Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative condition with no effective cure due to its complex pathogenesis. Recent studies highlight the role of lipid metabolic dysregulation and neuroinflammation in AD. 3-Hydroxyl 3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMGCR), a key enzyme in cholesterol synthesis, is implicated in AD through mechanisms involving lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammation, microglial proliferation, and amyloid-β deposition. Statins, HMGCR inhibitors, are explored for their potential in AD treatment due to their lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory properties, though their efficacy remains controversial. The review discusses HMGCR's regulatory mechanisms, its role in AD pathogenesis, and the potential and limitations of statins in AD therapy.

The study examines patient mobility for breast cancer surgery within the English NHS, revealing that up to one-third of patients bypass their nearest hospital for treatment. Factors influencing this include travel time, patient demographics, and hospital characteristics. Younger, healthier, and rural patients are more likely to travel further for surgery, often choosing specialist centers or hospitals with strong reputations. The findings suggest that patient choice policies may inadvertently increase healthcare inequalities, as marginalized groups tend to receive care locally. The study highlights the need for accessible, reliable information on hospital quality to guide patient decisions and suggests that current policies may not effectively reduce waiting times post-pandemic.

CLDN5 protein, essential for tight junctions in epithelial cells, has been identified as a significant biomarker for metastasis and immune infiltration in gastric cancer through pan-cancer analysis. The study utilized TCGA and GEO databases to explore CLDN5's expression, survival analysis, and clinicopathological staging. Results indicated significant differences in CLDN5 expression between cancerous and normal tissues, with correlations to immune cell infiltration, DNA methylation, TMB, and MSI. CLDN5 shows potential for diagnostic effectiveness in gastric cancer and implications in immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies, warranting further research.
