Determination of aflatoxin M1 in breast milk and related factors.
Breastfeeding in women with aflatoxin M1 exposure may be a risk factor for the newborn. Thus, it is crucial to determine aflatoxin M1 levels in breast milk and raise mothers' awareness about nutrition in lactation and other periods. This study was carried out to determine aflatoxin M1 contamination in milk samples taken from mothers who gave birth. ⋯ This study emphasized the importance of monitoring aflatoxin M1 levels in breast milk for infant health. It is thought that nutrition education given to mothers during pregnancy will significantly impact aflatoxin M1 results. In addition, the dangers of mycotoxins in mother-infant nutrition should be emphasized regularly in health education.

A prospective study of living kidney donors: 6 years follow-up from a cardiovascular disease risk perspective.
The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the clinical, laboratory, and donation-specific outcomes of living kidney donors 6 years after donation. ⋯ Our data have demonstrated that the reduction in Glomerular filtration rate induced by kidney donation might cause an increase in adverse renal and cardiovascular events.

Effects of statin response on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of statin response on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. ⋯ The present study showed that over half of the patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction did not exhibit optimal low-density lipoprotein cholesterol response to statin. These patients have an increased risk of future major adverse cardiovascular events.

Relationship between contrast-induced nephropathy and long-term mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with chronic coronary total occlusion.
Intervention in chronic total occlusion lesions involves long procedure time, a serious contrast load, and complex procedures. In this study, we aimed to investigate mortality rate of patients who had procedural coronary angiography done for chronic total occlusion lesions in coronary angiography series and who developed contrast-induced nephropathy. ⋯ We identified that the development of contrast-induced nephropathy is associated with long-term mortality. It might be possible to reduce adverse events with prophylactic approaches before the procedure and close follow-up of such patients after the procedure.
