Association of dietary inflammatory index and systemic inflammatory markers with mortality risk in depressed adults: a mediation analysis of NHANES data.

Background: Previous research has linked systemic inflammatory markers and the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) with depression. However, the relationship between DII and these markers, and their impact on mortality risk among depressed adults, remains underexplored. This study aims to explore the association between DII and systemic inflammatory markers and their mediating effect on mortality risk in adults with depression.

Nomogram Development and Validation for Predicting Postoperative Recurrent Lumbar Disc Herniation Based on Paraspinal Muscle Parameters.

Purpose: Previous studies highlight paraspinal muscles' significance in spinal stability. This study aims to assess paraspinal muscle predictiveness for postoperative recurrent lumbar disc herniation (PRLDH) after lumbar disc herniation patients undergo percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy (PETD).

Patients And Methods: Retrospectively collected data from 232 patients undergoing PETD treatment at our institution between January 2020 and January 2023, randomly allocated into training (60%) and validation (40%) groups.

Paraspinal muscle parameters' predictive value for new vertebral compression fractures post-vertebral augmentation: Nomogram development and validation.

Objective: Prior research underscores the significance of paraspinal muscles in maintaining spinal stability. This study aims to investigate the predictive value of paraspinal muscle parameters for the occurrence of new vertebral compression fractures (NVCF) following percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF).

Methods: Retrospectively collected data from October 2019 to February 2021 (internal validation,  = 235) and March 2021 to November 2021 (external validation,  = 105) for patients with OVCF treated with PVP/PKP at our institution.

Development and Validation of a Nomogram Predicting Postoperative Recurrent Lumbar Disc Herniation Based on Activity Factors.

Purpose: To develop an individualized predictive model for postoperative recurrent lumbar disc herniation (PRLDH) in patients undergoing percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy (PETD) by considering postoperative activity factors.

Patients And Methods: Retrospectively collected data from 612 LDH patients who underwent PETD in our institution from January 2017 to June 2023. They were divided into a training group (429 cases) and a validation group (183 cases).

Feasibility study of Syngo iFlow in predicting hemodynamic improvement post-endovascular procedure in peripheral artery disease.

Objective: This study endeavors to examine the feasibility of predicting the clinical outcomes of patients suffering from peripheral artery disease (PAD) who undergo endovascular intervention, by employing the Syngo iFlow technology.

Methods: Retrospectively enrolling 76 patients from December 2021 to May 2023, yielding a total of 77 affected limbs, this study employs clinical outcomes (improvement or otherwise) as the gold standard. Two physicians conducted visual assessments on both DSA and iFlow images to gauge patient improvement and assessed inter-observer consistency for each image modality.

Diagnostic Value of Lower Extremity Venous Duplication via Digital Subtraction Angiography Guided Venography.

Introduction: Lower limb venous anomalies, including duplicated veins, are common and have significant impacts on the outcomes and efficacy of venous surgery. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) guided venography, serving as the tertiary diagnostic option for venous disorders, offers valuable informations to clinical practitioners.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 195 patients with suspected venous disease, evaluating 259 limbs with venography imaging.
