Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite the clinical long-term and near-term benefits of lowering cholesterol in, respectively, primary and secondary prevention of ASCVD, cholesterol levels remain under-treated, with many patients not achieving their recommended targets. The present article will review the latest updates on lipid management with emphases on the different classes of cholesterol-lowering agents and their clinical uses.

Incidence, Prediction, and Prevention of Fractures After Kidney Transplantation: A Systematic Review Protocol.
Can J Kidney Health Dis
December 2024
Department of Medicine, Western University, London, ON, Canada.
Background: Kidney transplant recipients are uniquely exposed to the disordered bone metabolism associated with chronic kidney disease beginning before transplantation followed by chronic corticosteroid use after transplantation. Previous efforts to synthesize the rapidly accruing evidence regarding estimation and management of fracture risk in kidney transplant recipients are outdated and incomplete.
Objective: To synthesize the evidence informing the overall incidence, patient-specific risk prediction, and methods of prevention of fractures in patient living with a kidney transplant.
Current Knowledge of the Etiology and Management of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization in Children: A Narrative Review.

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a developmental condition affecting the enamel, primarily targeting one to four permanent first molars, often with the involvement of permanent incisors. The condition is characterized by distinct white-yellow or yellow-brown opacities, with more severe cases exhibiting hypomineralized enamel that is prone to breakdown. Recent data highlights MIH as a widespread dental issue seen across the globe.

Atomic simulations aim to understand and predict complex physical phenomena, the success of which relies largely on the accuracy of the potential energy surface description and the efficiency to capture important rare events. LASP software (large-scale atomic simulation with a Neural Network Potential), released in 2018, incorporates the key ingredients to fulfill the ultimate goal of atomic simulations by combining advanced neural network potentials with efficient global optimization methods. This review introduces the recent development of the software along two main streams, namely, higher intelligence and more automation, to solve complex material and reaction problems.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy, has generally a poor prognosis despite the recent advancements in diagnostics and treatment. Genetic instability, particularly mutations in the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene, is associated with severe outcomes. Approximately 30 % of AML patients harbor FLT3 mutations, which have been linked to higher relapse and reduced survival rates.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a sophisticated diagnostic tool that utilizes the magnetic properties of biological tissue to generate detailed images of internal structures without the use of ionizing radiation. Despite its benefits in providing high-contrast images of soft tissues, the strong magnetic fields used in MRI present a unique safety challenge. Increasing MRI-related accidents and the prevalence of patients with metallic implants in recent years underscore the critical need for stringent MR safety protocols.
