Summary: Fish oils can lower blood lipids and protect against cardiovascular events, mainly through anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid, have the best results and are recommended for patients with dyslipidemias, especially those at high risk for cardiovascular disease.

Summary: Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide, is influenced by various risk factors such as age, increased intraocular pressure, inflammation, oxidative stress, and ocular blood flow deficits. While lowering intraocular pressure is the current effective method for controlling glaucoma progression, it may not always provide satisfactory results due to inadequate response and ongoing retinal neural degeneration. Fish oil, a dietary supplement rich in omega-3 fatty acids, has been reported to benefit glaucoma patients; however, its efficiency and underlying mechanisms are still unclear. This review summarizes the roles of active ingredients in fish oil, including lowering intraocular pressure, regulating blood supply, alleviating inflammation, and reducing oxidative stress, in delaying the development of glaucoma and promoting clinical management.

Summary: This study investigated the extraction of fish oil from yellowfin tuna heads using enzymatic hydrolysis extraction after ultrahigh pressure pre-treatment. The results showed that ultra-high pressure pre-treatment significantly increased the oil yield and improved the quality of fish oil. This research provides a technical reference for efficiently extracting high-quality fish oil.

Summary: Different vegetable oils can be used as substitutes of fish oil in aquaculture feed, but they may cause deficiency in long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish products. The welfare and health consequences of these alterations on fish are not well known.

Summary: Youth with obesity and abnormal glucose tolerance are at increased risk for atherosclerosis. This study found that insulin resistance is associated with atherogenic lipoprotein/lipid profile and carotid intimal thickness (cIMT) in adolescents, regardless of glucose tolerance status.

Summary: The study found that hepatic fat in children aged 4 to 8 years old was low, but independently associated with estimated insulin resistance and exhibited sex-specific associations with glucose and triglycerides, suggesting that hepatic fat may be an early indicator of metabolic dysfunction in youth.

Summary: The combination of buckwheat D-fagomine (FG) and fish omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 PUFA) was found to have beneficial effects on attenuating insulin resistance induced by a high-fat diet in rats. This combination also reduced dyslipidemia, liver enzyme levels, interleukin-6, and oxidative stress. Omega-3 PUFA played a key role in modulating the beneficial effects of the combination on oxidative stress and related risk factors in pre-obese rats.

Summary: In this study, it was found that papaya seed oil, which is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, has hypocholesterolemic and hypotriglyceridemic effects, and can protect against insulin resistance and regulate blood glucose levels.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between habitual fish oil use and the risk of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). A total of 408,023 participants without prior CKD were enrolled from the UK Biobank. Fish oil use and dietary intakes were assessed through questionnaires. The study found that habitual fish oil use was associated with a lower hazard of CKD, and there were consistent inverse relationships between fish consumption and circulating omega-3 PUFA concentration with incident CKD.

Summary: The study found that PAP was equally effective and well-tolerated in infants and school-aged children with obstructive sleep apnea, with similar adherence rates and common barriers such as behavioral issues in both age groups.

Summary: This review focuses on the treatment approach for dyslipidemias, emphasizing the importance of normalizing these parameters to enhance patients' overall quality of life. Through an extensive analysis of clinical trials, this review identifies diseases that require alternative treatment strategies, particularly familial hypercholesterolemia. The primary objective of this review is to consolidate existing information on drugs with the potential to revolutionize dyslipidemia management significantly. Among these promising pharmaceuticals, alirocumab, bempedoic acid, antisense oligonucleotides, angiopoietin-like protein inhibitors, apolipoprotein C-III (APOC3) inhibitors, lomitapide, and cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors are highlighted. This review outlines the future landscape of dyslipidemia treatment, envisioning a more tailored and effective therapeutic approach to address this widespread medical concern.

Summary: This study investigated the concordance of antiviral treatment in children at high risk for influenza complications and found that 42% did not receive guideline-concordant antiviral treatment. Further research is needed to identify barriers to appropriate antiviral use in this vulnerable population.

Summary: The study found that the sample with microcapsules had slightly higher total protein content. The addition of encapsulated oil reduced the pH and water activity value in the meat batter compared to the control sample. There was an inverse correlation between the dynamic viscosity of the batters and the spin-spin relaxation times. The modulus of elasticity in all systems exhibited three areas of change in temperature.
