Short- and long-term comparison of robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients with BMI≥30 kg/m2: A propensity score matched analysis
10-12-2023CONCLUSIONS: RG is a safe and feasible approach for gastric cancer with a BMI≥30 kg/m² and has better short-term clinical outcomes than LG. However, RG is similar to LG in terms of long-term prognosis.

METABOLIC SYNDROME AND ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL ADOLESCENTS IN NORTHEAST NIGERIA
10-12-2023CONCLUSION: This study showed that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was low in the overall study population but high among centrally obese adolescents. Metabolic syndrome occurred in normal weight and underweight participants. Low HDL-C was the commonest risk factor for metabolic syndrome and lifestyle and family medical history were not associated with metabolic syndrome.

Influence of age on clinical characteristics, pharmacological management and exacerbations in children with asthma
10-12-2023CONCLUSION: Children's baseline characteristics and exacerbation rates varied according to their age group. Clinical guidelines should consider age at time of diagnosis more discretely than the broad range, 5-16 years, as this appears to impact on asthma severity and management.

Assessing readiness for childhood obesity prevention in German municipalities: application of the community readiness model
10-12-2023The World Health Organization has identified childhood obesity as one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. Understanding a municipality's readiness to address it is crucial to achieve successful interventions. However, the preparedness of German municipalities to address childhood obesity has not yet been investigated. This study is the first in Germany to apply the community readiness model (CRM) in this context. The purpose was to determine readiness of five...

Recent advances in mechanistic studies of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and its comorbidities-Role of microRNAs
10-12-2023CONCLUSIONS: A customized strategy based on miRNAs has emerged as an effective treatment for HFpEF. In this review, we discuss recent research surrounding miRNAs and HFpEF and propose potential miRNA targets for the pathophysiology of HFpEF and its comorbidities. Although current research concerning miRNAs and their therapeutic potential is in its early stages, miRNA-based diagnostics and therapeutics hold great promise in the future.
