Objective: Severe pulmonary embolism (PE) has a high mortality rate, which can be lowered by thrombolytic therapy (TT). However, full-dose TT is associated with major complications, including life-threatening bleeding. The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy and safety of extended, low-dose administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) on in-hospital mortality and outcomes in massive PE.

Patients And Methods: A total of 394 patients, who were scheduled to have CAG were included in this study. Patients who developed radial artery spasms during CAG, performed using the radial artery as the access route, were analyzed for HRV parameters.
Article Synopsis
- Auranofin (AUF) is a gold-based drug that's mainly used to treat arthritis but is being studied for treating cancer too.
- It works by stopping a protein called thioredoxin reductase, but it also affects cancer cells in other ways depending on the type of cancer and how much is used.
- In tests on breast cancer cells, AUF caused stress inside the cells that made them stop growing and weakened their structure, showing that AUF can have special effects that might help fight cancer better.
Prognostic nutritional index (PNI), consisting of inflammatory-nutritional parameters, has been investigated in terms of outcomes and renal function in patients with coronary artery disease. The objective of this study is to assess the predictive power of the PNI in predicting the risk for developing contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI), an important complication following coronary angiography in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The study population (336 patients with the diagnosis of NSTEMI) was divided into two groups: patients with CA-AKI and patients without CA-AKI.
