Immediate Destiny of Bifurcation Lesions Treated with Biomatrix Alpha Stents.

Background: About 15% of coronary artery interventions are performed on coronary artery bifurcation. Managing these lesions presents a significant therapeutic obstacle in the context of coronary artery issues. Addressing both immediate and lasting side effects of these lesions demands ongoing monitoring and action.

Assessment of short-term results of thrombosuction during primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

The study investigated the short-term outcomes of thrombosuction during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The study consisted of 57 patients who underwent primary or rescue PCI. The effect of thrombosuction on thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow, failure to restore blood flow in the target vessel, and occurrence of mortality were reviewed in patients.

Clearing the Path: Exploring Apoptotic Cell Clearance in Inflammatory and Autoimmune Disorders for Therapeutic Advancements.

Inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, characterized by dysregulated immune responses leading to tissue damage and chronic inflammation, present significant health challenges. This review uniquely focuses on efferocytosis-the phagocyte-mediated clearance of apoptotic cells-and its pivotal role in these disorders. We delve into the intricate mechanisms of efferocytosis' four stages and their implications in disease pathogenesis, distinguishing our study from previous literature.

Is opium use related to the increased risk of oral cavity cancers? A case-control study in Iran.

Background: Oral cavity cancers (OCCs) are the sixth most prevalent cancers in the world. There are strong evidences showing the risk of the cigarette smoking, alcohol use, poor oral hygiene and some types of diets in OCCs; however, few studies explored the relationship between opium and its derivatives (O&D) use and OCCs incidence. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between consumption of O&D and the incidence of OCCs.

Evaluation of the Effect of Pistacia atlantica Oleoresin on Blood Sugar, Pressure and Lipids in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Single-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterised by high blood sugar (BS) levels due to impaired insulin production or insulin resistance. It is a global health concern with significant implications for morbidity and mortality. Persian medicine has long utilised natural remedies, such as Pistacia atlantica Desf.
