Physical Activity Linked to Lower Cardiovascular Mortality in MASLD

A study found that higher moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality among individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.

Ultrasound-Guided Drainage Treats Deep Neck Abscesses

A multicentre study found that ultrasound-guided catheter drainage successfully treated 84.5% of patients with deep neck space abscesses. Serious associated events independently predicted treatment failure.

Epigenetic Ageing in Preterm Children Linked to Neurodevelopment

Epigenetic age acceleration was associated with higher cognitive and motor scores in children born preterm, while severe brain injury modified the relationship with motor development.

Higher BMI May Explain Lower Breastfeeding Rates in Diabetes

Breastfeeding rates were similar in women with Type 2 diabetes and BMI-matched controls, but lower than normal-BMI controls.

Hyperkalaemia Affects 28% of Patients with Heart Failure

A study of patients with heart failure found hyperkalaemia in 28%, with CKD significantly associated with elevated potassium. RAAS inhibitor and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist prescriptions showed no association.
