💪 Exercise + Diet = Hormone & Lipid Changes in Obese Women

Dr. Elif Bengin et al. explored how exercise and different nutrition types influence key metabolic (leptin, ghrelin, irisin, asprosin, subfatin) and lipid profiles in obese women over a 6‑week intervention.

Highlights:
🔥 Exercise + diet significantly improved body weight, BMI, and lipid profiles
🧠 Hormonal shifts — notable changes in leptin, ghrelin, subfatin levels
📉 Irisin & asprosin showed smaller, but promising, trends
📊 Supports tailored lifestyle interventions for obesity management

Valuable insights for clinicians, fitness and nutrition professionals aiming to optimize metabolic health.

🌟 & : What’s the Evidence?

Can probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics help patients with cystic fibrosis? Freiser Eceomo Cruz Mosquera et al. reviewed 13 RCTs to find out.

8 citations📚 | Available: https://brnw.ch/21wYXmb

Key takeaways:
🔬 Some promise – reductions in inflammation reported in several trials
⚠️ Mixed results – no consistent improvements in lung function or exacerbations
✅ Safe – well-tolerated with no serious adverse events
📈 Next steps – larger, longer trials needed to define their role

A concise guide for pulmonologists, dietitians, and CF care teams exploring microbiome-based strategies.

🎯 | Rare Sarcomas in Focus

Pleomorphic liposarcoma is rare, aggressive, and notoriously difficult to diagnose—yet diagnostic precision is critical for patient outcomes.

Ana-Maria Ciongariu et al.’s review unravels the histopathological and immunohistochemical markers that distinguish from other high-grade and explains why getting the diagnosis right truly matters.

Key takeaways:
🔬 Histology & IHC are pivotal – avoiding misdiagnosis with other pleomorphic tumors
🧬 Subtype-specific behavior – pathology directly impacts prognosis and treatment
⚠️ High recurrence & metastasis risk – demands accurate classification and close follow-up
🩺 Current standard of care – surgical excision + radiotherapy
📈 Future directions – refined markers for tailored diagnosis and therapeutic innovation

For clinicians, pathologists, and oncology researchers, this review provides a clear framework for navigating one of the most challenging soft tissue sarcomas.

📄General Treatments Promoting Independent Living in Parkinson’s Patients and Physical Therapy Approaches for Improving Gait
👨‍⚕️by Dae-Hwan Lee et al.

11 citations 📚 | 10,400 views 👀

💡This study delves into the multifaceted approaches to treating (PD), a primarily affecting motor function but also manifesting in a variety of symptoms that vary greatly among individuals. The complexity of PD symptoms necessitates a comprehensive treatment strategy that integrates surgical interventions, , and physical therapy to tailor to the unique needs of each patient. Surgical options, such as (DBS), have been pivotal for patients not responding adequately to medication, offering significant symptom relief. Pharmacotherapy remains a cornerstone of PD management, utilizing drugs like levodopa, dopamine agonists, and others to manage symptoms and, in some cases, slow down disease progression.

✨Systematic Review
📚Effectiveness of , , and Symbiotic Supplementation in Cystic Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Clinical Trials
📈 8 citations
✍️ by Freiser Eceomo Cruz Mosquera et al.
🔗https://brnw.ch/21wYUMn

💡Conclusions: Current evidence suggests that probiotics or synbiotics yield inconsistent clinical benefits in CF, although some reduction in inflammatory markers may occur. Larger, multicenter RCTs with longer follow-up are needed for clearer conclusions. Until more definitive evidence is available, these supplements should be considered experimental adjuncts rather than standard interventions for CF management.

⏲️A 10-min time on scene to any ROSC is a crucial time-related factor for achieving any ROSC, and indirectly admission ROSC and survival to hospital discharge, and represents a golden time interval spent on scene in the management of OHCA patients. A similar effect has a time interval of 17 min from an emergency call. Further investigations should be focused on factors influencing these time intervals, especially time spent on scene.
