We evaluated the results of 213 emergency operations of acute type A aortic dissection in our center from January 2003 to December 2006. They were 101 male and 112 female, and the mean age was 64.6 years. The hospital mortality rate of all cases was 13.6% (29/213). And that of cases with malperfusion was 31.9% (15/47). They consisted of stroke 8/17 (47.1%), myocardial ischemia 5/27 (18.5%) [right coronary artery: 2/22 (9.1%), left main trunk: 3/5 (60.0%)], and intestinal ischemia 2/3 (66.7%). The hospital mortality rate of pulseless electrical activity (PEA) cases was 57.1% (4/7), and that of aortic rupture cases was 33.3% (3/9). On the other hand, the mortality rate of cases with cardiac tamponade alone was 4/45 (8.9%). That of cases without cardiac tamponade and malperfusion was 3/105 (2.9%), and was significantly (p < 0.05) lower than that with malperfusion.

Cardiac disease refers to diseases that affect the heart such as coronary artery diseases, arrhythmia and heart defects and is amongst the most difficult health conditions known to humanity. According to the WHO, heart disease is the foremost cause of mortality worldwide, causing an estimated 17.8 million deaths every year it consumes a significant amount of time as well as effort to figure out what is causing this, especially for medical specialists and doctors.

Background: Locoregional therapy (LRT) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) before liver transplantation (LT) has a role in improving the tumor biology and post-LT survival outcome apart from downstaging and bridging. We retrospectively analyzed our database of adult living donor liver transplants (LDLT) for HCC, to compare the survival outcomes in Group-1 (upfront-LT, HCC within Milan/UCSF/AFP<1000 ng/ml) and Group-2 (LT post-LRT, HCC beyond UCSF/irrespective of tumor burden with AFP>1000 ng/ml). We also explored the risk factors for recurrence on follow-up.

Purpose: The C-reactive protein (CRP)-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index is a newly developed biomarker that combines measurements of CRP, serum albumin, and lymphocyte count. This index provides a thorough assessment of a patient's inflammation level, nutritional condition, and immunological function. The objective of this study is to examine the correlation between the CALLY index and all-cause mortality in COPD patients.

Chronic liver disease ranks as the 11th leading cause of death worldwide, while hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality, representing a substantial risk to public health. Over the past few decades, the global landscape of chronic liver diseases, including hepatitis, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), liver fibrosis, and HCC, has undergone substantial changes. Copper, a vital trace element for human health, is predominantly regulated by the liver.
