Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the geometrical effects of three different carotid stents on the carotid bifurcation in patients who underwent carotid artery stenting (CAS), revealing variations in anatomical changes after stent placement.
- - A total of 226 patients were analyzed, showing the Roadsaver stent resulted in a greater change in the angle between common carotid artery (CCA) and internal carotid artery (ICA) compared to the other two stents, but this did not significantly affect the rate of restenosis.
- - Overall, the Roadsaver stent's lower adaptability to the carotid vascular area suggests it might cause more pronounced angulations post-implantation, while the Carotid Wallstent and C
Article Synopsis
- * In a study of pediatric and adult patients, a significant portion showed IgG antibodies localizing to kidney proteins, but the presence of these antibodies varied, indicating potential involvement of other proteins.
- * Patients with anti-slit antibodies were more likely to develop nephrotic syndrome and showed a higher response rate to second-line immunosuppressants, while those without these antibodies had a greater risk of kidney failure.
The present work reports the development and validation of a chromosomal expression system in Streptococcus pneumoniae which permits gene expression under the control of Lactococcus lactis lantibiotic nisin. The system is based on the integrative and conjugative element (ICE) Tn5253 of S. pneumoniae capable of site-specific chromosomal integration and conjugal transfer to a variety of bacterial species.

The co-presence of both diseases defines a peculiar type of patient who needs a specific protocol of treatment and follow-up. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of aortic disease in a population of patients with a diagnosis of primary lung cancer.

- - Chronic kidney disease affects about 10% of people globally and can lead to serious health issues; understanding its genetic factors is crucial, especially in younger patients.
- - Researchers can isolate renal progenitors from urine to create disease models, which aid in diagnosing genetic kidney diseases and testing new treatments.
- - Urine-derived renal progenitors are a noninvasive and efficient way to enhance diagnosis and treatment options, contributing to more personalized healthcare approaches.
