COVID-19 Can Cause New Cholesterol Problems. What to Know
Not long after the start of the global coronavirus pandemic, it was apparent that many people infected with SARS-CoV-2 were developing persistent and, in some cases, debilitating health problems. Now known widely as post-Covid syndrome or Long COVID, the most common symptoms of this condition are fatigue, attention problems, headaches, muscle or joint pain, and weakness. But those are just the start. Medical researchers have also linked SARS-CoV-2 to lingering complications in multiple organs and systems, and some recent work has found that new-onset cholesterol problems may be an under-recognized but common complication o...

Lessons from the Space-2 trial in preventing carotid artery stroke in medically managed patients
The SPACE-2 trial, led by Dr Tilman Reiff1 from Heidelberg University, was a multi-center, randomized, controlled trial including 36 centers in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. It aimed to directly compare the benefit of intervention vs best medical therapy (BMT) in patients with high-grade asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. Interventions considered were carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS). Participants were between the ages of 50 and 85  years with at least 70% internal carotid artery stenosis.

A journey through clinic and research
I started to study Medicine at the University of Genoa, Italy more than 20 years ago and I now realize that I was quite far from understanding what ‘Medicine’ really means. After weeks and weeks spent on books during the first year, I understood that becoming a MD not only requires the willingness to help people with health problems, but also strong motivation and dedication to learn a huge amount of notions. In Italy, as it is the case for several other countries, the University courses last 6 years, during which the MD student is fully engaged by individual study, lessons and seminars, exercises, and internships.
