Hyperuricaemia modulates HDL-C-induced cardiovascular mortality in women

12 Dec 2022

Women with very high levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are at heightened risk of cardiovascular mortality, with the association following a J-shaped pattern, as reported in a study. Of note, the risk of cardiovascular mortality increases with concomitant hyperuricaemia.

Antipsychotic use lowers work disability risk

12 Dec 2022

Use of antipsychotics, particularly long-acting injectables, results in nearly 30‒50-percent reduced risk of work disability among individuals with first-episode nonaffective psychosis compared with nonuse, a study has shown. This benefit persists beyond 5 years after first diagnosis.
