Background: Factor V Leiden (FVL) and factor II c.∗97G>A (rs1799963) are genetic risk factors for venous thromboembolism. Their contribution to coronary artery disease (CAD) is less clear.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between FVL, rs1799963, and premature CAD in Iranians.
Methods: We performed a genetic case-control study of 944 cases and 1081 controls from the premature CAD Milano-Iran study, including patients aged 18-55 (female) and 18-45 years (male) who underwent coronary angiography at the Tehran Heart Centre (Iran) in 2004-2011. Cases had luminal stenosis ≥50% in at least 1 main coronary artery or branch. Controls were age- and sex-matched with no CAD history. FVL and rs1799963 were genotyped using TaqMan SNP genotyping assays. Association was tested by logistic regression adjusted for matching factors and ethnicity. Effect modification by sex and cardiovascular risk factors (metabolic [obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes], and smoking) was assessed.
Results: The risk of premature CAD was increased by 50% in FVL carriers (adjusted odds ratio [adjOR] 1.54 [95% CI, 0.95-2.48]) and slightly reduced in rs1799963 carriers (adjOR 0.71 [95% CI, 0.40-1.27]). These effects were more pronounced in women than men (FVL, adjOR 1.66 vs 1.25; rs1799963, adjOR 0.60 vs 1.07). The risk of premature CAD was substantially increased in carriers of FVL with at least 1 metabolic risk factor compared with noncarriers without metabolic risk factors (adjOR 25.14 [95% CI, 12.51-50.52]).
Conclusion: FVL but not FII rs1799963 was associated with an increased risk of CAD in young Iranians. This risk increased considerably when combined with metabolic cardiovascular risk factors.

Background: Randomized clinical trials have shown that semaglutide is associated with a clinically relevant reduction in body weight and a lower risk of adverse cardiovascular events in those who are overweight or obese with a history of cardiovascular disease but no diabetes. The objective of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of semaglutide for this indication.
Methods: A decision analytic Markov model was used to compare the lifetime benefits and costs of semaglutide 2.

Background: Patients with unilateral breast loss after single mastectomy for breast cancer may have body image disorders such as surgical lymphedema, flap ischemia, and spinal deformity, resulting in negative emotions such as depression, inferiority, and social dysfunction. This study mainly investigated and analyzed the status quo and influencing factors of body image disorder in breast cancer patients after single mastectomy.
Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study.

This cross-sectional study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence and the potential risk factors of Brucella infection among goats in family farms in the southern east of Algeria. A total of 196 sera samples were randomly collected from 59 family farms and tested in parallel by Rose Bengal test (RBT) and indirect ELISA (iELISA). A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on potential risk factors.
