Background: Atherosclerosis (AS) is increasingly recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease that significantly compromises vascular health and acts as a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases. Advancements in lipidomics and metabolomics have unveiled the complex role of fatty acid metabolism (FAM) in both healthy and pathological states. However, the specific roles of fatty acid metabolism-related genes (FAMGs) in shaping therapeutic approaches, especially in AS, remain largely unexplored and are a subject of ongoing research.

Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018 for ten consecutive years, including 18745 eligible participants. The weighted multivariate logistic model and fitting curve were used to explore the correlation and dose-response relationship between visceral adiposity index (VAI) and diabetes (DM) and prediabetes in the general population and the prevalence of different subgroups.
Article Synopsis
- Esophageal cancer is often diagnosed late due to inadequate early detection methods, which contributes to its high invasiveness and metastatic potential.
- A study tested a new diagnostic approach using contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) with Chitosan-FeO nanoparticles that target specific cancer-related receptors, aiming to identify early-stage tumors in 320 patients.
- The findings showed that this method significantly improved the sensitivity and accuracy of detecting esophageal cancer, allowing for better visualization of small tumors and leading to a higher survival rate for patients diagnosed early.
Background: After arthroplasty treatment, some complications commonly occur, such as early revision, infection/dislocation, and venous thromboembolism (VTE). This study aims to use a network meta-analysis to compare effects of 9 anticoagulant drugs (edoxaban, dabigatan, apixaban, rivaroxaban, warfarin, heparin, bemiparin, ximelagatran, and enoxaparin) in preventing postoperative complications in arthroplasty patients.
Methods: After retrieving PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library database from the inception to November 2016, randomized controlled trials were enrolled.
