Objectives: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is the most severe manifestation of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The Naples prognostic score (NPS), a composite marker incorporating serum albumin, total cholesterol, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), has shown prognostic value in various cardiovascular conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of the NPS in predicting all-cause mortality and any kind of amputation in patients with CLTI undergoing endovascular treatment (EVT) for below-the-knee (BTK) lesions.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLithium-rich layered oxide materials (Li-NMC) are considered a potential cathode material for next-generation batteries, thanks to their high theoretical specific capacity. Large potential drop and capacity loss after long cycles are the main obstacles to expanding commercial utilization of Li-NMC. In the past decade, great efforts have been made to overcome those issues of Li-NMCs.

- The study investigates the neuroprotective effects of Thymoquinone (TQ) and Metformin (MM) on Parkinson's disease by testing their effects separately and in combination on mice.* -
- Mice treated with TQ, MM, or both showed significant improvements in motor coordination and reduced markers of oxidative stress and neurodegeneration compared to the control group.* -
- Findings suggest that TQ and MM together may be more effective than either alone, providing evidence for their potential as a therapy for Parkinson's disease.*
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the levels of α-Klotho, a protein with neuroprotective properties, in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) compared to healthy controls.
- Results show that PD patients have significantly lower serum α-Klotho levels (0.85 nmol/L) than controls (1.47 nmol/L), with a notable decrease in those with dementia.
- The research indicates α-Klotho might be a potential biomarker for PD, but further studies are necessary to validate these results.
Background: Double-kissing (DK) crush and DK culotte are the recommended 2-stent strategies in true coronary bifurcation lesions. However, it is a matter of curiosity about which of the DK crush and DK culotte stenting techniques will have superior results. We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of DK crush and DK culotte stenting in nonleft main coronary artery bifurcation.
