Article Synopsis
  • Alterations in body composition during adolescence are linked to future metabolic risks, but the mechanisms behind these changes are not well understood.
  • A study on 352 Mexican adolescents analyzed the relationship between serum metabolomics and changes in body fat and muscle mass over 1.6 to 3.5 years, revealing sex-specific patterns in these associations.
  • In boys, certain amino acids and fatty acid metabolites were linked to increases in body mass index and fat, while girls showed fewer associations, suggesting different metabolic pathways influence growth in males and females.

Members of the Rem, Rem2, Rad, Gem/Kir (RGK) family of small GTP-binding proteins inhibit high-voltage-activated (HVA) Ca(2+) channels through interactions with both the principal α1 and the auxiliary β subunits of the channel complex. Three highly conserved residues of Rem (R200, L227, and H229) have been shown in vitro to be critical for interactions with β subunits. However, the functional significance of these residues is not known.

Background: Open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair has gradually been replaced by endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). The primary objective of this study is to establish baseline mortality data and compare our institutional mortality rates for ruptured AAA patients with published rates from institutions using similar approaches.

Methods: This study is a retrospective review of 49 patients treated using a structured ruptured AAA (rAAA) protocol in a community teaching hospital.
