We assessed the advanced lipoprotein profile in T1DM individuals, and analysed differences with non-diabetic counterparts. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 508 adults with T1DM and 347 controls, recruited from institutions in a Mediterranean region of Spain. Conventional and advanced (assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR] spectroscopy) lipoprotein profiles were analysed. Crude and adjusted (by age, sex, statin use, body mass index and leukocyte count) comparisons were performed. Results The median (interquartile range) age of the study participants was 45 (38–53) years, 48.2% were men. In the T1DM group, the median diabetes duration was 23 (16–31) years, and 8.1% and 40.2% of individuals had nephropathy and retinopathy, respectively. The proportion of participants with hypertension (29.5 vs. 9.2%), and statin use (45.7% vs. 8.1%) was higher in the T1DM vs. controls (p < 0.001). The T1DM group had a better conventional (all parameters, p < 0.001) and NMR-lipid profile than the control group. Thus, T1DM individuals showed lower concentrations of atherogenic lipoproteins (VLDL-particles and LDL-particles) and higher concentrations of anti-atherogenic lipoproteins (HDL-particles) vs. controls, even after adjusting for several confounders (p < 0.001 for all). While non-diabetic women had a more favourable lipid profile than non-diabetic men, women with T1DM had a similar concentration of LDL-particles compared to men with T1DM (1231 [1125–1383] vs. 1257 [1128–1383] nmol/L, p = 0.849), and a similar concentration of small-LDL-particles to non-diabetic women (672.8 [614.2–733.9] vs. 671.2 [593.5–761.4] nmol/L, respectively; p = 0.790). Finally, T1DM individuals showed higher discrepancies between NMR-LDL-particles and conventional LDL-cholesterol than non-diabetic subjects (prevalence of LDL-cholesterol < 100 mg/dL & LDL-particles > 1000 nmol/L: 38 vs. 21.2%; p < 0.001). All these differences were largely unchanged in participants without lipid-lowering drugs (T1DM, n = 275; controls, n = 317). Conclusions Overall, T1DM participants showed a more favourable conventional and NMR-lipid profile than controls. However, the NMR-assessment identified several lipoprotein derangements in LDL-particles among the T1DM population (higher discrepancies in NMR-LDL-particles vs. conventional LDL-cholesterol; a worse profile in T1DM women) that were overlooked in the conventional analysis. Further studies are needed to elucidate their role in the development of CVD in this population.
- ArticleIndoor NO2, temperature, and humidity in relation to maternal stress, sleep, and cognitive performance during pregnancy(Elsevier Ltd., 2026-10-27) Opbroek, Jet Sophie; Mueller, Natalie; Zhao, Y.; Domínguez, Àngela R.; Persavento, Cecilia; Ferrer, Montse; Gómez Roig, Ma. Dolores; Llurba Olivé, Elisa; Dadvand, Payam; Rivas, Ioar; Koch, Sarah; García Aymerich, JudithBackground: Evidence characterising indoor environmental exposures and their effects on maternal neurobehavioural well-being during pregnancy remains scarce. Aim: To estimate the associations between indoor residential environmental exposures (nitrogen dioxide (NO2), temperature, and relative humidity (RH)) and maternal neurobehavioural well-being (measured as perceived stress, sleep quality, and cognitive performance). Methods: We included pregnant individuals (n = 906) from the population-based Barcelona Life Study Cohort (BiSC) who were recruited from 2018 to 2021. Weekly average indoor residential NO2 concentrations, temperature, and RH were objectively measured in participants’ homes at ∼ 12 and ∼ 32 weeks of gestation using indoor monitoring devices. Linear, negative binomial, and mixed-effects regression models estimated the associations between indoor environmental exposures and perceived stress (10-item Perceived Stress Scale [PSS-10]), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]), and cognitive performance (N-back reaction time and Primary Mental Abilities-Revised [PMA-R]); PSQI was assessed at both visits, while PSS-10 and cognitive tests were performed at ∼ 32 weeks of gestation only. Results: After covariate adjustment, higher indoor NO2 exposure was associated with higher perceived stress (0.66 points (95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.11, 1.21; p = 0.019)) and a greater increase in PSS-10 scores for a NO2 interquartile range increase (11.2 µg/m3) but not with sleep quality or cognitive performance. Indoor temperature and RH metrics, including nighttime minima and maxima, were not associated with any outcome. Conclusion: Our findings suggest an association between indoor NO2 concentration and prenatal perceived stress, indicating that the residential environment may be a relevant factor in maternal antenatal health that warrants further investigation.

David Barnett estudia les fonts del que es conserva al ms. 6 de l’Arxiu Capitular de Barcelona.1 Després de detallar breument el contingut del còdex, en què detecta dos grups de miracles separats per alguns textos poètics que marquen la transició, Barnett es pregunta si el recull de miracles és còpia d’una altra col·lecció o bé una compilació original.
