Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by gradual cognitive impairment, including loss of synapses and nerve cells involved in learning, memory, and habit formation processes. Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs) are multipotent cells. Because of their self-renewable, differentiation, and immunomodulatory capabilities, they are commonly used to treat many disorders.

Background: Ischemic conditioning may help patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) to limit ventricular remodeling.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPC) on left ventricular function during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in patients with STEMI.

Material And Methods: Pre- and post-test intervention study with a total of 60 STEMI patients.

Introduction: Our study aims to observe the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in lowering amyloid accumulation and ryanodine receptor 3 (RYR3) gene expression, further improving cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Methods: Twenty male adult Wistar rats were randomly distributed into three groups of animals ( = 5). The AlCl group was given 300 mg/kg body weight (BW) of AlCl intraperitoneally for 5 days, further the MSC injection, and their effect after 30 days was observed.

Background: Delirium is a disorder of acute full attention, and cognitive function commonly occurs at elderly which  can prolong hospitalization, dependence rate, morbidity, and mortality, with pneumonia infection as one of its risk factors. Several markers have been studied for delirium, but relationship between delirium severity and persistence remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the role of hs-CRP, pNF-H, S100B, and NLR to predict delirium persistence.

Objectives: Gestational diabetes (GDM) complications affect maternal and fetus . GDM's vascular dysfunction showed inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) alteration and was linked to the higher production of nitrogen species, leading to diabetic embryopathy. () has been reported for its anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects.

The vascular endothelium plays a vital role in regulating normal vascular function. Endothelial lining maintains the balance of thrombolytic and fibrinolytic microenvironment in the vasculature. Alterations of vascular endothelium referred to as endothelial dysfunction, caused the pathological changes in vessel wall such activation of proinflammatory and procoagulatory that initiate atherosclerosis.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major health problem for morbidity and mortality world-wide due to diabetic vascular complication. Following T2DM, dyslipidemia is known well for the main reason of vascular complication leading to atherosclerosis and impaired life expectancy in diabetes. Thus, a new prediction marker in T2DM could help prevent the progression disease despite of metabolic control.

Background: Dengue is a major communicable disease in tropical areas, with an increasing prevalence every year. Thrombocytopenia is one of the commonly used laboratory parameters for predicting the severity of the disease. It is detected on day 6 or day 7 after the febrile stage, and its presence indicates that the disease has become potentially fatal.

Inhibition of atherosclerosis progression has long been the subject of intensive pathophysiologic investigations. The identification of a novel target molecule to redeem the cellular processes remains a major challenge in cardiology. Signal peptide CUB domain EGF-like repeat protein (SCUBE) family has been detected on human tissues and cultured cells.
