Background Carotid wall abnormalities are significant predictors of cardiovascular events, including ischemic stroke. Identifying the clinical and biochemical risk factors associated with these abnormalities can aid in early intervention and prevention strategies. This study aimed to assess the association between lipid profiles, age, gender, smoking habits, hypertension, and carotid wall abnormalities in patients.

- The study investigates early-onset coronary artery disease (CAD) in individuals aged 45 or younger, focusing on factors affecting their health, symptoms, and treatment following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
- Conducted over six months with 100 STEMI patients, it found a mean age of 42.5 years, with most patients being male, and identified key risk factors such as smoking, obesity, and hypertension.
- The majority of cases involved chest discomfort, with the left anterior descending artery being most affected; treatment included various types of PCI and CABG, yet there were no recorded fatalities during the study.
Background There is great variation in the etiology, predisposing organisms, incidence, clinical characteristics, severity, and consequences of skin and/or subcutaneous tissue infections. Extensive necrosis of the subcutaneous tissues and fascia is a characteristic of necrotizing soft tissue infections, which are frequently deadly. To change the course of treatment, this study highlights the need to find a tool that can quickly and accurately identify patients with necrotizing fasciitis (NF) and assist in making an early treatment decision.
