Comparative effectiveness of ultrathin vs. standard strut drug-eluting stents: insights from a large-scale meta-analysis with extended follow-up.

Background: Newer generation ultrathin strut stents are associated with less incidence of target lesion failure (TLF) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the short term. However, its long-term effect on different cardiovascular outcomes remains unknown.

Objectives: We aim to identify the effects of newer-generation ultrathin-strut stents vs.

Impact of frailty on post-operative outcomes following subarachnoid hemorrhage: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity, particularly among elderly patients. The presence of frailty may impact survival rates in patients with SAH. In this study, we aim to investigate the impact of frailty on the clinical outcomes in SAH patients.

Evaluating the effectiveness of combined T4 and T3 therapy or desiccated thyroid versus T4 monotherapy in hypothyroidism: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Persistent symptoms in hypothyroid patients despite normalized TSH levels suggest the need for alternative treatments. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combined T4 and T3 therapy or desiccated thyroid (DTE) compared to T4 monotherapy, with a focus on thyroid profile, lipid profile, and quality of life metrics.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review in Embase, Medline/PubMed, and Web of Science up to 11/23/2023.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) role in hypertension: pathogenesis and promising therapeutics.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that play a crucial role in regulating various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and disease development. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of miRNAs in the development and progression of essential hypertension, a common form of high blood pressure that affects millions of individuals worldwide. The molecular mechanisms by which miRNAs regulate hypertension are complex and multifaceted.

Could the New BA.2.75 Sub-Variant Cause the Emergence of a Global Epidemic of COVID-19? A Scoping Review.

With over 58 million cases and 6 million deaths by August 2022, the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), causing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARs-CoV-2), has had an insurmountable impact on the world's population. This is one of the worst health crises since 1918's influenza pandemic. There are four subvariants of Omicron; BA.

Successful use of therapeutic anticoagulation therapy in two patients with moderate stroke from the second day of onset: A case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic stroke is one of the most traumatic consequences of ischemic stroke. Therefore, deciding the optimal time for anticoagulant application and its effect on clinical outcome, recurrence and risk for hemorrhagic transformation are still in quarry. The European Heart Rhythm Association recommends the usage of anticoagulants after 3-4 days after a mild stroke, 6 days after moderate stroke and 12 days after a severe stroke.
