Top in cardiology: Atherosclerosis common in lung cancer; treating amyloidosis

Patients beginning lung cancer treatment demonstrated a high prevalence of atherosclerosis, which suggests that they may benefit from calcium scoring, new data showed.

According to a presentation given at the American College of Cardiology’s Advancing theCardiovascular Care of the Oncology Patient course, more than three-quarters of patients entering lung cancer treatment who underwent chest CT imaging showed evidence of atherosclerosis.


White patients who smoked appeared most likely to have atherosclerosis on CT out of all the subgroups examined, researchers found.

“What this study confirms is that tobacco use is a shared risk factor for both diseases and at the time of lung cancer diagnosis these patients should be considered for additional evaluation by a cardiologist or cardio-oncologist, as it is likely they already have CV disease,” Christopher Malozzi, DO, director of cardio-oncology services at the University of South Alabama Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine, told Healio.

It was the top story in cardiology last week. In another top story, Joban Vaishnav, MD, director of the Johns Hopkins Comprehensive Amyloidosis Center, discussed the evolving treatment landscape of amyloidosis.

Multifactorial Genetic Conditions

Multifactorial Genetic Conditions Multifactorial genetic conditions are disorders caused by the combined effects of multiple genes and environmental factors , rather than a single gene mutation . These conditions do not follow classic Mendelian inheritance patterns and instead result from complex gene–environment interactions . Factors such as lifestyle, nutrition, infections, stress, and exposure to toxins can significantly influence disease onset and severity in genetically susceptible individuals. Common examples include diabetes, cardiovascular diseases , neural tube defects, asthma, and many neuropsychiatric disorders. Understanding multifactorial inheritance is essential for risk prediction, preventive medicine, and personalized healthcare strategies. Multifactorial inheritance, polygenic traits, gene–environment interaction, complex diseases, genetic susceptibility, environmental risk factors, non-Mendelian inheritance, disease predisposition, polygenic risk score, precision ...

Chromosomal Abnormalities

  Chromosomal Abnormalities Chromosome abnormalities refer to structural or numerical changes in chromosomes that can disrupt normal genetic function, leading to developmental disorders, congenital abnormalities, and various genetic diseases. These abnormalities may arise from errors in cell division, such as nondisjunction or chromosomal breakage, resulting in conditions like Down syndrome , Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome , and various deletion or duplication syndromes. Understanding chromosome abnormalities is essential for genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis, disease risk assessment, and research in cytogenetics and molecular genetics. Chromosome abnormalities, chromosomal disorders, chromosomal mutations, aneuploidy, structural chromosome abnormalities, nondisjunction, deletion syndrome, duplication syndrome , translocation, inversion, cytogenetics, karyotyping, prenatal diagnosis , genetic testing, genomic instability, Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syn...

Human Brain Organoids

Human Brain Organoids Model Abnormal Prenatal Neural Development Induced by Thermal Stimulation The developing human foetal brain is sensitive to thermal stimulation during pregnancy. However, the mechanisms by which heat exposure affects human foetal brain development remain unclear, largely due to the lack of appropriate research models for studying thermal stimulation. To address this, we have developed a periodic heating model based on brain organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells. The model recapitulated neurodevelopmental disruptions under prenatal heat exposure at the early stages, providing a paradigm for studying the altered neurodevelopment under environmental stimulation. Our study found that periodic heat exposure led to decreased size and impaired neural tube development in the brain organoids. Bulk RNA-seq analysis revealed that the abnormal WNT signalling pathway and the reduction of G2/M progenitor cells might be involved in heat stimulation. Further investi...
