Association of Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 With Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Acute Cerebral Infarction Patients.

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is an inflammatory marker associated with atherosclerotic and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to explore the association of Lp-PLA2 with carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and explore a threshold level to predict the risk of vulnerable plaques. This retrospective observational study included patients with AIS in the Neurology Department of our Hospital between January 2018 and December 2019.

Cutaneous and breast metastasis from colorectal adenocarcinoma: A rare case report.

Synchronous breast and cutaneous metastases from colorectal adenocarcinoma as the initial clinical manifestation, without visceral metastases, are extremely rare.
