Cholesterol homeostasis is dysregulated in women with preeclampsia.
The link between preeclampsia and dyslipidemia has been established. Even though lipid profile parameters have been intensively investigated in the pathology of preeclampsia, their accurate molecular mechanisms of action have not been fully decoded. ⋯ Late-onset preeclampsia could be associated with an altered lipid profile. By studying the quantitative metabolic signatures of cholesterol, we might assume that both cholesterol synthesis and absorption are increased, that is, there is an imbalance in the cholesterol homeostasis regulation in women affected by the disease.

Inability to exist independently in the course of breast cancer-main risk factors.
A number of articles focus on functioning in breast cancer. However, there are no papers on factors which result in the inability to live independently in the course of the disease. ⋯ Information on the presence of metastases and on the type of surgery is useful in assessing the risk of being unable to live independently in patients with breast cancer. The Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living is helpful in assessing the inability to live independently.
