Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how normal TSH levels impact survival rates in patients who experienced acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
  • Researchers enrolled 1240 patients and found that those with higher TSH levels had an increased risk of death, particularly after adjusting for other factors.
  • The findings suggest that TSH levels can enhance the predictive accuracy of mortality risk when combined with existing scoring systems, particularly for high-risk patients following AMI.

The management strategies of thoracolumbar (TL) burst fractures include posterior, anterior, and combined approaches. However, the rigid constructs pose a risk of proximal junctional failure. In this study, we aim to systemically evaluate the biomechanical performance of different TL reconstruction constructs using finite element analysis.

To evaluate the effect of thrombus aspiration (TA) strategy on the outcomes and its interaction with D-dimer levels in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in "real-world" settings. This study included 1,295 patients with STEMI who had undergone primary PCI with or without TA between January 2013 and June 2017. Patients were first divided into a TA+PCI group and a PCI-only group, and the baseline characteristics and long-term mortality between the two groups were analyzed.
