Experts analyzed LDL-C burden in 112 elderly familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients, 49% of whom had coronary heart disease (CHD). Patients with CHD had significantly higher LDL-C burden at ages 45, 50, and 60 years and higher pre-treatment time-weighted average (TWA) LDL-C. Women had higher TWA LDL-C during follow-up. These findings underscore the importance of early LDL-C management to reduce CHD risk in FH patients.

A premature neonate developed upper limb compartment syndrome after uterine rupture extruded the arm through a scar defect. Conservative management with continuous monitoring yielded complete functional recovery and normal limb growth at 10-year follow-up, highlighting non-operative safety in selected cases.

Endoscopic posterior cervical fusion combines minimally invasive decompression, joint preparation, and rigid screw-rod fixation for atlantoaxial pathologies. Early clinical findings demonstrate solid bony union, excellent symptom relief, and minimal soft-tissue morbidity without significant vascular compromise.
