Context: The joint associations of maternal and fetal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of lipid metabolic genes with the risk of maternal supraphysiological hypercholesterolemia (MSPH) are unclear.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the associations of maternal/fetal SNPs of APOE, LPL, LDLR, PCSK9, and SCARB1 with the risk of MSPH and explore whether the maternal-fetal pairing pattern of the risk alleles can affect MSPH risk.
Methods: A nested case-control study was conducted that included 182 pregnant women with MSPH and 182 with maternal physiological hypercholesterolemia. Maternal venous and umbilical venous blood were collected to detect the SNPs of genes. The primary outcome was MSPH. Logistic regression model was used to determine the associations of SNPs with risk of MSPH.
Results: The C-allele in maternal APOE rs429358 T > C (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.72, P = 0.033), G-allele in fetal APOE rs440446 C > G (adjusted OR = 1.62, P = 0.012) and T-allele in fetal LPL rs263 C > T (adjusted OR = 1.53, P = 0.011) increased the risk of MSPH. The A-allele in maternal LDLR rs7258950 G > A decreased the risk of MSPH (adjusted OR = 0.67, P = 0.028). For maternal-fetal pairing analysis, the variant concordance of PCSK9 rs2149041, rs7523141, rs7523242, rs7525649, and LDLR rs7258950 were associated with the decreased risk of MSPH under the dominant model. The variant concordance of other SNPs of PCSK9, APOE, LDLR, LPL, and SCARB1 were associated with the increased risk of MSPH.
Conclusion: This study supports the hypothesis that maternal and fetal genetic polymorphisms of lipid metabolic genes are associated with the risk of MSPH. The maternal-fetal variant concordance is also associated with this risk.

Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to develop guidance for safe patient handling and mobility efforts to prevent pressure injuries (PIs) within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) when slings and other transfer devices are left under patients.
Participants And Setting: Health care staff (n = 112) in patient safety and nursing at 77 unique VHA facilities responded to surveys between November and December 2019. Interviews (n = 24) were conducted using purposive sampling with VHA staff at facilities with highest and lowest PI rates (n = 9) between January and March 2021.
Association of a pace of aging epigenetic clock with rate of cognitive decline in the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort.
Alzheimers Dement (Amst)
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The geroscience hypothesis suggests that biological aging contributes significantly to cognitive decline.
- - Analyzed data from the Framingham Heart Study linked faster aging (measured by the DunedinPACE epigenetic clock) to poorer cognitive performance and quicker decline over two decades.
- - Findings indicate that biological aging metrics can help identify individuals at risk for cognitive decline, which may enhance risk assessment in clinical settings and future trials.

National public health emergency operations centers (PHEOCs) serve as hubs for coordinating information and resources for effective emergency management. In the a simulation exercise is 1 of 4 components that can be used to test the functionality of a country's emergency response capabilities in a simulated situation. To test the functionality of PHEOCs in World Health Organization African Region member states, a regional functional exercise simulating an Ebola virus disease outbreak was conducted.

Article Synopsis
- Hospital waste handlers (HWHs) face significant occupational health hazards due to their exposure to contaminated waste, with a study aiming to identify the frequency and contributing factors of these hazards in Karachi's tertiary care hospitals.
- A survey of 417 HWHs revealed that while many used basic protective equipment, less than half properly labeled waste bins, and only a small percentage disinfected the waste, leading to injuries and health issues among workers.
- The conclusion highlights the need for improved training and monitoring of HWHs to enhance hospital waste management practices and ensure their safety.
