Long-term exposure to multiple air pollutants significantly heightened the risk of developing psoriasis, especially in those with a genetic predisposition, according to a new UK Biobank study involving over 451,000 participants. Over nearly 14 years, researchers found that individuals with high levels of air pollution exposure were at nearly double the risk of psoriasis if they also carried a high genetic risk score.

The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has emerged as a significant predictor of postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly hip fracture patients. An NLR cut point of ≥7.6 was identified, which correlated with a 2.75 times increased odds of developing POD, along with other factors such as previous stroke, surgical complications & prolonged hospital stay. Higher NLR levels were also linked to longer durations of POD.

A new study conducted over nine years revealed that compared to individuals without diabetes or depression, those with diabetes alone (aOR:1.245), depression alone (aOR:1.318), & those with both diabetes & depression (aOR:1.72) had a higher risk of CVD. Patients with diabetes & depression also had a 1.59-fold higher risk of all-cause mortality vs. those without these conditions.

Women with a history of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy were at a greater risk for major cardiovascular events following coronary artery stenting, revealed a new study. The risk escalated after 4-8 years post-stenting (HR 1.36), particularly among those with gestational hypertension, who had a more than 2-fold increased hazard (HR, 2.15). Targeted secondary prevention is crucial in this vulnerable population.
