Article Synopsis
  • Risk reduction salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) is a surgery often performed on women with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome caused by BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, which leads to surgical menopause and potential health risks.
  • A meta-analysis of six studies involving 1,320 patients examined the rates of cardiovascular and metabolic conditions post-surgery, including myocardial infarction, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and type 2 diabetes.
  • The results showed that while there were increased prevalence rates for conditions like hypertension (28%) and hypercholesterolemia (27.2%), the overall cardiovascular risk did not significantly increase for women undergoing RRSO.

Article Synopsis
  • PCSK9 inhibitors, evolocumab and alirocumab, show promise in treating familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in pediatric patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
  • The analysis included 14 articles and found that these drugs significantly reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and other lipid markers, particularly in patients with heterozygous FH.
  • Overall, the medications were well tolerated in children, highlighting their potential for safe use in managing lipid levels compared to prior studies in adults.

Introduction: Sleep disorders, particularly insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea, are associated with dyslipidemia in the general population. The study's aim was to explore the association between pathological Cholesterol and Triglyceride levels, and sleep and nighttime behavior disorders (SNBD) in older adults, whether they might predict SNBD onset, and to emphasize the role of body mass index (BMI) in this association.

Methods: Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) population with complete Cholesterol, Triglyceride, SNBD, and neurocognitive data were included.

Introduction: There is a decline in the quality and nutritive value of eggs in aged laying hens. Fruit pomaces with high nutritional and functional values have gained interest in poultry production to improve the performance.

Methods: The performance, egg nutritive value, lipid metabolism, ovarian health, and cecal microbiota abundance were evaluated in aged laying hens (320 laying hens, 345-day-old) fed on a basal diet (control), and a basal diet inclusion of 0.

Background: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) is a rare genetic disease characterised by extremely high plasma LDL cholesterol from birth, causing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease at a young age. Lipoprotein apheresis in combination with lipid-lowering drugs effectively reduce LDL cholesterol, but long-term health outcomes of such treatment are unknown. We aimed to investigate the long-term cardiovascular outcomes associated with lipoprotein apheresis initiated in childhood or adolescence.
