The prognostic value of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in ischemic stroke remains debated due to cohort variability and treatment heterogeneity across studies. This study evaluates the relationship between admission NLR, stroke severity and 90-day outcomes in patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO) undergoing early, successful revascularization. A retrospective multicenter study was conducted with 1082 patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.

In our study, we aimed to retrospectively compare vNOTES hysterectomy, a new method, with a vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). Our study included 186 hysterectomy cases (62 vNOTES hysterectomy, 62 VH, and 62 TLH) with benign indications diagnosed between 2021 and 2022. Our study is a retrospective and single-center study.

The postpartum period is a well-defined risk factor for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). However, it is unclear which patients are at risk for CVST in the postpartum period. Thus, determining some CVST risk factors in postpartum patients may be useful for preventing the disorder in this population.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed how well the Haller index can predict the risk of recurrence in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax.
  • Data from 285 patients (mostly young men) who had undergone CT scans were analyzed over several years, categorizing them into those who experienced recurrence and those who did not.
  • Results indicated that a higher Haller index was linked to a greater risk of recurrence, suggesting that using this index could help identify high-risk patients for better management strategies.

The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in human health, affecting metabolic, immune, and cognitive functions. While the impact of various dietary components on the microbiome is well-studied, the effect of legumes remains less explored. This review examines the influence of legume consumption on gut microbiome composition, diversity, and metabolite production, based on 10 human and 21 animal studies.
