Comparison of smokers' mortality with non-smokers following out-of-hospital cardiac arrests: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: After experiencing OHCAs, smokers had lower mortality than non-smokers. However, due to the lack of data, this 'smoker's paradox' still needs other covariate effects and further studies to be considered valid.PMID:38671493 | PMC:PMC11055319 | DOI:10.1186/s41043-024-00510-w (Source: Journal of Health, Population, and Nutrition)

Impact of Prior COVID-19 Infections on Cardiac Rehabilitation Completion Rates and Outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: Having a prior COVID-19 infection did not negatively impact the mental and physical health benefits obtained by completing the CR program, regardless of the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation risk category.PMID:38669342 | DOI:10.1097/HCR.0000000000000841 (Source: Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention)

Isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection with concomitant vascular aberrancy: Extremely rare cases and clinical implications
CONCLUSION: Vascular aberrancy may be a new identified risk factor for ISMAD. Even in ISMAD cases with vascular aberrancy, conservative treatment still can be used as first line therapy.PMID:38664953 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241251426 (Source: Vascular)

Characterization of mass distribution in a biomimetic aerosol exposure system
CONCLUSIONS: We estimate the fraction of yield to the mouth deposited at several locations throughout the system for a variety of puffing and respiration topographies and show that emissions topography profile and system flow path geometry affect dose. This work provides proof-of-concept for assessing mass distribution as a function of aerosol generator (e-cigarette product), user airway geometry, and inhalation and puffing topography.PMID:38669189 | DOI:10.1080/08958378.2024.2341995 (Source: Inhalation Toxicology)

Physical activity and mental health of medical students
CONCLUSION: A high percentage of medical faculty students (86.6%) are physically active. Differences in the level of physical activity were observed between students of these five universities as well as between students with different levels of physical activity.PMID:38669156 | DOI:10.21101/cejph.a8097 (Source: Central European Journal of Public Health)

Health status in selected post-communist European countries: a comparative study between Poland and Albania
CONCLUSIONS: This analysis provides useful information about the current health status of two populations pertinent to the former Communist Bloc in CEE. While health indicators can provide important information about the differences in health status between populations, it is important to interpret these indicators in the context of the specific challenges and limitations facing each country.PMID:38669160 | DOI:10.21101/cejph.a7804 (Source: Central European Journal of Public Health)
