Article Synopsis
- * The study evaluated 62 patients (both diabetic and non-diabetic) undergoing lower limb surgeries, measuring various inflammatory and biochemical markers before and after the procedures.
- * Key findings showed correlations between specific markers (like IL-6 and TNF-α) and complications, indicating that monitoring these factors can help identify patients at higher risk and improve their management.
There is an increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM), particularly type 2 DM (T2DM), and its associated complications. T2DM is linked to insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress, which can lead to both macrovascular and microvascular complications, including peripheral diabetic neuropathy (PDN). Inflammatory processes play a key role in the development and progression of T2DM and its complications, with specific markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukins (ILs), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α being associated with increased risk.

- - The study explored how demographics, cardiovascular diseases, kidney issues, and depression affect cognitive function in patients with cardiovascular diseases, using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to categorize cognitive health.
- - Analysis of 628 patients revealed that over half had mild cognitive dysfunction (CD), with significant correlations found between CD severity and factors like age, education level, and renal dysfunction; notably, older age and female gender were risk factors for advanced CD.
- - The findings concluded that mild CD is prevalent among heart disease patients, highlighting that older age, lower education, a non-smoking status, and kidney issues elevate the risk of cognitive decline, while a history of atrial fibrillation and strokes increase the risk for more severe cases. *
: Our study investigated the inverse relationship between cognitive decline (CD) and the presence of documented atrial fibrillation (AFib), ischemic stroke, heart failure, lower extremity peripheral artery disease, and diabetes mellitus. : We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study between December 2016 and November 2019. A total of 469 patients were enrolled who underwent cognitive evaluation with three cognitive tests (Montreal Cognitive Assessment-MOCA, Mini-Mental State Examination-MMSE, and General Practitioner Assessment of Cognition-GPCOG).

Antihypertensive therapy includes a wide variety of drugs. Additionally, the potential antihypertensive and cardioprotective effects of several phytotherapy products have been evaluated, as these could also be a valuable therapeutic option for the prevention, improvement or treatment of hypertension and its complications.
