Mammography biomarkers of cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health: A review
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in both women and men and constitutes a major health and economic burden for healthcare systems all over the world [1]. In Europe, 47  % of all deaths in females are caused by CVD: ischemic heart disease and stroke account for 38 % and 26 % of all CVD deaths, respectively [1]. Indeed, estrogen has a protective role against CVD during the fertile age [2], this protection however tends to vanish during the menopause transition , thus contributing to increase CVD risk, together with other adverse physiological and metabolic changes occu...

Screening mammography beyond breast cancer: breast arterial calcifications as a sex-specific biomarker of cardiovascular risk
ConclusionsThere is a strong rationale for mammography to become a dual test for breast cancer screening and CV disease prevention. However, robust and automated quantification methods are needed for a deeper insight on the association between BAC and CV disease, to stratifying CV risk and define personalized preventive actions.Graphical abstract

Korean JLK Inspection launches AI-powered imaging diag system
Korean JLK Inspection said yesterday that it launched its AIHub artificial intelligence-powered medical image diagnostics platform. The newly launched AIHub system is designed to analyze images from a number of different imaging modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, X-ray and mammography, the Seoul-based company said. JLK Inspection claims the system can detect and monitor for more than 30 medical conditions in 14 regions of the body. The company added that the system is focused on brain diseases and conditions including ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, brain aneurysm and Alzheimer̵...

Update on Breast Cancer Risk Reduction Therapy
Abstract In women at increased risk of breast cancer age ≥35 years, the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) tamoxifen should be discussed as an option to reduce the risk of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. In postmenopausal women, raloxifene, anastrozole, and exemestane should also be discussed as options for breast cancer risk reduction. Risk reduction with SERMs continues for at least 10 years in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Tamoxifen is not recommended for women with a history of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolus, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or during prol...

Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndrome in Fallopian Tube Cancer.
We report on a rare case of paraneoplastic syndrome (PS) that was discovered on completion of diagnostic work-up to be an undifferentiated fallopian tube carcinoma. A 49-year-old Caucasian woman was admitted to neurology with vertigo, gait ataxia and dysarthria, transient ischaemic attack (TIA) and stroke were quickly excluded. Indicative for the further diagnosis of a paraneoplastic syndrome was the identification of onconeuronal antibodies the detection of which can be associated with certain tumour entities. The strongly positive anti-Yo antibody that is formed above all by breast and lung cancers as well as ovarian can...

Egg consumption and risk of heart failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke: results from 2 prospective cohorts Cardiovascular disease risk
Conclusions: Daily egg consumption was not associated with risk of MI or any stroke type in either men or women or with HF in women. Consumption of eggs ≥1 time/d, but not less frequent consumption, was associated with an elevated risk of HF in men.
