Background: Serum levels of silent information regulator 6 (SIRT6), a key biomarker of aging, were identified as a predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD), but whether SIRT6 can distinguish severity of coronary artery lesions in older adult patients is unknown.
Objectives: This study developed a nomogram to demonstrate the functionality of SIRT6 in assessing severity of coronary artery atherosclerosis.
Methods: Patients aged 60 years and older with angina pectoris were screened for this single-center clinical study between October 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023.

Objective: To investigate the sonographic effects of alfaxalone and butorphanol alone and in combination on feline splenic size, shape, margins, echogenicity, echotexture, and blood flow. Our hypothesis was that alfaxalone alone and in combination would be associated with an increase in splenic size and blood flow and a nonhomogenous echotexture.
Methods: This was a randomized, prospective crossover study.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography (US) by comparing preoperative ultrasonographic findings with intraoperative observations during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
Materials And Methods: An observational analytical study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Pune over two years and included 98 patients aged 20-80 with symptomatic cholelithiasis confirmed by US. Preoperative parameters assessed included gallstone number, gallbladder volume, wall thickness, and pericholecystic fluid.

Background: Acute ankle sprains are among the most common injuries in children and are often associated with chondral avulsion fractures and ligament injuries. However, radiography may not be sufficiently accurate for assessing cartilage and ligament injuries in children. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the necessity of radiography in the diagnosis of acute ankle sprains in children.
