Elevated Lp(a): Guidance for Identifying and Managing Patients
South Med J. 2024 Apr;117(4):208-213. doi: 10.14423/SMJ.0000000000001675.ABSTRACTLipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is a unique low-density lipoprotein-like lipoprotein that is considered an independent and causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and calcific aortic valve stenosis. The Lp(a) molecule also contains apolipoprotein A and apolipoprotein B, which collectively promote atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and inflammation. Lp(a) is highly genetic and minimally responsive to nonpharmacological measures. Lp(a) serum levels ≥125 nmol/L are associated with increased ASCVD risk, but this threshold has not ...

Matching Against Men: 5 Years of Residency Match Data Show Disparities Still Exist
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we found that men matched into more highly competitive specialties, whereas women matched into more competitive residency program locations. Further research is needed to determine why women matched into specific specialties at lower rates than their male peers and seek to understand how sex affects the narrative of specialty choice.PMID:38569605 | DOI:10.14423/SMJ.0000000000001673 (Source: Southern Medical Journal)
