Effectiveness and Safety of Contemporary Drug-Eluting Stents in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well-known risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events in patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Limited data are available on the relative performance of different types of contemporary drug-eluting stents (DES) for diabetic patients.

Objectives: The authors investigated the effectiveness and safety profiles of several contemporary DES in patients with DM in a "real-world" clinical setting.

A NiCoP nanocluster-anchored porous TiCT monolayer as high performance hydrogen evolution reaction electrocatalysts.

MXenes have received much attention as promising candidates for noble metal-free hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts due to their high electrical conductivity, surface hydrophilicity, abundant surface functional groups, and great potential for rational hybridization with other materials. Herein, a novel porous monolayered-TiCT@NiCoP (P-TiCT@NiCoP) nanostructure was synthesized with uniform distribution of bimetallic compounds for improved charge transfer capability and electrocatalytic activity. In experiments, HO-utilized oxidation formed a highly mesoporous structure with a maximized surface area of monolayered MXenes as the support.

Impact of Sarcopenia on Acute Kidney Injury after Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Surgery: A Propensity Matching Analysis.

Background: Sarcopenia contributes to increased morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). However, few reports have demonstrated whether sarcopenia would affect the development of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in these patients. This study aimed to examine whether sarcopenia is associated with AKI and morbidity and mortality after infrarenal AAA operation.
