Article Abstract
Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is one of the most common familial lipoprotein disorders of the lipoproteins, with a prevalence of 0.5% to 2% in different populations. About 10% of these patients suffer from cardiovascular disease and this number is increased by up to 11.3% in the young survivors of myocardial infarction and by 40% among all the survivors of myocardial infarction. Although initially thought to be that FCHL has an inheritance pattern of monogenic, the disease's etiology is still not fully understood and it appears that FCHL has a complex pattern related to genetic variants, environmental factors, and lifestyles. Two strategies have been used to identify its complex genetic background: candidate gene and the linkage approach, which have yielded an extensive list of genes associated with FCHL with a variable degree of scientific evidence. Until now, more than 30 different genetic variants have been identified related to FCHL. In this study, we aimed to review the individual genes that have been described in FCHL and how these genes and variants can be related to the current concept of metabolic pathways resulting in familial combined hyperlipidemia.

Proliferative retinopathy is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in humans; however, the molecular mechanisms behind the immune cell-mediated retinal angiogenesis remain poorly elucidated. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing in an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model, we identified an enrichment of sorting nexin (SNX)-related pathways, with SNX3, a member of the SNX family that is involved in endosomal sorting and trafficking, being significantly upregulated in the myeloid cell subpopulations of OIR retinas. Immunostaining showed that SNX3 expression is markedly increased in the retinal microglia/macrophages of mice with OIR, which is mainly located within and around the neovascular tufts.

Metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) remains a disease with poor prognosis. While conventional platinum-based chemotherapy has long served as the standard first-line treatment, its survival benefit is limited, particularly in cisplatin-ineligible patients. The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors and antibody-drug conjugates as part of sequential treatment has improved outcomes, with pembrolizumab, avelumab, and enfortumab vedotin (EV) providing survival benefit in later lines.

Background: Sports medicine physicians, like pediatricians and family physicians, are among the professionals who have the opportunity to assess healthy adolescents and conduct pre-participation evaluations. They can play a critical role in the early diagnosis of scoliosis and in ensuring that patients remain physically active and participate in sports activities. This study aims to evaluate the frequency of scoliosis assessment and the knowledge of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) among sports medicine physicians in Türkiye.

Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of intraluminal endoscopic treatment of patients with adenomas of the major duodenal papilla and familial adenomatous polyposis.
Material And Methods: Over the past 4 years, 13 patients with adenomas of the major duodenal papilla and familial adenomatous polyposis underwent surgery in our hospital. Of these, 7 patients had exclusively extrapapillary adenomas without signs of spread to the ducts.

Beaked whales, deep-diving cetaceans from the family Ziphiidae, exhibit cryptic behaviors, and data on these species in Brazilian waters are limited to strandings and isolated sightings. This study characterizes the occurrence and acoustic behavior of beaked whales in the Foz do Amazonas Basin using combined visual and passive acoustic monitoring along the Brazilian Equatorial Margin. Audio files were analyzed to identify clicks with frequency-modulated pulses, a diagnostic characteristic of beaked whales.
