Comprehensive Review of Lipid Management in Chronic Kidney Disease and Hemodialysis Patients: Conventional Approaches, and Challenges for Cardiovascular Risk Reduction - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39860649/
Background/Objectives : Lipid disorders are very prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), leading to heightened cardiovascular risk. This review examines the effectiveness of...
Lipid-lowering therapies in CKD/ESRD show limited cardiovascular benefits, especially in dialysis patients. While statins and PCSK9 inhibitors offer potential, further research is needed to optimize treatment strategies for these populations.

Effects of Cocoa Consumption on Cardiometabolic Risk Markers: Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38931273/
The consumption of cocoa showed protective effects on major cardiometabolic risk markers that have a clinical impact in terms of cardiovascular risk reduction.
Cocoa consumption modestly improves LDL-c, total cholesterol, fasting glucose, and blood pressure in adults, but shows no impact on weight, BMI, waist circumference, triglycerides, HDL-c, or HbA1c.

Intravenous Lipid Emulsion for Managing Local Anesthetic Toxicity in a Three-Month-Old Patient - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39830580/
Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a well-known life-threatening local anesthetics complication, especially if given in inappropriate doses or routes. Therefore, physicians should be aware of LAST symptoms, such as...
A three-month-old infant developed cardiac symptoms from LAST after a caudal block; early intravenous lipid emulsion treatment effectively reversed symptoms, restoring normal vitals without complications.
