In recent research, higher blood eosinophil counts were associated with a swifter decline in lung function among individuals without COPD or asthma, regardless of smoking status. Participants with elevated eosinophil counts had a greater annual decline in FEV1 (ranging from -23.3 to -26.8 mL) vs. those with lower counts. This link was particularly strong among younger individuals without prior lung disease history.

Adolescents with PCOS displayed higher mean BMI z-scores and truncal fat mass across midchildhood, early teen, and midteen visits compared to non-PCOS peers. Further analysis revealed elevated odds of PCOS with increased truncal fat during midchildhood (OR 1.42) and early teen visits (OR 1.61), while a diminished adiponectin/leptin ratio during midteen visits correlated with higher PCOS risk (OR 0.14).

- In T1DM patients, 8 metabolites had a significant link with diabetic retinopathy, diabetic kidney disease & distal symmetric polyneuropathy, & 6 of them increased the microvascular burden severity
- Higher levels of 3,4-dihydroxybutanoic acid (DHBA), 2,4-DHBA, ribonic acid, glycine, & ribitol were associated with microvascular events
- These metabolites may improve risk assessment for diabetes complications

- Wearing gloves reduced the risk for overall adverse events related to insertion compared to no gloves (aRR: 0.52)
- Catheter removal based on defined schedules resulted in a lower phlebitis/thrombophlebitis incidence (RR: 0.74) compared to clinically indicated removal in adults
- In neonates, chlorhexidine reduced the phlebitis score compared to non-chlorhexidine-containing disinfection (0.14 vs. 0.68, p = 0.003)
