Using Artificial Intelligence in Predicting Ischemic Stroke Events After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Background: Ischemic stroke (IS) is an uncommon but severe complication in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Despite significant morbidity and economic cost associated with post PCI IS, a validated risk prediction model is not currently available.

Aims: We aim to develop a machine learning model that predicts IS after PCI.

The impact of moderate aortic stenosis in acute myocardial infarction: A multicenter retrospective study.

Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is associated with myocardial ischemia through different mechanisms and may impair coronary arterial flow. However, data on the impact of moderate AS in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) is limited.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the impact of moderate AS in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (MI).

Endophytic SR22 Triggers Defense Responses in Tomato against Rhizoctonia Root Rot.

Rhizoctonia root rot is one of the most destructive diseases of tomato and other crops. The biocontrol of plant diseases using endophytic bacteria has gained significant attention due to their distinct advantages compared with the free-living ones, as well as their new unexplored and unique properties. Endophytic SR22 represents a promising and more effective biocontrol and growth-promoting agent for tomato plants than the free-living agents, being an ecofriendly and sustainable tool in modern agriculture.

Effects of Mycorrhizal Colonization on Transcriptional Expression of the Responsive Factor and Stress-Responsive Genes in Banana Plantlets in Response to Combined Biotic and Abiotic Stresses.

Banana plants ( L.) are exposed to various biotic and abiotic stresses that affect their production worldwide. Banana plants respond to these stresses, but their responses to combined stresses are unique and differ from those to various individual stresses.

Clinical significance of SNP (rs2596542) in histocompatibility complex class I-related gene A promoter region among hepatitis C virus related hepatocellular carcinoma cases.

The major histocompatibility complex class I-related gene A (MICA) is an antigen induced by stress and performs an integral role in immune responses as an anti-infectious and antitumor agent. This work was designed to investigate whether (SNP) rs2596542C/T in MICA promoter region is predictive of liver cirrhosis (LC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or not. Forty-seven healthy controls and 94 HCV-infected patients, subdivided into 47 LC and 47 HCC subjects were enrolled in this study.

Flank-free Modified Supine Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in Pediatric Age Group.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of pediatric percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the flank-free modified supine position (FFMSP). PCNL in the supine position is increasingly and successfully used in pediatric age group. Different modifications of supine positions have been described; however, the best supine position is not well established and remains a matter of debate.
