UNLABELLED: Introducción. Las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles representan la principal causa de muerte en el mundo y su prevalencia va en aumento debido a la transición epidemiológica. A pesar de los avances en su manejo, las cifras de control son deficientes y esto se atribuye a múltiples factores, como el cumplimiento del tratamiento farmacológico, que es uno de los más representativos y menos estudiados en la población colombiana. OBJETIVO: Establecer la frecuencia de casos que cumplieron con el tratamiento farmacológico en pacientes colombianos con hipertensión arterial, enfermedad cerebrovascular, diabetes mellitus, asma, enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica y dislipidemia, entre el 2005 y el 2022...

BACKGROUND: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) interacts with psychopathology in a complex way; however, little is known about the underlying brain, biochemical, and genetic mechanisms. METHODS: To clarify the phenotypic and genetic associations between IBS and brain health, we performed a comprehensive retrospective cohort study on a large population. Our study included 171,104 participants from the UK Biobank who underwent a thorough assessment of IBS, with the majority also providing neuroimaging, behavioral, biochemical, and genetic information...

BACKGROUND: Recently, an inverse relationship between the blood concentration of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) and triglycerides (TG) has been demonstrated. The larger the VLDL particle size, the greater the presence of VLDL rich in apoliprotein E and in subjects with the apoE2/E2 genotype, the lower Lp(a) concentration. The mechanism of this inverse association is unknown. The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the Lp(a)-TG association in patients treated at the lipid units included in the registry of the Spanish Society of Atherosclerosis (SEA) by comparing the different dyslipidemias...

Se calcularon razones de momios (RM) para asociar la obesidad con factores de riesgo y diagnóstico de comorbilidades...

OBJECTIVE: Multiple systematic reviews (SR) have been performed on the effects of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors (PCSK9i), often providing conflicting findings. This overview and network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to summarize SR findings on the efficacy and safety of PCSK9i and provide an updated NMA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MEDLINE (Pubmed), Scopus, Cochrane, Epistemonikos and Google Scholar were searched from inception to September 21, 2023 for SRs of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and from January 1, 2020 to September 21, 2023 for additional RCTs...

OBJECTIVE: To examine the frequency of severe hypercholesterolemia (HS) and its clinical profile, and the phenotype of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), in the primary-care setting in a large health area of the Community of Madrid (CAM). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Multicenter study of subjects with a health card assigned to 69 health centers (Northwest/CAM area). HS was defined as cholesterol ≥300mg/dL or LDL-cholesterol ≥220mg/dL in any analysis performed (1-1-2018 to 12-30-2021); and FH phenotype as c-LDL ≥240mg/dL (≥160mg/dL if lipid-lowering treatment) with triglycerides <200mg/dL and TSH <5μIU/mL...

Active fractions and constituents with antioxidant and lipid-lowering activities were investigated using bio-assay-guided isolation and identification. The data showed that the antioxidant fraction of A. cepa was AC50%, the main constituents of which were quercetin and isoquercitrin, by way of both ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) and bio-assay-guided purification and elucidation. Similarly, the lipid-lowering active fraction of A. cepa was AC30% with the main constituents of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid and quercetin 3,4'- O -diglucoside...

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a manifestation of metabolic syndrome in the liver and the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Digeda-4 decoction (DGD-4) is a commonly prescribed Mongolian herbal drug for treating acute and chronic liver injury and fatty liver. However, the mechanisms underlying the improvement of dislipidemia and liver injury via treatment with DGD-4 remain unclear. Disassembling a prescription is an effective approach to studying the effects and mechanisms underlying Mongolian medicine prescriptions...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) patients often exhibit a dyslipidemic sub-phenotype. Paraoxonase 1 (PON 1) is a serum glycoprotein associated with the high-density lipoproteins cholesterol (HDL-C), and variability in PON1 activity depends on the PON1 genotypes. We investigated the influence of PON1c.192Q > R and PON1c.55L > M polymorphisms on PON1 activity and laboratory parameters and the association between PON1 activity and clinical manifestations in SCD patients...

[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the relationship between clinical outcomes after high tibial osteotomy and metabolic syndrome-related factors, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. [Participants and Methods] A total of 73 patients (73 knees) who underwent high tibial osteotomy for knee osteoarthritis between 2018 and 2020 were included. We investigated the correlation between metabolic syndrome-related factors and clinical symptom assessment (Japanese Orthopedic Association Score) and examined knee function and lower alignment...

BACKGROUND: Metabolic complications have become more relevant in the care of patients with HIV. However, little is known about the incidence and risk factors for these disorders among HIV-infected antiretroviral treatment naïve (ARTn) patients. OBJECTIVE: To recognize the prevalence of Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) and dyslipidemia among HIV-infected ARTn Mexican individuals and identify associated risk factors. METHOD: A retrospective study was conducted in HIV-1-infected ART-N patients, referred for attention to a general hospital in Mexico City, between 2009 and 2019...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Cardiovascular prevention measures place the emphasis on controlling cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF). However, the most recent studies provide disappointing data, the impact of which remains to be determined. The objective of this study was to analyse the impact that the different CVRFs, and their degree of control, have on the prognosis of patients after acute coronary syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Epidemiological, pharmacological, and CVRF control data were collected from 1,689 consecutive patients admitted from 2018 to 2020 for acute coronary syndrome to a tertiary hospital...

Obesity is associated to a low grade of chronic inflammation leading to metabolic stress, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, dislipidemia, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer. A Mediterranean diet has been shown to reduce systemic inflammatory factors, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. In this scenario, precision nutrition may provide complementary approaches to target the metabolic alterations associated to "unhealthy obesity". In a previous work, we described a pomegranate extract (PomE) rich in punicalagines to augment markers of browning and thermogenesis in human differentiated adipocytes and to augment the oxidative respiratory capacity in human differentiated myocytes...

BACKGROUND: leptin and adiponectin are associated with cardiovascular disease in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and could be useful prognostic factors. OBJECTIVES: to explore the usefulness of the leptin/adiponectin ratio (LAR) to predict the presence or worsening of dyslipidemia during 1 year of follow-up in children receiving kidney replacement therapy (KRT). MATERIAL AND METHODS: a prospective cohort study was performed. Pediatric KRT patients aged between 8 and 17 years who were undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis were included...

INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Control of its risk factors, particularly diabetes and dyslipidemia, through reduction of LDL cholesterol, is crucial to reduce cardiovascular risk. This work aims to assess and improve the medical approach to dyslipidemia in diabetic patients. METHODS: This is a quality improvement study aimed at family doctors. It included patients with diabetics and dyslipidemia enrolled in the primary health care units of Além D'Ouro, S...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Triglycerides are the initiators of the metabolic changes that lead to atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD). The APOA5 and APOA1 genes are involved in the response and metabolism of serum lipids and lipoproteins, where single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) rs662799 (promoter region) and rs5070 (intronic region) have been associated with the susceptibility to dyslipidemia. Until now, few studies evaluate the association of these polymorphisms with the presentation of hypertriglyceridemia and AD among Mexican children...
