Oxidative stress is a pathological condition that contributes to the onset of various diseases. In this way, studying oxidative stress could lead to significant discoveries in the field of therapeutic and preventive medicine. Lipid peroxidation is the most significant event in the oxidative stress process and the gold standard biomarkers for endogenous oxidative damage to lipids are isoprostanes (IsoPs).

The exposure to neurotoxins has also been reported by causing emotional and neuroendocrine effects and these effects may be sex-specific. However, the effects of BMAA on emotions and pain, as well as neuroendocrine modulations remain poorly understood.

- - The study aimed to identify clinical and imaging indicators that predict malperfusion syndrome following blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI), as this is a poorly understood condition.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 19,203 trauma patients treated between January 2021 and October 2023, focusing on those with BTAI and correlating their clinical and imaging findings with outcomes post-thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).
- - Results indicated that patients showing signs of traumatic thoracic aortic coarctation (TTAC) were more likely to experience malperfusion issues if there was a delay in TEVAR, suggesting that urgent repair is crucial for those with TTAC.
