This comprehensive review examines the effects of various infections on pregnancy, focusing on maternal symptoms, fetal outcomes, diagnostic methods, and placental pathology. The paper covers bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections, their mechanisms of transmission, clinical presentations, and histopathologic findings in the placenta. It emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis due to often asymptomatic presentations.

Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) plays crucial roles in the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins and loss of function MTP variants are associated with abetalipoproteinemia, a disease characterized by the absence of these lipoproteins. MTP is a heterodimeric protein of two subunits, MTP and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). In this study, we report a proband with abetalipoproteinemia who was monitored annually over a period of ten years in her third decade and had very low plasma lipids and undetectable apoB-containing lipoproteins.

Background: Minimally invasive focal therapy of low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer is becoming more common and has demonstrated lower morbidity compared to other treatments. Multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has the potential to be an effective posttreatment evaluation method for residual/recurrent neoplasm.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the ability of mpMRI to detect residual/recurrent neoplasm after focal therapy treatment of prostate cancer using a 3-point Likert scale.

Objective:  This study aimed to investigate if retroverted (RV) uterus noted on nuchal translucency (NT) ultrasound is associated with second-trimester pregnancy loss and other adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Study Design:  This was a retrospective cohort study of patients with RV uterus documented on NT ultrasound at a single academic medical center from October 2019 to March 2023. Subjects were identified using a query for "retroverted" uterine position within an obstetric ultrasound imaging program.

Article Synopsis
  • * Using a large database, researchers analyzed the relative survival (RS), overall survival (OS), and lymphoma-specific survival (LSS) of different lymphoma subtypes, highlighting that splenic marginal zone lymphoma had the highest transformation rate.
  • * The findings suggest that patients with transformed follicular lymphoma who experience early transformation or have received previous treatment have poorer survival rates, indicating a need for new treatment strategies for these patients.

Structural and social determinants of health: The multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis.

PLoS One

November 2024

Urban Health Collaborative and Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Dornsife School of Public Health, Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America.

Background: Researchers have increasingly recognized the importance of structural and social determinants of health (SSDOH) as key drivers of a multitude of diseases and health outcomes. The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) is an ongoing, longitudinal cohort study of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) that has followed geographically and racially/ethnically diverse participants starting in 2000. Since its inception, MESA has incorporated numerous SSDOH assessments and instruments to study in relation to CVD and aging outcomes.

Impaired cognition is a key trait of the diseases of aging and is an important quality of life factor for older adults and their families. Over the past decade, there has been an increasing appreciation for the role of the microbiome in cognition, as well as emerging evidence that probiotics, such as those in yogurt and other dairy products, can have a positive impact on cognitive function. However, it is unclear to what extent the consumption of yogurt is associated with improved cognitive function in older adults.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores different surgical configurations of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) using obese mice, comparing a standard version (RYGB S) and a variant with a longer biliopancreatic limb (RYGB L).
  • RYGB S resulted in a higher survival rate (67%) compared to RYGB L (40%), which showed significant weight loss but also adverse health effects like reduced heart mass and unexplained deaths.
  • Both surgical groups had lower fat mass and bone density compared to lean controls, while the gut microbiota showed minimal differences aside from a lower abundance of Eubacterium in the longer BPL group.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its development into nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are challenging health concerns globally. Clinically, the prevalence and severity of NAFLD/NASH are higher in men than in premenopausal women. NAFLD is strongly correlated with obesity, both of which are tied to high-fat/fructose-rich western diets.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an incurable and progressive neurodegenerative disease with increasing prevalence worldwide. Previous trials of anti-amyloid and anti-tau immunotherapy indicate that additional research needs to be conducted on other mechanisms to find curative or disease-modifying therapy. This review focuses on apolipoprotein E (ApoE), a critical protein in brain lipid metabolism that acts specifically in the clearance and transport of lipids and cholesterol.

Article Synopsis
  • - Nilotinib is an FDA-approved drug for chronic myeloid leukemia that may have potential neuroprotective effects, leading researchers to investigate its use in treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD).
  • - The study examined nilotinib's impact on amyloid processing and mitochondrial function in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, finding no significant changes in key gene expressions related to amyloid-β processing or neuronal health.
  • - While BACE1 and ADAM10 proteins were increased at certain nilotinib concentrations, overall results suggest that nilotinib does not effectively provide neuroprotection.

FITM2 deficiency results in ER lipid accumulation, ER stress, and reduced apolipoprotein B lipidation and VLDL triglyceride secretion in vitro and in mouse liver.

Mol Metab

December 2024

Department of Medicine (Cardiology), the Cardiovascular Research Center, and the Marc and Ruti Bell Program in Vascular Biology, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, NY, USA. Electronic address:

Objective: Triglycerides (TGs) associate with apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) to form very low density lipoproteins (VLDLs) in the liver. The repertoire of factors that facilitate this association is incompletely understood. FITM2, an integral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein, was originally discovered as a factor participating in cytosolic lipid droplet (LD) biogenesis in tissues that do not form VLDL.

Radiol Clin North Am

November 2024

Department of Radiology, Jackson Memorial Hospital, University of Miami-Miller School of Medicine, 1611 Northwest 12th Avenue, West Wing 279, Miami, FL 33136, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • Imaging, particularly multi-detector CT, is essential for quickly assessing trauma patients, especially those with moderate to severe injuries.
  • While some strategies for using whole-body CT are widely accepted, there are still debates regarding its application and interpretation in certain cases.
  • Timely diagnosis is critical, as delays can harm patient outcomes; therefore, understanding imaging tools and recognizing potential errors is vital to prevent unnecessary procedures.
