Locked Dimerized CXCL12 Exerts Radiosensitizing Effects in Head and Neck Cancer.

Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) presents significant treatment challenges, particularly in cases unrelated to human papillomavirus (HPV). The chemokine receptor CXCR4, interacting with its ligand CXCL12, plays a crucial role in tumor proliferation, metastasis, and treatment resistance. This study explores the therapeutic potential of engineered monomeric and dimerized CXCL12 variants (CXCL12 and CXCL12, respectively) in HNSCC and evaluates potential additive effects when combined with radiation therapy.

Trimethylamine N-oxide in cardiovascular disease: Pathophysiology and the potential role of statins.

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide, with the total number of cases increasing to 523 million in 2019. Despite the advent of new drugs, cardiovascular mortality has increased at an alarming rate of 53.7 % from 12.

ADMISSION FRAILTY SCORE AS A GOOD CLINICAL SUBSTITUTE OF SOFA SCORE TO PROGNOSTICATE POST-PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION PATIENTS ON ADVANCED LIFE-SUPPORT.

Background: This study aimed to assess and compare the prognostic value of frailty score (FS), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, and additive of FS and SOFA score, at the time of admission to the coronary care unit (CCU), for the prediction of short-term poor prognosis in post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients, requiring advanced life-support.

Methods: A cohort of post-MI patients admitted to CCU. The FS and SOFA score were obtained at the time of CCU admission.
