Stress hyperglycaemia ratio is an independent predictor of in-hospital heart failure among patients with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Background: Stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) has been reported to be independently and significantly associated with various adverse cardiovascular events as well as mortality. Moreover, in-hospital heart failure following acute myocardial infarction has been demonstrated to account for majority of all heart failure (HF) cases with anterior myocardial infarction showing higher rates of HF. However, the association between SHR and in-hospital HF following an anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been reported earlier.

The Role of Pro-Inflammatory Chemokines CCL-1, 2, 4, and 5 in the Etiopathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Subjects from the Asir Region of Saudi Arabia: Correlation with Different Degrees of Obesity.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is becoming a major global health concern, especially in developing nations. The high prevalence of obesity and related diabetes cases are attributed to rapid economic progress, physical inactivity, the consumption of high-calorie foods, and changing lifestyles.

Objectives: We investigated the roles of pro-inflammatory chemokines CCL1, 2, 4, and 5 in T2DM with varying levels of obesity in the Asir region of Saudi Arabia.

Successful Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction with New Lung Tensioning Device Coil: A Case Report.

Introduction: Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) using endobronchial coil treatment is a widely studied therapeutic option in patients with end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary emphysema. However, patient responses were inconsistent, and, from 2020, production discontinuation rendered the treatment unavailable. In the meantime, a next-generation lung tensioning coil (FreeFlow Coil 4; FreeFlow Medical, Inc.
