Background: Diabetic papillopathy and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy are different clinical entities with different prognoses. We describe a case of diabetic papillopathy that developed into bilateral nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION).
Case: A 58-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus had bilateral disc elevation. Goldmann perimetry showed altitudinal hemianopsia in the left eye. The early phase of fluorescein angiography showed hypoperfusion in the superior segment of the left optic disc indicating AION in the left eye.
Observations: During the follow-up period, the visual field of the left eye was further constricted and that of the right eye also developed signs of AION, suggesting that bilateral anterior ischemic optic neuropathy had developed. After steroid pulse therapy, her vision recovered slightly, but the visual field remained constricted in both eyes. The optic discs had a low cup/disc ratio.
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that diabetic papillopathy can precede the development of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Triglyceride glucose index (Tyg), a convenient evaluation variable for insulin resistance, has shown associations with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies on the Tyg index's predictive value for adverse prognosis in patients with AF without diabetes are lacking.

Background And Purpose: We explored the impact of various craniotomy approaches on the outcomes and long-term cognitive function of microsurgical clipping for superiorly projecting anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 127 superiorly projected ACoA aneurysms underwent microsurgical clipping between January 2014 and January 2022. Patients were categorized into two types: type 1 (70 patients), characterized by the posterior positioning of the ipsilateral A2 segment (open A2 plane side), and type 2 (57 patients), characterized by the anterior positioning of the ipsilateral A2 segment (closed A2 plane side).

Acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion (LVO) continues to present a considerable challenge to global health, marked by substantial morbidity and mortality rates. Although definitive diagnostic markers exist in the form of neuroimaging, their expense, limited availability, and potential for diagnostic delay can often result in missed opportunities for life-saving interventions. Despite several past attempts, research efforts to date have been fraught with challenges likely due to multiple factors, such as the inclusion of diverse stroke types, variable onset intervals, differing pathobiologies, and a range of infarct sizes, all contributing to inconsistent circulating biomarker levels.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A1 (eIF4A1) is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that participates in a variety of biological and pathological processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis, and cancer. In this study we investigated the role of eIF4A1 in ischemic heart disease. The myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) model was established in mice by ligation of the left anterior descending artery for 45 min with the subsequent reperfusion for 24 h; cultured neonatal mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes (NMVCs) treated with HO (200 μM) or H/R (12 h hypoxia and 12 h reoxygenation) were used for in vitro study.
