Usefulness of ocular ultrasound for monitoring acute retinal arterial ischemia.

Introduction: The ocular ultrasound spot sign negatively predicts the success of thrombolytic treatment in retinal arterial occlusions. We evaluated the presence of the spot sign in these patients.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study of patients with acute central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) or its branches (BRAO).

The Influence of Remnant Cholesterol on Cardiovascular Risk and Mortality in Patients with Non-Functional Adrenal Incidentalomas and Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

: Increased cardiovascular risk has been described in individuals with adrenal incidentalomas. The aim of the present study is to assess the effect of remnant cholesterol (RC) on the cardiovascular risk and mortality of patients with adrenal incidentalomas. : A retrospective cohort study was conducted with patients with adrenal incidentalomas between 2001 and 2024.

Reactive oxygen species activate the Drosophila TNF receptor Wengen for damage-induced regeneration.

Tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFRs) control pleiotropic pro-inflammatory functions that range from apoptosis to cell survival. The ability to trigger a particular function will depend on the upstream cues, association with regulatory complexes, and downstream pathways. In Drosophila melanogaster, two TNFRs have been identified, Wengen (Wgn) and Grindelwald (Grnd).

Mitochondrial Role on Cellular Apoptosis, Autophagy, and Senescence during Osteoarthritis Pathogenesis.

Authors have demonstrated that apoptosis activation is a pathway related to cartilage degradation characteristics of the OA process. Autophagy is an adaptive response to protect cells from various environmental changes, and defects in autophagy are linked to cell death. In this sense, decreased autophagy of chondrocytes has been observed in OA articular cartilage.

Pilot Trial on Ischemic Conditioning of the Gastric Conduit in Esophageal Cancer: Feasibility and Impact on Anastomotic Leakage (TIGOAL-I).

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of gastric conditioning using preoperative arterial embolization (PAE) before McKeown esophagectomy at a tertiary university hospital.

Background: Cervical anastomotic leakage (AL) is a common complication of esophagectomy. Limited clinical evidence suggests that gastric conditioning mitigates this risk.
