Broiler breeder hens allowed ad libitum (Ad) feed intake developed obesity and cardiac pathogenesis and thereby were susceptible to sudden death. A supplement of 69 µg 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH-D3)/kg feed rescued the livability of feed-restricted (R) and Ad-hens (mortality; 6.7% vs.

- Brugada syndrome (BrS) increases the risk of sudden death due to dangerous heart rhythms and is characterized by specific ECG changes, notably ST-segment elevation in right precordial leads.
- A case involving a 51-year-old man with low potassium levels (hypokalemia) revealed that while treatment normalized potassium, the Brugada pattern on ECG remained unchanged, and his corrected QT interval was shorter during hypokalemia.
- This case suggests that hypokalemia can reveal the Brugada type-1 pattern without changing it, indicating that further research is needed to explore how hypokalemia could influence ventricular arrhythmias beyond just QT interval changes.
Postmenopausal women often experience hormonal changes and shifts in fat composition, affecting weight gain and obesity. Understanding the link between hormones, especially estrogen and leptin, is key to managing weight and lowering disease risk in menopausal women. The aim of this study was to compare the levels of leptin and estrone in menopausal women with normal weight and obesity.

- * The study aimed to investigate the connection between serum estradiol and CRP levels concerning genitourinary syndrome among menopausal women at a hospital in Medan, Indonesia, using various tests to measure hormone levels and assess symptoms.
- * Results showed no significant difference in estradiol levels between menopausal women with and without genitourinary syndrome, but CRP levels were significantly higher in those with the syndrome, indicating that monitoring CRP is crucial for identifying
