Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Adolescents with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Published: November 2021

It is well-established that adults with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have an increased prevalence of several cardiometabolic risk factors, including obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia. Accumulating data suggest that these risk factors are already present in adolescence in patients with PCOS. This has major implications for the management of this population since the timely identification of these risk factors is essential for preventing cardiovascular disease in adulthood. The present review summarizes the existing evidence regarding the prevalence of traditional and non-traditional cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents with PCOS.

Exercise capacity after long-term physical activity on prescription provided by physiotherapists.

Scand J Prim Health Care

January 2025

Unit of Physiotherapy, Department of Health and Rehabilitation, Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Research has shown that physical activity on prescription (PAP), used in Swedish healthcare, increases patients' physical activity, but data are lacking regarding the long-term effects of PAP on exercise capacity. Therefor exercise capacity was evaluated in patients with metabolic risk factors, after 4.5 years of PAP treatment provided by physiotherapists in primary healthcare.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), with the combination of nivolumab (NIVO) and ipilimumab (IPI) showing promising results. However, not all patients benefit from these therapies, emphasizing the need for reliable, easily assessable biomarkers. This multicenter study involved 116 advanced RCC patients treated with NIVO + IPI across nine oncology centers in Poland.

Evaluating the Immunogenicity Risk of Protein Therapeutics by Augmenting T Cell Epitope Prediction with Clinical Factors.

AAPS J

January 2025

Department of BioAnalytical Sciences, Genentech Inc, South San Francisco, California, USA.

Protein-based therapeutics may elicit undesired immune responses in a subset of patients, leading to the production of anti-drug antibodies (ADA). In some cases, ADAs have been reported to affect the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and/or safety of the drug. Accurate prediction of the ADA response can help drug developers identify the immunogenicity risk of the drug candidates, thereby allowing them to make the necessary modifications to mitigate the immunogenicity.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are increasingly prevalent cardiovascular conditions, particularly among the elderly population. These two conditions share common risk factors and often coexist, leading to a complex interplay that alters the clinical course of each other. The pathophysiology of HFpEF is multifaceted and intricately linked, with atrial disease serving as a common pathophysiological pathway.
