Aim: The risk factors for ischemic heart disease (IHD) or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in elderly diabetic individuals with type IIb dyslipidemia are not fully known. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between lipid levels and IHD and CVA in diabetic individuals with type IIb dyslipidemia.
Method: The Japan Cholesterol and Diabetes Mellitus Study is a prospective cohort study of 4014 type 2 diabetic patients (1936 women; age 67.4 ± 9.5 years). The primary end-points were the onset of IHD or CVA. Lipid and glucose levels, and other factors were investigated in relation to the occurrence of IHD or CVA. A total of 462 participants were included in the group of patients with type IIb dyslipidemia.
Results: The 462 diabetic participants with type IIb dyslipidemia were divided into those who were aged <65 years, 65-74 years and >75 years (n=168, 190 and 104, respectively). High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/HDL-C were significantly associated with the risk of cardiovascular events in diabetic individuals with type IIb dyslipidemia who were aged <65 years, and HDL-C and diastolic blood pressure was significantly associated with cardiovascular events in patients aged 65-74 years. Non-HDL-C was not significantly associated with the risk of cardiovascular events. Multiple regression analysis showed that lower HDL-C was significantly associated with the risk of cardiovascular events in diabetic individuals with type IIb dyslipidemia who were aged <65 years and 65-74 years.
Conclusions: Lower HDL-C was an important risk factor for cardiovascular events in diabetic individuals with type IIb dyslipidemia who were aged <75 years.

Interobserver and intraobserver variability among different vendors for mitral valve assessment: implications for transcatheter mitral valve repair.
Radiol Med
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic, 200 First Street SW, Rochester, MN, 55905, USA.
Purpose: Pre-procedural imaging is critical for transcatheter mitral valve repair planning in patients with mitral valve disease. As differences among various measurement techniques for valve evaluation are still poorly understood, we sought to assess the intra- and interobserver agreement of complex measurements derived from a prototype mitral evaluation tool (Siemens) and a commercially available tool (CVI42) using both saddle- and D-shaped mitral annulus techniques.
Materials And Methods: Multiphasic cardiac computed tomography angiography data were loaded into each software.
Evaluating One-Week Post-Casting Alignment Checks and Surgical Intervention Rates in Pediatric Type IIA Supracondylar Humeral Fractures.
Iowa Orthop J
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.
Background: This study aims to determine the rate of surgical intervention in children with type IIA supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHF) following routine post-casting radiographic assessment. We hypothesized that no cases would convert to operative management following one-week post-casting alignment assessments.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study focused on pediatric patients diagnosed with type IIA SCHF from 2019 to 2022.
The Added Role of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Staging Uterine Cervical Cancer.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Radiology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, Craiova, ROU.
Background: Cervical cancer is considered one of the most common gynecological malignancies with an increased incidence in developing countries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a valuable role in staging cervical cancer and providing valuable information necessary for selecting the appropriate treatment plan, while closely correlating with the prognosis of the patient.
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the preoperative loco-regional staging of cervical carcinoma.
Fragment-specific Plate Fixation in a Case of Mayo Type IIB Olecranon Fracture: A Case Report.
J Orthop Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
Introduction: Olecranon fractures account for 5-7% of elbow fractures, making them a common injury. The majority of these fractures are treated surgically because they are intra-articular and can disrupt the elbow extensor mechanism. Mayo Type II fractures are displaced with a stable ulnohumeral joint, indicating intact ligamentous structures, particularly the anterior portion of the medial collateral ligament.

Background: There are no approved oral disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess efficacy and safety of blarcamesine (ANAVEX®2-73), an orally available small-molecule activator of the sigma-1 receptor (SIGMAR1) in early AD through restoration of cellular homeostasis including autophagy enhancement.
Design: ANAVEX2-73-AD-004 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 48-week Phase IIb/III trial.
