Nutrition interventions for youth with dyslipidemia: a National Lipid Association clinical perspective
Source : https://www.lipidjournal.com/article/S1933-2874(22)00218-5/fulltext
It is well known that atherosclerosis begins in childhood and accelerates by age 20.1 Lifestyle interventions, including a heart-healthy dietary pattern, daily moderate-to-vigerous physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight,...
Conclusions: The goal of this National Lipid Association Clinical Perspective is to provide guidance for healthcare professionals caring for youth with disorders of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, including nutritional guidance that complements the use of lipid lowering medications.

Disruption of Lipid Raft Microdomains, Regulation of CD38, TP53, and MYC Signaling, and Induction of Apoptosis by Lomitapide in Multiple Myeloma Cells
Source : https://cgp.iiarjournals.org/content/19/5/540
Background/Aim: Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by accumulation of a malignant clone of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Curative treatments are not yet available. Therefore, we undertook a drug...
Conclusions: Lomitapide treatment led to disruption of lipid raft domains and induction of pro-apoptotic factors and might, therefore, be considered as a potential therapeutic agent in MM.

Pharmacological rationale for the very early treatment of acute coronary syndrome with monoclonal antibodies anti-PCSK9
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S104366182200384X?via=ihub
Immediate and aggressive lipid lowering therapies after acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) are supported by the ESC/EAS dyslipidemia guidelines, recommending the initiation of high-intensity statin therapy...
Conclusions: In the present review we will discuss the pharmacological and biological rationale supporting the potential use of PCSK9 mAbs in ACS patients and the emerging evidence of evolocumab and alirocumab treatment in this clinical setting.

Pearls & Oy-sters: Managing Cholesterol in a Patient With Statin Intolerance Due to Anti-HMG-CoA Reductase-Associated Myopathy
Source : https://n.neurology.org/content/early/2022/09/13/WNL.0000000000201315
Statins are the first line of treatment for hypercholesterolemia and of prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). It is estimated that one in four Americans over the age of 40...
Conclusions: We present key findings for early recognition and treatment of anti-HMGCR associated myopathy and give recommendations on how to manage hypercholesterolemia in a patient with statin intolerance due to this disease.

These results show that the lower HbA1c levels and weight benefit seen with iGlarLixi versus premixed BIAsp 30 in people with type 2 diabetes advancing their basal insulin therapy in...
Conclusions: These results show that the lower HbA1c levels and weight benefit seen with iGlarLixi versus premixed BIAsp 30 in people with type 2 diabetes advancing their basal insulin therapy in the SoliMix trial are also accompanied by a lower risk of hypoglycaemia at any time of day and across a broad range of HbA1c levels.
