Article Synopsis
- Pediatric liver transplant recipients may have a higher risk of cardiovascular issues, particularly shown by increased carotid intima-media thickness compared to healthy peers.
- The study involved 42 recipients coping with metabolic syndrome markers and examined their cardiovascular health against 82 healthy controls.
- Only a small percentage (6.25%) were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, with specific associations found between body mass index and carotid thickness, but not with several other factors like age or liver fibrosis.
Background: Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a harmful practice prevalent in 35 countries, mainly in Africa, as well as in some Middle Eastern countries and a few Asian countries. FGM comprises all procedures that involve partial or complete resection of, or other injury to, external female genitalia for non-medical reasons. The practice of FGM has spread to Western countries due to migration.

Objectives: To study whether early-life exposures modify the genetic influence on atopic diseases in a twin population.
Methods: Questionnaire data on atopic diseases from 850 monozygotic and 2279 like-sex dizygotic twin pairs, 3-9 years of age, from the Danish Twin Registry were cross-linked with data on prematurity, Cesarean section, maternal age at birth, parental cohabitation, season of birth and maternal smoking during pregnancy, from the Danish National Birth Registry.
