Network analysis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder traits and mental health indicators in Brazilian adults.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by behavioral traits such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, has been widely associated with mental health impairments. However, the presence of these traits alone does not determine diagnosis, as they must also cause significant functional impairment for the individual to fulfill diagnostic criteria. Therefore, this study aimed at exploring how ADHD traits are associated with mental health...

Clinical features and outcomes of perianal disease in pediatric-onset Crohn's disease: A comparative analysis according to age at diagnosis.

Background This study aimed to investigate the clinical features, treatment responses, and outcomes of pediatric patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and perianal disease (PD) in China, with a particular focus on age at diagnosis. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 144 children diagnosed with CD between 2015 and 2024. Patients were divided into PD and non-PD groups and further stratified by age at diagnosis into very-early onset (VEO-IBD, < 6 years) and late-onset disease (LO; 6–18 years). The...

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is associated with reduced levels of biochemical bone status indices reflecting altered bone formation.

Introduction Individuals with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are at increased risk of impaired bone health and fractures. This prospective case-control study assessed bone mineral density (BMD) and bone and cartilage biomarkers in children with JIA and healthy controls. Methods Fifty-one individuals with well-characterized JIA (age 1.6–17.9 years) and 61 age-matched controls from the same region were included. Joint erosions were assessed radiographically, and BMD was measured by digital...

A Journey Map of Health Behaviour Decision-Making Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Who are Repeatedly Hospitalized: A Longitudinal Qualitative Study.

Background Health behaviour decision-making is central to type 2 diabetes mellitus management, but remains complex and context dependent after repeated hospitalisations. Research has focused on health behaviours and associated factors, overlooking patient-centred decision-making across care stages and limiting stage-specific decision support and continuity-of-care strategies. Methods A longitudinal qualitative study was conducted in mainland China, with data collected from October 2025 to Mar...

Neoadjuvant Apalutamide With or Without Abiraterone Acetate Plus Prednisone and Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist Prior to Nerve-Sparing Radical Prostatectomy in High-Risk Prostate Cancer: Protocol for a Randomized Phase 2 Trial.

Abstract Background Radical prostatectomy (RP) is an accepted, definitive treatment for appropriately selected men with high-risk localized prostate cancer (PCa). However, neoadjuvant androgen receptor inhibition prior to RP is not currently the standard of care. Wide resection of the neurovascular bundles may improve local oncologic control but can adversely affect postoperative erectile function and urinary continence. Apalutamide directly inhibits the androgen receptor, while abiraterone ac...

Non Pharmacological Pain Management in Sickle Cell Disease, a Narrative Review.

Background Pain is a major cause of morbidity, disability, and reduced quality of life among people living with sickle cell disease (SCD). Although pharmacological treatment remains essential, non pharmacological interventions may provide complementary strategies for pain coping and symptom management. However, the strength of evidence supporting individual interventions varies considerably. Objective This narrative review aimed to critically evaluate the evidence for non pharmacological inte...

Pandemic-Driven Mental Health Deterioration and Suicide Risk Among Health Science Students: A Longitudinal Cohort Study Unmasking the Trauma Multiplier Effect.

Background The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated an unprecedented mental health crisis among healthcare trainees—a population already burdened by academic and occupational stressors. The mediating role of prior trauma exposure in shaping longitudinal suicide risk trajectories remains critically underexplored. Objective To quantify pandemic-attributable deterioration in mental health and identify independent predictors of escalating suicide risk in a prospective health student cohort. Methods A...

Sleep in COPD: an understudied and clinically important issue.

This review provides an overview of objective and subjective sleep characteristics in the general chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) population and discusses associations with airway symptoms, psychological factors, quality of life, and common sleep disorders. Available studies indicate that patients with COPD often exhibit altered sleep architecture, including increased light sleep, reduced slow-wave and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, frequent arousals, reduced sleep efficiency, and...
