Background And Aim: Recent studies have linked trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) to cardiovascular diseases; our study aimed to analyze the association between coronary artery disease (CAD), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and TMAO.
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science were searched using terms such as 'CAD' and 'TMAO'. Only observational controlled studies were included.
Background: Herpes Zoster, commonly known as shingles, is a viral infection that affects a significant portion of the adult population; however, its potential role in the onset or progression of neurodegenerative disorders like dementia remains unclear.
Methods: We searched the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane library, and Web of Science. We included any randomized control trials and controlled observational studies as Cross-sectional, prospective, or retrospective cohort and case-control studies that investigated the prevalence of dementia in Herpes Zoster Virus (HZV)-infected patients and HZV-free control group or if the study investigated the prevalence of HZV in demented patients.
Aim: The authors aimed to perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the association between herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection and the risk of developing dementia.
Methods: The authors searched the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. The authors included any randomized control trials and controlled observational studies that investigated the prevalence of dementia in HSV-infected patients and HSV-free control group.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to clarify the conflicting evidence regarding the relationship between aortic dissection (AD) and lipoprotein (a) (LP(a)), suggesting that higher levels of LP(a) may be linked to AD.
- The authors conducted a meta-analysis by reviewing multiple databases and including four studies with a total of 678 patients to assess LP(a) levels in AD patients compared to healthy controls.
- The results showed a significant association where AD patients had higher LP(a) levels and lower levels of triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and total cholesterol (TC), indicating potential implications for future treatments targeting LP(a) in preventing AD.
We aimed to perform a meta-analysis to investigate the value of Cyclophilin C as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in Coronary Artery Disease. PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane library databases were searched. The inclusion criteria were any randomized control trials or controlled observational studies that measured the levels of Cyclophilin C in Coronary Artery disease patients and healthy controls.

Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched using terms; such as "Insomnia" and "MI.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of vamorolone versus placebo and corticosteroids in treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
- It analyzed data from four studies involving 277 patients, showing vamorolone significantly improved various movement metrics compared to placebo and had advantages over glucocorticoids in specific areas.
- The research concluded that vamorolone offers potential benefits in enhancing mobility and growth in DMD patients, highlighting the need for further multicenter trials.
The efficacy of anteriolateral versus anterior-posterior electrode positions in the success of atrial fibrillation's (AF) electrical cardioversion is unclear. Our aim is to perform a meta-analysis to compare the success rate of both electrode positions. PUBMED, WOS, OVID, and SCOPUS were searched.

Methods: We searched the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane library, and Web of Science. We included only randomized control trials that reported the use of early intravenous Metoprolol in STEMI before PCI on infarct size, as measured by CMR and left ventricular ejection fraction.
Background And Aim: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in full-coded patients requires effective chest compressions with minimal interruptions to maintain adequate perfusion to the brain and other vital organs. Many novel approaches have been proposed to attain better organ perfusion compared to traditional CPR techniques. The purpose of this review is to investigate the safety and efficacy of heads-up CPR versus supine CPR.
