Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is a relatively rare but potentially fatal liver disorder of late pregnancy. Recent advances in molecular diagnostic procedures provide evidence of a genetic basis for this condition and a link to offspring disorders in fatty acid oxidation. This relationship implies the need for genetic testing and follow-up of at-risk women and their neonates.

Toxoplasmosis induced by Toxoplasma gondii is a well-known health threat, that prompts fatal encephalitis increased with immunocompromised patients, in addition, it can cause chorioretinitis, microcephaly, stillbirth in the fetus and even led to death. Standard therapy uses sulfadiazine and pyrimethamine drugs revealed beneficial results during the acute stage, however, it has severe side effects. UPLC-ESI-MS/MS used to explore C.

Background: Multiple AD risk genes are implicated in lipid metabolism, and plasma and brain lipid levels are altered in AD. Astrocytes are enriched in key lipid-related factors and are likely contributors to altered lipid homeostasis in AD. We hypothesize that APP/Aβ-related pathology and neuroimmune factors modulate astrocytic gene transcription that promote maladaptive changes in lipid pathways, including aberrant astrocytic production and release of lipids that could affect Aβ pathology and neuronal deficits.

Background: While disease-modifying treatments that reduce Aβ have been recently approved by the FDA, the identification of novel therapeutic targets and strategies that target underlying mechanisms to delay the AD development are still needed. Abnormal brain energy homeostasis and mitochondria dysfunction are observed early in AD. Therefore, the development of treatments to restore these defects could be beneficial.

Purpose Of Review: This review summarizes recent literature falling broadly under the topic of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the oncology setting, highlighting emerging themes and emphasizing novel explorations.
Recent Findings: Meta-analyses continue to confirm safety and efficacy of n-3 PUFA supplementation on reducing inflammation and improving survival in people with cancer. Common themes in recent studies emphasize improving tumor-directed efficacy and reducing toxicities of common cancer therapies.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) can progress to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and subsequently to renal fibrosis. Poor repair of renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) after injury is the main cause of renal fibrosis. Studies have shown that restoring damaged fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) can reduce renal fibrosis.
