Methods to estimate body temperature and energy expenditure dynamics in fed and fasted laboratory mice: effects of sleep deprivation and light exposure
AbstractMonitoring body temperature and energy expenditure in freely-moving laboratory mice remains a powerful methodology used widely across a variety of disciplines –including circadian biology, sleep research, metabolic phenotyping, and the study of body temperature regulation. Some of the most pronounced changes in body temperature are observed when small heterothermic species reduce their body temperature during daily torpor. Daily torpor is an energy savi ng strategy characterized by dramatic reductions in body temperature employed by mice and other species when challenged to meet energetic demands. Typical measure...

Challenging and target-based shifting strategies for heart failure treatment: An update from the last decades
Biochem Pharmacol. 2024 Apr 20:116232. doi: 10.1016/j.bcp.2024.116232. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHeart failure (HF) is a major global health problem afflicting millions worldwide. Despite the significant advances in therapies and prevention, HF still carries very high morbidity and mortality, requiring enormous healthcare-related expenditure, and the search for new weapons goes on. Following initial treatment strategies targeting inotropism and congestion, attention has focused on offsetting the neurohormonal overactivation and three main therapies, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II t...

Relationship between cachexia and short physical performance battery scores in patients with heart failure attending comprehensive outpatient cardiac rehabilitation
This study included 115 consecutive patients with HF (43% male; mean age, 78 ± 8 years) who underwent comprehensive outpatient CR. The cachexia status was assessed according to the definition proposed by the Asian Working Group on Cachexia in 2023. The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF) were used to evaluate m otor function of the lower limbs and nutritional status, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to examine the potential relationship between cachexia and low SPPB scores (≤ 9 points). The prevalence of cachexia was 30% i...

Fruitful changes? Exploring household fruit purchase decisions following comprehensive food policy regulations in Chile
This study analyzes whether, following the announcement, modification, and implementation of Chile's Food Labeling and Advertising law targeting highly processed food (occurring in 2012, 2015, and 2016, respectively), households improved their fruit purchase decisions: purchase participation (i.e., buying likelihood) and purchase quantity. Expenditure data from a representative sample of Chilean households were employed, covering two consecutive survey waves conducted in 2011/2012 and 2016/2017. After controlling for socioeconomic factors (e.g., prices and income), results indicate that only purchase participation increase...

Tobacco price elasticity by socioeconomic characteristics in Ecuador
This article aims to estimate the price and income elasticity of cigarettes for different population groups in Ecuador. The National Survey of Urban and Rural Household I ncome and Expenditures (ENIGHUR) 2011–2012 was used, which has information on household cigarette consumption and its sociodemographic characteristics. Deaton’s Almost Ideal Demand System, which decouples the effect of quality on the price of the good, was applied. The elasticities were calculat ed for several groups: urban/rural, income levels (tertiles), education level, sex and age ranges of the household head, and frequency of cigarette purchases ...

Healthcare Utilization and Its Correlates in Comorbid Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Generalized Anxiety Disorder
This study investigated the healthcare utilization and medical expenditure of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and identified the associated factors. The healthcare utilization and expenditure of T2DM patients with (case group) and without (control group) GAD between 2002 and 2013 were examined using the population-based Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Healthcare utilization included outpatient visits and hospitalization; health expenditure included outpatient, inpatient, and total medical expenditure. Moreover, nonpsychiatric healthcare utilization and me...
