Background: Cellular histones are DNA-binding nuclear proteins involved in chromatin remodelling and regulation of gene expression. However, extracellular histones act as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and contribute to multiorgan damage in conditions with sepsis and diseases with acute critical illnesses. Alongside, histones are associated with thrombocytopenia due to dysfunctional platelets that regulate hemostasis and thrombosis.

The rapid development and deployment of mRNA and non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have played a pivotal role in mitigating the global pandemic. Despite their success in reducing severe disease outcomes, emerging concerns about cardiovascular complications have raised questions regarding their safety. This systematic review critically evaluates the evidence on the cardiovascular effects of COVID-19 vaccines, assessing both their protective and adverse impacts, while considering the challenges posed by the limited availability of randomized controlled trial (RCT) data on these rare adverse events.

Background Thorough and standardized documentation of operative notes is essential for effective communication, patient safety, legal protection, and the continuity of care. However, in many hospitals in Sudan, surgeons often use non-standardized methods, resulting in inconsistent and incomplete records. This study evaluates the quality of operative notes at the Port Sudan Teaching Hospital using the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCSEng) guidelines, aiming to improve compliance and documentation practices.

The objective was to study the risk factors of venous thrombosis after ankle fracture with type 2 diabetes mellitus surgery using a tourniquet and to assess the effect of ischemic preconditioning and metformin combination therapy in preventing thrombosis. One hundred eighty patients with ankle fractures combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with lower extremity tourniquet surgery between January 2020 and December 2023 were analyzed. Based on postoperative color Doppler ultrasound of both lower extremities, the patients were divided into thrombus-positive and negative groups.
