Inflammatory Effect

Abstract Objectives Chronic inflammation is associated with obesity and chronic disease risk. Intake of dairy foods is associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease; however, the impact of dairy intake on inflammation is not well established. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the effect of dairy product and dairy protein consumption on low-grade systemic inflammation in adults without severe inflammatory disorders. Methods This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement and registered on PROSPERO (CRD42019129639). A literature search was completed in December 2018 and updated September 2019 using PubMed, CENTRAL, and review of reference lists from relevant review articles. The search resulted in identification and inclusion of 27 randomized controlled trials in this analysis, 19 trials which evaluated dairy products and 8 trials which evaluated dairy proteins. Results In the 19 trials which evaluated dairy products, 10 reported no inflammatory effect of the intervention, 8 reported a reduction in at least one biomarker of inflammation, and 1 reported a greater anti-inflammatory effect in the control as compared to the dairy product intervention. All 8 trials that investigated dairy protein intake on markers of inflammation reported no effect of the intervention. In the 17 trials which evaluated CRP following dairy product interventions, 12 studies reported no change, 4 studies in overweight and obese populations reported a decrease, and 1 study reported an increase in overweight and obese populations. In the 12 trials which evaluated an inflammatory-related cytokine (IL-6, TNF-α and receptors, IL-1β, and/or MCP-1), 7 studies reported no change in markers assessed, and 5 studies (4 of which were in overweight and obese populations) reported a decrease in at least one pro-inflammatory cytokine. A majority of the trials received neutral or positive quality ratings. Conclusions The available literature suggests dairy products and dairy proteins have neutral to beneficial effects on biomarkers of inflammation. Additional clinical studies designed using an inflammatory biomarker as the primary outcome, are needed to fully elucidate the effects of dairy intake on inflammation.

Clinical Diagnostic Criteria

We report a patient presenting with episodes of transient amnesia, some with features suggestive of transient global amnesia (TGA), and some more reminiscent of transient epileptic amnesia. Investigation with neuroimaging revealed an intrinsic lesion in the right amygdala, with features suggestive of low-grade neoplasia. We undertook a systematic review of the literature on TGA and brain tumour. Fewer than 20 cases were identified, some of which did not conform to the clinical diagnostic criteria for TGA. Hence, the concurrence of brain tumour and TGA is very rare and of doubtful aetiological relevance. In some brain tumour-associated cases, epilepsy may be masquerading as TGA.

Increased Risk

The association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and breast cancer (BC) risk is complex. We aimed to examine this association in a systematic review of the literature. This review was done using the PubMed/Medline and Web of Science databases, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale was used for the assessment of bias and quality of studies. Only English-language articles published before 1 June 2021, were included. Fourteen studies were included in this systematic review. Among them, eight did not find statistically significant results. Three studies showed a statistically significant increased risk of BC after GDM, and they explained this potential increased risk by hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and low-grade inflammation. However, three studies showed a statistically significant decreased risk of BC after GDM, suggesting a possible protective effect of hormonal changes induced by GDM during pregnancy. These controversial results should be interpreted with caution due to both quantitative and qualitative methodological shortcomings. Further investigations are thus needed in order to gain a better understanding of the associations between GDM and BC, and their underlying mechanisms.

Purpose We conducted a systematic review of the literature regarding adult telepractice services (screening, assessment, and treatment) from approximately 2014 to 2019. Method Thirty-one relevant studies were identified from a literature search, assessed for quality, and reported. Results Included studies illustrated feasibility, efficacy, diagnostic accuracy, and noninferiority of various speech-language pathology services across adult populations, including chronic aphasia, Parkinson's disease, dysphagia, and primary progressive aphasia. Technical aspects of the equipment and software used to deliver services were discussed. Some general themes were noted as areas for future research. Conclusion Overall, results of the review continue to support the use of telepractice as an appropriate service delivery model in speech-language pathology for adults. Strong research designs, including experimental control, across multiple well-described settings are still needed to definitively determine effectiveness of telepractice services.

Summary: A 49-year-old man was diagnosed with pre-fibrotic myelofibrosis after acute left lower-limb ischemia requiring amputation and portal vein thrombosis. After surgery he developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) with venous thromboembolism, successfully treated with argatroban followed by dabigatran. Our systematic review of the literature supports the use of dabigatran for suspected HIT.
