Objectives: To investigate differences in levels of plasma trans fatty acids (TFAs) and a broad set of other markers for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in the US adult population between 1999-2000 and 2009-2010.
Methods: Using a nationally representative sample of US adults aged 20 years and older from the 1999-2000 and 2009-2010 waves of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, regression models were estimated to compare levels of TFAs and other markers for CVD risk over time.
Results: Significant declines in levels of plasma TFAs and improvements in a variety of other markers for CVD risk were observed in the US adult population.
Conclusions: Between the 2 time points, 1999-2000 and 2009-2010, there were substantial decreases in TFA levels and improvements in several other important cardiovascular health indicators in US adults.

Objective: While earlier research has indicated that trans fatty acids (TFAs) are detrimental to cardiovascular health as well as other conditions, the purpose of this study is to look into any possible connections between trans fatty acids and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: The NHANES database provided the data for this study, covering two periods: 1999-2000 and 2009-2010. The correlation between plasma TFAs (linolelaidic acid, vaccenic acid, palmitelaidic acid, and elaidic acid) and RA was examined using weighted univariate and multivariate regression analyses as well as analysis of subgroups.

Background: Ovarian cancer survival in low- and middle-income countries is lower than in high-income countries, due to disparities in healthcare access and socioeconomic factors. This study aimed to describe trends in ovarian cancer survival in Sergipe, Northeast Brazil, by histological group.
Methods: We analysed data on 948 women aged 15-99 years diagnosed with a cancer of the ovary between 1996 and 2017, in Sergipe, Brazil.
Trends in Kidney Allograft Failure Among First-Time Transplant Recipients in the United States.

Section of Nephrology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas.
Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed trends in waitlisting, re-transplantation, and mortality rates among U.S. kidney transplant patients whose first graft failed, using data from the United States Renal Data System between 1990 and 2019.
- - Results showed that while the number of patients starting dialysis after graft failure increased, the rate of waitlisting for second transplants initially rose but later fell, and re-transplantation rates consistently decreased across the years.
- - Notably, there were disparities in outcomes based on gender and race, with women and minority groups (African-American and Hispanic patients) experiencing lower rates of waitlisting and re-transplantation compared to men and White patients.

Article Synopsis
- * The incidence of this breast cancer type rose from 70 to 113 per 100,000 women over the 29 years, with improvements in survival rates over time due to advancements in treatment methods.
- * Women diagnosed between 2015-2019 had a significantly lower risk of death compared to those diagnosed in the early '90s, highlighting the effectiveness of modern therapies like endocrine treatment in enhancing patient outcomes.
