Background: Endurance athletes require tailored nutrition strategies to optimize performance, recovery, and training adaptations. While traditional sports nutrition guidelines provide a foundational framework, individual variability in metabolic responses underscores the need for precision nutrition, informed by genetic, biological, and environmental factors. This scoping review evaluates the application of systems biology-driven sports nutrition for endurance athletes, focusing on 'omics' and wearable technologies.

- - A study assessed the presence and distribution of 43 pharmaceutical compounds (PhACs) in the Sava River (Croatia) focusing on their potential to bioaccumulate in fish and the environmental risks associated with this.
- - Utilizing a specific LC-MS/MS method, researchers found that PhAC residues varied significantly between water and fish samples, with major antibiotics rising in prevalence near wastewater discharge areas, while upstream, psychostimulants and opioids were common.
- - The study highlighted varying bioconcentration factors (BCFs) of PhACs in different fish tissues, with some compounds showing moderate to moderately high BCFs, indicating their significance for environmental risk assessments, particularly with the influence of biotransformation processes.
Chylothorax represents the accumulation of chyle in the pleural cavity due to leakage from the thoracic duct or its tributaries. Intraoperative intrathoracic lymphatic injury is a common cause, but it can also occur on its own. Management of chylothorax involves both medical therapy and, in some cases, surgery for postoperative patients and those who haven't responded to medical therapy.

Areas Covered: This article discusses the benefits and risks of OCP-based therapy, highlighting the possible undesirable effects, especially in those patients exhibiting risk factors as women with PCOS, and the importance of carefully evaluated tailored therapeutic approaches. Literature searches were performed with the use of PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science between January and February 2024.
Hormonal Therapies before in vitro fertilization in women with endometriosis: The Minotaur's Labyrinth and the Ariadne's Thread.

Article Synopsis
- Endometriosis-related infertility is a widely discussed issue in reproductive medicine, particularly concerning how hormonal treatments can impact assisted reproduction technologies (ART) success rates for these patients.
- Recent research highlights several medications, such as GnRH agonists and progestins, with mixed results and concerns over study biases.
- Current findings indicate GnRH agonists may help stage III/IV endometriosis patients, while progestin-based protocols show similar effectiveness; aromatase inhibitors seem to have limited value, especially for those who haven't succeeded in ART before.
