Sex-specific prediction models help estimate pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma risk in diabetes

18 Jan 2022

The risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) appears to be higher among individuals with diabetes than in the general population, as well as in men than women, according to a study. Prediction models built around this finding demonstrate moderate accuracy for pinpointing men at high risk of PDAC, in whom surveillance may be required.

Depression, antiseizure medication side effects take toll on epileptic patients’ quality of life

17 Jan 2022 by

Among patients with epilepsy, quality of life (QOL) declines with antiseizure medication (ASM) polytherapy, and this effect is mediated by depression and the side effects of ASMs, as reported in a study.

Better diet quality linked to longer lifespan

17 Jan 2022 by

A higher quality of diet appears to decelerate epigenetic age acceleration, which partially explains the beneficial effect of diet on prolonged lifespans, according to a study. This effect seems to be more noticeable for those with a smoking history.

Patients receptive to home-based cardiac telerehabilitation programs

17 Jan 2022 by

Patients seem to have positive opinions of home-based cardiac telerehabilitation programs, finding the usability, utility, and acceptability of such interventions to be good, according to a recent Singapore study. Nevertheless, these programs still have room for improvement, particularly as regards interactivity, peer interactions, and postintervention support.

Visceral fat density shows stronger association with NAFLD incidence than visceral fat area

17 Jan 2022

The visceral fat area (VFA) index and visceral fat density (VFD) are independently related to the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), according to a study. However, the VFD appears to have a stronger link to the incidence of NAFLD than the VFA index.
