Current risk stratification scores provide some guidance in determining the possibility of a venous thromboembolism (VTE) event following total joint arthroplasties (TJA). The current literature supports low-dose aspirin of 81 mg twice daily as an ideal thromboprophylaxis agent for low-risk patients undergoing elective primary or revision total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty. Anticoagulants are suggested for high-risk patients. Intermittent mechanical compression and early mobilization are mechanical factors that can contribute to the reduction of VTE following major orthopedic surgeries. Surgeons should consider classification of TJA patients in low-risk or high-risk patients based upon validated risk assessment modules.

Omega-3 index improves upon the pooled cohort equation in predicting risk for CVD.
J Clin Lipidol
February 2025
Fatty Acid Research Institute, Sioux Falls, SD, USA (Drs Tintle, Marchioli, and Harris); Department of Internal Medicine, Sanford School of Medicine, University of South Dakota, Sioux Falls, SD, USA (Dr Harris).
Background: Accurate predictive tools are crucial for identifying patients at increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The Pooled Cohort Equation (PCE) is commonly used to predict 10-year risk for ASCVD, but its accuracy remains imperfect.
Objective: This study examined the extent to which the omega-3 index (O3I; the proportion of eicosapentaenoic acid+docosahexaenoic acid in erythrocyte membranes) improved the predictive capability of PCE.
Cystatin C is associated with osteoporosis and fractures: An observational study based on Mendelian randomization analysis.

Objectives: Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mass and damaged bone microstructure, often leading to fragility fractures. Low bone mineral density is a key risk factor for fractures. Serum cystatin C (CysC), an endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate, is negatively correlated with bone mineral density and may be a potential risk factor for osteoporosis.

Department of Preventive Medicine, Tokai University School of Medicine, Isehara, Japan.
Objectives: While there is growing evidence that physical activity reduces the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the impact of occupational physical activity and sedentary behaviour remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the associations between occupational physical activity and sedentary behaviour and HCC risk.
Design: Matched case-control study.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is marked by significant clinical heterogeneity, posing challenges for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies. Conventional approaches, such as endoscopy and histology, often fail to adequately and accurately predict medium and long-term outcomes, leading to suboptimal patient management. Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative force enabling standardized, accurate, and timely disease assessment and outcome prediction, including therapeutic response.

Background: Macrosomia, classically defined by an arbitrary birthweight threshold, is associated with an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). However, some preliminary evidence suggests that lower birthweights may also be at increased risk. We hypothesized that birthweight, analyzed as a continuous variable, is significantly associated with the risk of severe postpartum hemorrhage, with the risk increasing not only at higher birthweights traditionally associated with macrosomia but also potentially at lower birthweights.
