AI Article Synopsis
- Higher C-reactive protein levels were found in patients with atrial fibrillation who had identified thromboembolic risk factors compared to those without.
- There is a correlation between C-reactive protein levels and clinical stroke risk factors in these patients.
- Increased C-reactive protein levels are independently linked to thromboembolic risk factors identified through transesophageal echocardiography.
Article Abstract
The relation between C-reactive protein, an inflammatory marker, and thromboembolic risk factors was investigated in 104 patients with atrial fibrillation and found that patients with transesophageal echocardiography identified thromboembolic risk factors had greater C-reactive protein levels than those without (1.00 vs 0.302 mg/dl). C-reactive protein also correlated with clinical stroke risk factors. Increased C-reactive protein levels were also independently associated with transesophageal echocardiographic thromboembolic risk factors.

Aim: Hypothyroidism is created by disruption of thyroid hormone production, which can destroy the emotional, relational, social, and working life of patients if left untreated. Hypothyroidism has multiple etiologies. We evaluated the relationship of hematological parameters and inflammatory biomarkers with thyroid hormones to find the potential use of these items in patients screening and prognosis.

Renorrhaphy is often performed after tumor resection during robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN). This study aimed to investigate the association between renorrhaphy performance and inflammatory markers. A retrospective cohort study was conducted including patients with renal cell carcinoma who underwent RAPN at eight institutions in Japan between April 2016 and November 2023.
