Precocious puberty (PP) is a most common condition encountered in pediatric endocrinology practice. Articles reporting on increasingly early pubertal development have recently been published in the lay press, thus resulting in numerous questions from parents regarding their children's pubertal development. PP can be defined as the onset of secondary sexual characteristics, along with accelerated growth and bone maturation, occurring earlier than usual, e.g., prior to the age of 8 years in girls and 9 in boys. PP etiologies can be divided into gonadotropinreleasing hormone (GnRH)-dependent and GnRH-independent causes. GnRHdependent PP, often referred to as central PP, is usually treated using GnRHagonists.

This article describes several advances made in the dyslipidemia and cardiovascular prevention fields. These novelties pertain to the three steps of prevention: prediction including screening for two common, but often ignored, genetic abnormalities, namely familial hypercholesterolemia and elevated lipoprotein(a) levels, planning with the emergence in recommendations of a new target called "non-HDL cholesterol or non-HDL-C" in addition to the conventional "LDL-cholesterol or LDL-C" target, and prescription with the possible option of combining statins with other therapeutic classes.
