Background: Due to the lack of a prior comprehensive review and meta-analysis, the relationship between monocyte count and thrombus load in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been adequately established.
Methods: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis of multiple cohorts (retrospective and prospective) and cross-sectional studies.We queried electronic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Central) from their inception to April 2022.
The objective of this study was the develop of fortified cookies enriched with oats flour and bitter gourd powder and monitoring the effects of these enrichments on the physicochemical, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and sensory attributes. This study was subjected to four treatments: control (0% oats flour and bitter gourd powder), T1 (10% oats flour), T2 (3% bitter gourd powder), and T3 (7% oats flour and 3% bitter gourd powder). Various physical properties of the cookies, including weight, thickness, diameter, spread ratio, baking loss, pH, and color values (L*, a*, and b*), were measured.

This study investigated the impact of SESN2 on methylglyoxal (MGO)-induced endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT). Human endothelial cells were transfected with SESN2 siRNA duplexes to silence SESN2 expression, followed by MGO treatment.

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, including machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), offer promising solutions to enhance diagnostic accuracy and optimize treatment strategies for GCA. This systematic review, conducted according to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, synthesizes existing literature on AI applications in GCA care, with a focus on diagnostic accuracy, treatment outcomes, and predictive modeling.
