The most recent 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee report indicated that cholesterol is not considered a nutrient of concern for overconsumption. However, this statement may be too general as it does not acknowledge conflicting findings in literature regarding cardiovascular risk in certain populations. Current research suggests that dietary cholesterol may increase an subject's risk of developing diabetes, increases a diabetic patient's risk of cardiovascular disease, and may worsen coronary risk factors in subjects who are hyper-responders to dietary cholesterol. In conclusion, we suggest that a more cautious approach to dietary cholesterol intake is warranted, especially in high-risk populations. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

An update on current treatment strategies for laryngopharyngeal reflux symptoms

Amanda J. Krause, Erin H. Walsh, Philip A. Weissbrod, Tiffany H. Taft, Rena Yadlapati

Summary: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a syndrome caused by the reflux of gastric contents into the pharynx or larynx, leading to a variety of symptoms. Treatment options for LPR include medical therapies such as proton pump inhibitors and noninvasive treatment options like lifestyle therapy. Due to the complexity of patients with LPR, a treatment algorithm is proposed to assist clinicians in diagnosing and treating patients effectively.

Quality of Life and Laryngopharyngeal Reflux

Kelli Liu, Amanda Krause, Rena Yadlapati

Summary: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a syndrome characterized by the reflux of gastric contents into the pharynx or larynx, causing symptoms such as cough, throat clearing, sore throat, globus, and dysphonia. Unlike gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), LPR is not well-studied, and there is no gold standard for diagnosis. Further research is needed to explore the relationship between symptom burden, acid reflux, and quality of life, anxiety, and depression in LPR patients and guide treatment strategies.

Can GRACE Risk Score Predict Mortality and the Need for Thrombolytic Treatment in Acute Pulmonary Embolism?

Esra Donmez, Sevgi Ozcan, Irfan Sahin, Murat Ziyrek, Ertugrul Okuyan

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the GRACE risk score in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) patients for 30-day mortality and the need for thrombolytic treatment. The study found that the GRACE risk score, along with the PESI score, were independent risk factors associated with 30-day mortality and the need for thrombolytic treatment. The GRACE risk score showed high sensitivity and specificity in predicting mortality, and its combination with the PESI score helped define high-risk PE patients and predict poor prognosis.

Pericardial Adipose Tissue Thrombospondin-1 Associates With Antiangiogenesis in Ischemic Heart Disease

Bulbul Ahmed, Melissa G. Farb, Shakun Karki, Sophia D'Alessandro, Niloo M. Edwards, Noyan Gokce

Summary: This study evaluated the angiogenic capacity of adipose tissue in patients undergoing cardiac surgeries and found that patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) had reduced angiogenic capacity in their pericardial adipose tissue. Gene expression analysis revealed upregulated expression of the anti-angiogenic gene TSP-1 in CAD patients, with no significant differences in other angiogenic factors. Additionally, inhibiting TSP-1 expression significantly improved angiogenic deficiency in CAD patients.
