Summary: The study found that 95.5% of patients undergoing their first PCI had at least one risk factor for coronary artery disease. Nearly half of the patients had three or more risk factors. The average age difference between men and women narrowed as the number of risk factors increased, and smoking and obesity were associated with earlier age of diagnosis.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of FIV and FeLV infection in healthy outdoor cats in North, Northeast and Central Thailand and evaluated the associated risk factors. The results showed that the prevalence of FIV and FeLV infections was lower than expected in these regions, and there were no significant risk factors for FeLV infection. However, the risk of FIV infection increased with age.

Summary: The study investigated the prevalence of obesity/overweight and related risk factors in first-episode, drug-naive (FEDN) patients with MDD in China. The results showed that overweight is more common than obesity among FEDN MDD patients, with TSH being identified as an independent risk factor for weight gain, and an inverted U-shaped parabolic relationship between TSH and BMI.

Summary: Feline idiopathic cystitis is a common disease in cats that presents with urinary symptoms. The disease may involve interactions between environmental factors, the neuroendocrine system, and the bladder of affected cats. Diagnosis is a process of excluding other possible conditions due to the similarity in clinical signs with other feline lower urinary diseases.

Summary: This review presents the current knowledge in epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostics, and treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women. It highlights the associations of insulin resistance, hyperandrogenemia, obesity, adipose tissue dysfunction, and inflammation with the development of NAFLD in PCOS women. Additionally, the possible roles of the gut microbiome, mitochondrial dysfunction, and endocannabinoid system in NAFLD maintenance in PCOS women are discussed.
