There was no significant change in diastolic blood pressure after 8 weeks of resistance training in both groups.

Practitioners should note that while systolic BP decreases, diastolic BP may not be affected by resistance training in this population.

Utilization of anti-obesity agents is rising in reproductive-age females planning for future pregnancy.

Practitioners should be aware of the increasing use of anti-obesity agents in this population.

The definitive role of assisting weight loss with medication prior to pregnancy remains to be established.

Further research is needed to clarify the role of anti-obesity medications in weight loss for women prior to pregnancy.

Clinicians are generally ill-equipped to advise patients on effective, longitudinal weight loss strategies.

There is a need for better tools and training for clinicians in weight loss strategies.

Central blood pressure (BP) correlates more with future cardiovascular risk than peripheral BP.

Practitioners should consider central BP measurements for assessing cardiovascular risk in obese patients.

There is no definitive evidence of causality between ultra-processed foods and adverse health outcomes.

Practitioners should be cautious in making definitive claims about UPFs and health outcomes.

The authors propose a paradigm for guiding the formulation of UPFs and their selection by consumers.

Food designers and consumers should consider this paradigm to improve UPF choices.

The addition of 5% watermelon seed flour (WSF) to low-carbohydrate, high-protein bread enhances its volume compared to the control sample.

Incorporating 5% WSF can improve the volume of low-carb, high-protein bread.

The amino acid profile of bread with 5% WSF is higher than that of the control bread.

Using WSF can enhance the amino acid content of bread, beneficial for nutrition.

Most upper airway anatomy was significantly associated with BMI among patients with OSA.

Practitioners should consider the impact of BMI on upper airway anatomy when assessing OSA.

All pharyngeal soft tissues were larger with greater BMI, including the volumes of the tongue, soft palate, and lateral walls.

Increased soft tissue volume with higher BMI should be considered in OSA management.

Female sex, older age, and lower BMI were associated with subsequent lower muscle density in older community-dwelling adults.

Practitioners should consider sex, age, and BMI when assessing muscle density in older adults.

Lower FMD was related to increased risk of previous fracture.

Monitoring FMD may help identify individuals at higher risk for fractures.

Changes in muscle density over time might precede adverse outcomes such as falls and fractures.

Practitioners should monitor muscle density as a potential indicator of future health risks.

Average speed, power output, and mean heart rate were not significantly different across the trials.

Cyclists can maintain consistent performance metrics regardless of perceived distance.

The post-ACCORD era represents a significant shift in the landscape of cardiovascular outcomes trials (CVOTs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), emphasizing the safety of glucose-lowering agents.

Practitioners should prioritize the safety profiles of glucose-lowering agents in T2DM management.

Patients with persistent complete concentric velopharyngeal collapse in the supine position had a mean apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) of 54.7 events/h, significantly higher than the 60 patients without such collapse in position 4, who had a mean AHI of 35.5 events/h.

Clinicians should consider the severity of velopharyngeal collapse when assessing sleep apnea treatment options.

The degree of velum and tongue base obstruction was significantly associated with sleep apnea severity in positions 2, 3, and 4 after adjusting for age, BMI, tonsil size, and tongue position.

Understanding the specific obstructions can guide targeted treatments for sleep apnea.

The study demonstrated the feasibility, safety, and usefulness of using a simple edge‐to‐edge, reusable oral appliance in drug-induced sleep endoscopy.

Oral appliances may be a viable option for patients undergoing sleep apnea evaluation.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors provide cardiovascular and renal protection in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Practitioners should consider SGLT2 inhibitors as a treatment option for cardiovascular and renal protection in T2DM patients.

Conventional antihyperglycemic medications have minimal effect on lowering cardiovascular risk in T2DM patients.

Practitioners should be aware that conventional medications may not effectively reduce cardiovascular risk in T2DM patients.

Exploration of variation in responses to interventions can enhance understanding of generalizability of effects.

Practitioners should explore variation in responses to improve the applicability of their findings.

Powerlifting does not seem to affect shoulder, hip, or knee range of motion differently than recreational resistance training in women.

Practitioners can consider that powerlifting does not limit joint range of motion compared to general resistance training.

Single-joint range of motion was not an effective predictor of strength in female powerlifters.

Strength training programs may not need to focus on improving ROM as a means to enhance strength in female powerlifters.
