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.
Article Synopsis
- - 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.

COVID-19 has a high mortality rate in association with diabetes, partially due to the development of thromboembolic events in the context of coronavirus infection. The purpose of this review is to present the most important underlying pathomechanisms in the development of COVID-19-related coagulopathy in diabetic patients.

Lifestyle habits and nutrition influence laboratory parameters, with an impact on clinical course. The objective of the study was to evaluate nutrition and lifestyle habits in hypertensive patients with/without cognitive dysfunction and establish correlations to laboratory parameters.
