Association between Elevated Lipoprotein(a) and Cardiovascular Events and Mortality in a Nationally Representative Sample of US Medicare, Medicaid, and Commercial Enrollees with ASCVD (AHA 2024) - "Black patients had highest median Lp(a) (50 mg/dL/111 nmol/L), followed by Asian (13.5 mg/dL/35.5 nmol/L), White (13 mg/dL/32 nmol/L), and Hispanic (11.5 mg/dL/29 nmol/L) patients... In this national-scale real-world cohort of patients with ASCVD, Lp(a) testing is infrequent and elevated Lp(a) levels were significantly associated with a greater risk of CV events and mortality."

Prevalence and Genomic Investigation of Salmonella Isolates Associated with Watermelons and Their Environmental Reservoirs in Bejaia, Algeria. (PubMed, Foodborne Pathog Dis) - "Among the 20 Salmonella isolates, 2 serovars were identified (Salmonella Liverpool and Salmonella Anatum), belonging to sequence types ST1959 and ST64, respectively. Ten Salmonella isolates showed significant resistance to nalidixic acid, ofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin but were susceptible to all other antibiotics...Our study indicates a relatively high prevalence of Salmonella on watermelon samples before harvest. Although we cannot directly compare our results with previous studies, it is crucial to recognize that the absence of comprehensive comparative data underscores the need for further research and surveillance."

[VIRTUAL] Risk factors and outcomes of children with prolonged chyle leak after pediatric liver transplantation (TTS 2020) - "Median drain fluid triglyceride level was 185.5 mg/dL(111-363 mg/dL)... CL is a fairly common complication among pediatric recipients and can be safely and effectively managed with early identification and management with fat restricted diet and octreotide. CL presenting as chylothorax more commonly requires additional intervention for resolution and increases morbidity."
