Over the last fifteen years, numerous studies have sought to decipher the role of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A (Lp-PLA) in vascular inflammation-related diseases, notably atherosclerosis. Despite the disappointing results of clinical trials using the Lp-PLA inhibitor darapladib, new pathophysiological, epidemiological and genetic data have enabled the development of new inhibitors. Recent studies also show that Lp-PLA is involved in vascular inflammation-related diseases other than atherosclerosis (ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia, diabetes, cancers…), and inhibition of Lp-PLA could have beneficial therapeutic in these diseases.

Castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer remains lethal and a therapeutic challenge. Current strategies are geared towards the personalization of treatments based on the identification of relevant molecular targets, including genomic alterations involved in tumoral processes. Among these novel targeted therapies, poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi), by blocking the action of enzymes involved in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair, induce the destruction of cells carrying defects in homologous recombination repair, often associated with alterations in genes involved in this mechanism.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have recently become the standard of care for many metastatic solid tumors, with considerable improvements in patient prognosis. However, a non-negligible proportion of patients does not respond to this type of treatment, making it essential to identify predictive factors of this response in order to better adapt the therapy. Among the biomarkers that have been most extensively studied in recent years, tumor PD-L1 levels come out on top, with controversial results for predicting response to ICI.

Un nombre croissant de jeunes s'identifient comme transgenres ou de diverses identités de genre. De nombreux pédiatres et dispensateurs de soins de première ligne accueilleront cette population dans leur pratique, dans le cadre de soins liés au genre ou de soins de santé généraux. Le présent document de principes se veut une ressource pour orienter les pédiatres et les dispensateurs de soins de première ligne à adopter une approche d'affirmation pour la prestation des soins réguliers à tous les jeunes.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is or gliflozins) are now considered as a therapeutic breakthrough in clinical practice, not only for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but also for the treatment of heart failure and chronic renal disease. Patients with T2D are exposed to a higher risk of atheromatic lesions, heart failure and renal insufficiency, all complications that can be reduced by a gliflozin as shown in several placebo- controlled randomised trials in at high risk patients. Unexpectedly, such cardio-renal protection has also been observed among non-diabetic patients with heart failure (both with reduced and preserved ejection fraction) or with chronic kidney disease (especially with albuminuria).
