Article Abstract

In the CholGate project we performed a preliminary study evaluating user requirements and knowledge level on lipid management in 40 primary care practices in The Netherlands. Practitioners rated speed, usability and completeness as important. We hope to show that the knowledge level of physicians regarding lipid management can be passively increased from its current levels by an integrated decision support system.

Flaxseed oil contains elevated levels of omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA), which have been shown to impact reproductive performance. This study aimed to determine the effects of a flaxseed oil-based supplement on reproductive parameters, feeding behavior, and lipid profile in beef heifers. Sixty Angus and Simmental × Angus heifers (14 months old ± 2 months), blocked by full body weight (BW; 396.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Background: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The feasibility and effectiveness of bovine versus porcine surfactants via less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) remain unstudied in LMICs. We compared clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of BLES versus poractant alfa in preterm infants with RDS managed with LISA.

Vitiligo, a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of depigmented skin patches, remains a therapeutic challenge due to its multifactorial pathogenesis and the absence of highly effective treatment options. Although the exact etiology of vitiligo is not fully understood, factors such as genetic factors, oxidative stress, autoimmunity, and inflammation are implicated in the destruction of melanocytes. Current therapeutic strategies primarily focus on modulating immune responses and alleviating oxidative stress.
