Cost-Effectiveness of Screening Strategies for Familial Hypercholesterolaemia: An Updated Systematic Review - PubMed

Cost-Effectiveness of Screening Strategies for Familial Hypercholesterolaemia: An Updated Systematic Review - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38265575/

Based on reported willingness to pay thresholds for each setting, most CEA studies concluded that screening for FH compared with no screening was cost-effective, regardless of the screening strategy. Cascade...

This review synthesizes cost-effectiveness of familial hypercholesterolemia screening strategies, finding cascade screening most cost-effective, with long-term lipid-lowering treatment costs as a key ICER driver. Most strategies were cost-effective compared to no screening.

Targeting dysregulated lipid metabolism in the tumor microenvironment - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38060103/

The reprogramming of lipid metabolism and its association with oncogenic signaling pathways within the tumor microenvironment (TME) have emerged as significant hallmarks of cancer. Lipid metabolism is defined as a...

Lipid metabolism dysregulation in the tumor microenvironment influences cancer progression. This review explores mechanisms of lipid reprogramming, its role in oncogenesis, and emerging therapies targeting lipid metabolism for cancer treatment.

Camu-camu decreases hepatic steatosis and liver injury markers in overweight, hypertriglyceridemic individuals: A randomized crossover trial - PubMed

Camu-camu decreases hepatic steatosis and liver injury markers in overweight, hypertriglyceridemic individuals: A randomized crossover trial - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39168095/

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 25% of the adult population with no effective drug treatments available. Previous animal studies reported that a polyphenol-rich extract from the Amazonian berry camu-camu...

A randomized trial showed that camu-camu (CC) polyphenol-rich extract reduced liver fat by 7.43%, improved liver enzymes, and altered gut microbiota composition in overweight adults, potentially lowering NAFLD risk.

Did you know? Radiation-induced vasculopathy can occur after cancer treatment, where radiation accelerates the development of age-related conditions like atherosclerosis. This condition can lead to the thickening and narrowing of blood vessels, increasing the risk of cardiovascular issues long after the cancer treatment is complete.

How can health care providers monitor and manage the long-term cardiovascular risks associated with radiation therapy in cancer survivors?
