sample was queried from years 2009-2018 to create a cohort of discharges containing an influenza diagnosis. AF was the primary exposure. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis was used to describe the association of AF with clinical and healthcare-resource outcomes. Finally, a doubly-robust analysis using average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) propensity score weighting was performed to verify the results of traditional regression analysis.

After adjustment, the presence of AF during influenza hospitalization was associated with higher odds of in-hospital mortality (aOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.49 - 1.65), acute respiratory failure (aOR 1.22, 95% CI 1.19 - 1.25), acute respiratory failure with mechanical ventilation (aOR 1.37, 95% CI 1.32 - 1.41), acute kidney injury (aOR 1.09, 95% CI 1.06 - 1.12), acute kidney injury requiring dialysis (aOR 1.61, 95% CI 1.46 - 1.78) and cardiogenic shock (aOR 1.90, 95% CI 1.65 - 2.20, all p-values<0.0001). These findings were validated in our propensity score analysis using ATT weights. The presence of AF was also associated with higher total charges and costs of hospitalization, as well as a significantly longer length of stay (all p-values<0.0001).

AF is a cardiovascular comorbidity associated with worse clinical and healthcare resource outcomes in influenza requiring hospitalization. Its presence should be used to identify patients with influenza at risk of worse prognosis.

In this study, we implemented dynamic coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in order to estimate the coronary flow rate in morphologically normal coronary arteries as well as to identify factors affecting the coronary flow rate.

We retrospectively enrolled 95 consecutively presenting patients without stenosis or plaque in their major coronary arteries on CCTA conducted with a 320-detector scanner (mean age, 57years; 43% men). Time-attenuation curves of the distal sites of the major coronary arteries and the aortic root were extracted from dynamic CCTA data. Coronary flow rate, an indicator of coronary blood flow, was calculated via a convolution-integration method integrating the two curves. Patients with dyslipidemia were divided according to the presence or absence of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) as well as according to the receipt of statin therapy.

We found that the coronary flow rate was statistically significantly lower in statin-naïve patients with dyslipidemia (n=27, 0.56±0.10) than in patients without dyslipidemia (n=32, 0.64±0.10, p=0.0013). In FH (n=26), the coronary flow rate was statistically significantly lower in statin-naïve patients (n=7, 0.65±0.08) than in those taking statins (n=19, 0.72±0.10, p=0.0221). Coronary flow rate likewise exhibited a statistically significant negative correlation with hemoglobin A1c (Pearson r, -0.437; p=0.0003), but no correlation with other coronary risk factors. The coronary flow rate was statistically significantly lower in patients with diabetes (n=14, 0.55±0.10) than in those without diabetes (n=81, 0.61±0.11, p=0.0461).

We found a reduction in coronary flow rate in patients with statin-naive dyslipidemia and diabetes, even within morphologically normal coronary arteries.

Elite competitive sport climbers exhibit a high strength-to-weight ratio and are reported in the literature to be lighter and leaner than their athletic counterparts. Current research regarding nutrition among climbers is sparse but suggests that they may be at high risk for low energy availability and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). The prevalence of amenorrhea, one of the primary indicators of RED-S, is unknown in this athletic population. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of current (previous 12 months) amenorrhea among elite level competitive sport climbers.

An anonymous online survey was distributed
email to 1,500 female climbers registered as competitors within the International Federation of Sport Climbing to assess the prevalence of amenorrhea over the past 12 months.

A total of 114 female sport climbers answered all survey questions regarding menstrual function and 18 athletes (15.8%) presented with current amenorrhea. The majority of the athletes (72%;
= 82) were categorized with eumenorrhea.
