The Diagnostic Utility of Natural Killer Cell Subsets in Deep Vein Thrombosis.

Background: Natural killer (NK) cells are important components of adaptive and innate immune responses. NK cell subsets have different functions and may play a role in vascular disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the proportions of NK cells and their subsets to determine whether they can be used as markers of venous thrombosis and to identify whether there was a link between NK cell proportion and citrullinated histone (H3) levels.

The Correlation Between C-Peptide and Severity of Peripheral Atherosclerosis in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Background: One of the major issues affecting global health is Diabetes mellitus (DM), not only in terms of the disease itself but also its complications. Macrovascular complications are both common and serious, affecting many patients. This study aimed to assess fasting C-peptide levels and correlate them with the severity of the peripheral arterial disease complicating type 2 DM (T2DM).
