Background: The impact of chronic exercise on cardiometabolic risk is a crucial aspect of public health. However, limited knowledge exists regarding differences in cardiometabolic parameters between older athletes, older controls, and sedentary or active young controls.
Methods: A comprehensive search in major databases until October 2024 was conducted for studies comparing older athletes with older controls or with both sedentary and active younger adults.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on patients who had surgery for high-risk intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) that included a mural module, focusing on the relationship between dysplasia grade and the mural module location.
- The research involved 82 patients, revealing that nearly half had high-grade dysplasia or invasive carcinoma away from the mural module, indicating that local treatment might not be safe or effective.
- The results suggest that pancreatectomy (removal of part or all of the pancreas) remains the best treatment option due to the potential risks associated with localized treatments.
Article Synopsis
- Disorders of sexual development (DSDs) in dogs, especially prevalent in French Bulldogs, stem from genetic issues and breeding practices affecting genetic diversity.
- A study on a French Bulldog with ambiguous genitalia utilized advanced genetic techniques and identified a potential connection to a known mutation linked to sex reversal syndrome, along with unusual genetic variants.
- The results emphasize a higher level of homozygosity in the affected dog, suggesting inbreeding, and call for improved dog genome annotations and responsible breeding practices to manage genetic health.
Repeat breeder (RB) cows are clinically healthy animals with regular oestrous cycles that do not become pregnant after three or more services. This syndrome has an incidence ranging between 10.1% and 24%.

- Heat stress significantly impacts canine reproductive performance and overall health, leading to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and sperm dysfunction.
- A study conducted on 36 male dogs compared those exposed to heat stress (HS) with those in stable temperatures (TN) over 90 days, measuring various health parameters.
- Results indicated HS dogs experienced decreased protein and antioxidant levels, increased ROS in sperm, and reduced semen quality compared to TN dogs, particularly noticeable after 30 days.
