Background: Previous studies suggest similar cardiovascular (CV) benefits for either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD). However, limited data exist on the influence of prior cerebrovascular disease (CEVD). Thus, we aim to compare the CV outcomes in patients with LMCAD and prior CEVD, undergoing either PCI or CABG.

Although certain interleukins have been extensively researched about cardiovascular disease (CVD), new findings have identified unique members of the interleukin family that could potentially play a role in cardiovascular well-being and ailments. This review discusses the current understanding of the role of these recently identified interleukins, such as IL-27, IL-31, IL-32, IL-33, and the IL-28 group (IL-28A, IL-28B, IL-29), in the development of cardiovascular diseases.

The expression levels of many lncRNAs are elevated in metastatic lung cancer patients compared to non-metastatic lung cancer patients.
Objectives: The primary objective of the study was to investigate the association between the expression levels of three lncRNAs (MALAT1, HOTAIR, and AFAP1-AS1) and lymph node metastasis (LNM) of lung cancer.
The role of humans in industry is changing due to the technological transformation of production processes, which represents a potential source of stress for workers. In this context, the NO-STRESS project aims to combine objective and subjective data collected during task execution to explore causes of work-related stress and propose solutions to mitigate them. This paper describes the within-subjects study design used in the project, where each participant was exposed to all experimental conditions, and outlines the workflow developed during the study.
