Background: Post-stroke stress can trigger instant survival but its influence on long-term ischemic stroke outcomes remains controversial. Thus, we sought to explore the associations of acute post-stroke stress evidenced by endocrine and metabolic changes, with long-term ischemic stroke outcomes.
Methods: Admissions for acute ischemic stroke within seven days of onset were prospectively recruited to determine acute endocrine and metabolic variations measured by thyroid parameters and the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR).
Aims: Increasing numbers of reports link vitamin D deficiency to diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), yet evidence regarding neurological deficits and electromyogram is scarce. The present multi-centre study sought to investigate these associations based on objective quantifications.
Materials And Methods: Information on DPN-related symptoms, signs, all diabetic microvascular complications, and nerve conduction abilities (quantified by nerve conduction amplitude and velocity, F-wave minimum latency (FML) of peripheral nerves) were collected from a derivation cohort of 1192 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Polysaccharides have a variety of biological activities, and in the anti-tumor field, they produce tumor suppressive effects by regulating the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). In immunotherapy, it has significant activities in modulating cytokines and antibody production. We reviewed them and selected CD24, an immune target, for meta-analysis with colorectal cancer (CRC) to investigate the correlation between CD24 expression and CRC.
