To fill the knowledge gap of the relation between long-term dietary sodium intake and type 2 diabetes (T2D), we evaluate the association between the frequency of adding salt to foods, a surrogate marker for evaluating the long-term sodium intake, and incident T2D risk. ⋯ Our findings for the first time indicate that higher frequency of adding salt to foods, a surrogate marker for a person's long-term salt taste preference and intake, is associated with a higher T2D risk.

ReviewDiagnosis and Management of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic neurologic disease often preceded by infection. There has been increased interest in ME/CFS recently because of its significant overlap with the post-COVID syndrome (long COVID or post-acute sequelae of COVID), with several studies estimating that half of patients with post-COVID syndrome fulfill ME/CFS criteria. Our concise review describes a generalist approach to ME/CFS, including diagnosis, evaluation, and management strategies.

Multicenter StudyPrevalence of and Risk Factors for Post-traumatic Headache in Civilian Patients After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A TRACK-TBI Study.
To ascertain the prevalence of and risk factors for post-traumatic headache (PTH) attributed to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). ⋯ Post-traumatic headache is a prevalent sequela of mTBI that persists for at least 12 months in a considerable proportion of affected individuals. The attributable burden necessitates better patient follow-up, disease characterization, improved awareness of PTH in clinical practice, and identification of effective therapies.

Obesity, Cardiorenal Comorbidities, and Risk of Hospitalization in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.
To compare clinical features of patients with obesity-related heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) with those of patients with similar body mass index (BMI) but no HF and to examine the association between degree of obesity and risk for hospitalizations. ⋯ Among persons with obesity, increasing cardiorenal dysfunction and volume overload differentiate those with HFpEF. Among persons with established HFpEF, those with higher degree of obesity are younger and have fewer cardiovascular comorbidities but display a unique increased risk of HF-related hospitalizations, even as risk for other hospitalizations is not different.
