Cardiovascular disease is common in patients with prostate cancer and is an important cause of death. Cardiovascular risk factors are frequent in this population and are often not addressed to thresholds recommended by cardiovascular practice guidelines. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) reduces muscle strength and increases adiposity, thereby increasing the risk of diabetes and hypertension, although its relationship with adverse cardiovascular events requires confirmation. Androgen receptor signaling inhibitors and CYP17A1 inhibitors may confer incremental risks of hypertension and cardiovascular events to ADT. Lower cardiovascular risk with gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists as compared with agonists requires prespecified randomized clinical trial confirmation.

Department of Hospital Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, Showa University, Tokyo, Japan.
This study aimed to determine the risk of emergency admission by ambulance in patients taking potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). We included 273,932 patients aged over 75 years of age admitted between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019, using the Japan Medical Data Center medical insurance database containing anonymized patient data. We excluded patients without a history of admission.

Purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common chronic cardiac arrhythmia that increases the risk of stroke, primarily due to thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices offer an alternative to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention. However, the complex and variable anatomy of the LAA presents significant challenges to device design and deployment.

The exposome is the measure of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. Exposomics is the emerging field of research to measure and study the totality of the exposome. Exposomics can assist with molecular medicine by furthering our understanding of how the exposome influences cellular and molecular processes such as gene expression, epigenetic modifications, metabolic pathways, and immune responses.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH, USA.
No therapy has been shown to reduce the risk of major adverse liver outcomes (MALO) in patients with cirrhosis due to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). The Surgical Procedures Eliminate Compensated Cirrhosis In Advancing Long-term (SPECCIAL) observational study compared the effects of metabolic surgery and nonsurgical treatment in patients with obesity and compensated histologically proven MASH-related cirrhosis. Using a doubly robust estimation methodology to balance key baseline characteristics between groups, the time-to-incident MALO was compared between 62 patients (68% female) who underwent metabolic surgery and 106 nonsurgical controls (71% female), with a mean follow-up of 10.
