Abstract	There is a continuous worldwide increase in incidences of metabolic syndrome (MetS) reaching about a quarter of the world's population. Thus, studies that allow for a robust diagnosis of MetS are of paramount importance from an economic and medical point of view. This study was carried out in a group of men diagnosed with MetS using consensus definition criteria that included the definitions of the International Diabetes Foundation and Diabetes Federation and the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. The control group consisted of men for whom the parameters that define the MetS were in the norm. This study analyzed statistical differences between MetS and healthy men and the correlations between the set of 14 potential markers of MetS, that is, between body mass index, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, cortisol, adiponectin, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), C-reactive protein (CRP), adipsin, leptin, resistin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI)-1. This report revealed a significant difference between MetS and healthy men in most of the parameters studied. Furthermore, a strong positive correlation between cortisol levels and body mass index was demonstrated. Furthermore, MCP-1 levels in men with MetS were significantly higher than their levels in healthy men. Finally, a strong positive correlation was also observed between adiponectin and adipsin in Mets men. Thus, this study reveals the potential usefulness of adiponectin, MCP-1, adipsin, leptin, resistin, and PAI-1 as markers of MetS in adult men.

Abstract	Amino-terminal pro-C-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proCNP) is the N-terminal fragment of the CNP precursor. NT-proCNP occurs in an equimolar concentration with CNP in human plasma and is considered to be a marker of the extent of CNP biosynthesis. A recent study has shown associations between plasma NT-proCNP and blood pressure; it is also an independent predictor of death and cardiac readmission in people with unstable angina. Beyond that, recent studies have focused on the applicability of assessing NT-proCNP peptide levels in the diagnosis of diseases with different etiologies but the same denominator, i.e., inflammation. This study reviewed recent results on the usability of NT-proCNP peptide levels in the diagnosis of diseases accompanied by statistical analysis of previously reported results. The data obtained confirmed the applicability of the assessment of NT-proCNP levels in biological fluids in diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, sepsis, meningitis, and asthenozoospermia. The reported results demonstrated that NT-proCNP is helpful in a variety of diseases. Furthermore, changes in serum or CSF levels of NT-proCNP reflect only inflammatory states related to general inflammation. Local inflammation does not trigger an increase in NT-proCNP level.

Abstract: This study aimed to analyze the influence of supervised 12-week walking (W) and Nordic-walking (NW) programs on changes in specific physiological parameters in middle-aged women 55.40±7.87 and 52.58±6.91 years of age, respectively. Body mass, fat tissue ... ...

Abstract	This study aimed to analyze the influence of supervised 12-week walking (W) and Nordic-walking (NW) programs on changes in specific physiological parameters in middle-aged women 55.40±7.87 and 52.58±6.91 years of age, respectively. Body mass, fat tissue percentage, muscle tissue percentage, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, resting pulse, and maximum oxygen uptake were measured at the beginning and end of the exercise program. Intra- and intergroup differences in physiological parameters as a function of the preparation period were analyzed using bootstrap analysis. Clinically reliable changes for a specific subject in the W and NW programs were analyzed using the Reliable Change Index (RCI). The results of this study indicate that more distinct differences were observed in the NW group. However, both programs improved the parameters studied. Nevertheless, an analysis of the RCI indicates that the W provides results similar to, if not better than, NW for increasing neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and cardiorespiratory fitness. This study leads us to the conclusion that the W is not less efficient than the NW for middle-aged women.

Abstract	This study evaluates the applicability of S100B levels, mean maximum velocity (Vmean) over time, pulsatility index (PI), intracranial pressure (ICP), and body temperature (T) for the prediction of the treatment of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Sixty patients defined by the Glasgow Coma Scale score ≤ 8 were stratified using the Glasgow Coma Scale into 2 groups: favorable (FG: Glasgow Outcome Scale ≥ 4) and unfavorable (UG: Glasgow Outcome Scale < 4). The S100B concentration was at the time of hospital admission. Vmean was measured using transcranial Doppler. PI was derived from a transcranial Doppler examination. T was measured in the temporal artery. The differences in mean between FG and UG were tested using a bootstrap test of 10,000 repetitions with replacement. Changes in S100B, Vmean, PI, ICP, and T levels stratified by the group were calculated using the one-way aligned rank transform for nonparametric factorial analysis of variance. The reference ranges for the levels of S100B, Vmean, and PI were 0.05 to 0.23 µg/L, 30.8 to 73.17 cm/s, and 0.62 to 1.13, respectively. Both groups were defined by an increase in Vmean, a decrease in S100B, PI, and ICP levels; and a virtually constant T. The unfavorable outcome is defined by significantly higher levels of all parameters, except T. A favorable outcome is defined by S100B < 3 mg/L, PI < 2.86, ICP > 25 mm Hg, and Vmean > 40 cm/s. The relationships provided may serve as indicators of the results of the TBI treatment.

Abstract	Aging is an independent risk factor for the development of various diseases associated, among others, with detrimental blood levels of fat- and water-soluble vitamins. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate age-related changes in blood levels of vitamin A, B12, C, D, and E. Subject serum vitamin levels were obtained from the combined National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES). NHANESIII and NHANES 1999-2000, 2001-2002, 2003-2004, and 2005-2006. The raw data set was stratified into five age groups G1- G5: 20 ≤ G1 < 30, 30 ≤ G2 < 40, 40 ≤ G3 < 50, 50 ≤ G4 < 60, and 60 ≤ G5 < 70 years of age. Age stratified data was cleaned using the modified Horn algorithm. The reference range for the vitamin level of a specific age group was defined as data between the first and third quartile of the subject defined by normal blood pressure and normal bone density. Age-dependent changes in serum/plasma vitamin levels were assessed using the bootstrap technique with 10,000 repeats and Bonferroni adjustment. There was a continuous increase in vitamin A, B12, D, and E levels in the blood. However, the vitamin C concentration remained virtually constant in all age groups. There was a lack of cross-correlations between lipid and water-soluble vitamin levels and blood pressure and bone health. The following reference levels for vitamin A, B12, C, D, and E in subjects older than 20 years of age were established: vitamin A: 1.32-2.8 mmol/L, vitamin B12: 257.94-498.33 pmol/L, vitamin C: 38.18-79.2 mmol/L, vitamin D: 76.33-199.36 nmol/L and vitamin E: 3.65-41.12 μmol/L.

Abstract	Background: There are more than 228,394,572 confirmed cases and 4,690,186 confirmed deaths caused by COVID-19 worldwide. The magnitude of the COOVID-19 pandemic has stimulated research on the treatment and diagnosis of COVID-19 patients. Objective: In this report, a battery of specific parameters was used to develop a model that allows prediction of the outcome of the COVID-19 treatment. These parameters are C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, fibrinogen, D-dimers, immature granulocytes, and interleukin-6. Methods: The study was carried out on a sample of N = 49 survivors (22 men, 27 women) and 83 deceased patients (62 men, 21 women). The distribution of means and differences in means of the parameters studied between survivors and deceased patients were evaluated using the bootstrap method. Results: A mathematical model that allows for the prediction of hospitalization outcome was obtained using the Naive Bayes model. The results demonstrated a statistically significant difference between survivors and deceased patients in all parameters studied. A mathematical model employing a battery of parameters provided a 97% precision in predicting the outcome of hospitalization. Conclusion: This study showed that the cross-correlation of survivability with absolute levels of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, fibrinogen, D-dimers, immature granulocytes, and interleukin-6 could be used successfully in the hospital setting as a diagnostic tool.

Abstract	The high frequency of traumatic brain injury imposes severe economic stress on health and insurance services. The objective of this study was to analyze the association between the serum S100B protein, the Gosling pulsatility index (PI), and the level of oxygen saturation at the tip of the internal jugular vein (SjVO2%) in patients diagnosed with severe TBI. The severity of TBI was assessed by a GCS score ≤ 8 stratified by Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) measured on the day of discharge from the hospital. Two groups were included: GOS < 4 (unfavorable group (UG)) and GOS ≥ 4 (favorable group (UG)). S100B levels were higher in the UG than in the FG. PI levels in the UG were also substantially higher than in the FG. There were similar levels of SjVO2 in the two groups. This study confirmed that serum S100B levels were higher in patients with unfavorable outcomes than in those with favorable outcomes. Moreover, a clear demarcation in PI between unfavorable and FGs was observed. This report shows that mortality and morbidity rates in patients with traumatic brain injury can be assessed within the first 4 days of hospitalization using the S100B protein, PI values, and SjVO2.
