Relationship between serum cholesterol and Graves' orbitopathy (GO): a confirmatory study
The abstract of this paper is like many others in that it switches between "high cholesterol" and "low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol". Well, perhaps it all makes more sense in the full paper? (Though that is behind a paywall.) Still, the simple observation of an association is interesting and

Hepatic Encepalopathy medications (Lactulose and Rifamixin OR L-ornithine and L-aspartate)
Which medication would be better to treat HE. The doctor is giving my mom L-ornithine and L-aspartate. My mom has HE and is suffering from delusions which are getting worse. I told my sister that Lactulose is a common medication to treat HE as I have read on the internet and told her to ask the doctor

RLS Relief
There's one medication I have taken that works 100% and has never failed...Valium. I was on the smallest dose and had zero problems. I have it so severe, I'm up till 3 am after going to bed at 10 PM, doing squats and running up and down the stairs trying to fatigue my muscles. I've cried and thought

Triglycerides
If trigs are lowest ever by LDL and total cholesterol are high does this mean that despite the figures, this is a good result as VLDL in LDL is actually also very low? (HDL is 1.2) UK: Total C: 6.8 LDL: 4.5 HDL : 1.2 Trigs: 1.2 Probable cause of trigs falling: weightloss more exercise LCHF (fat being

Glucosamine - possible effects on lipid profiles
I had a heart attack in 2005 at the age of 54. Stent in right coronary artery, put on simvastatin 40mg, bisopolol 2.5mg and aspirin. Very good lipid profile for several years. After 10 years on the simvastatin I was changed to Atorvastatin 30mg. Over the last few years I have been trying to reduce

Lipomas
Random question: Has anyone had a lot of lipomas post diagnosis of ITP or post splenectomy? I have recently started getting what I thought were swollen lymph nodes on my chest, shoulders and arms, but my GP seems to think they are lipomas. Just wondering if any one else had this happen.
