The aim of this work was to elucidate the relationship between the serum erythropoietin level, the degree of heart involvement in patients with chronic cardiac failure (CCF), characteristics of peripheral red blood cells and iron metabolism. A total of 77 patients with ischemic CCF were enrolled in the study. The control group comprised 13 subjects free from cardiovascular disorders. The analyses encompassed peripheral blood, serum iron, iron-binding capacity of serum, creatinine clearance, erythropoietin and TNF-alpha levels, echoCG data. The patients with CCF were divided into three groups based on the level of erythropoietin. Statistical analysis revealed the relationship between anemia, structural-functional changes in myocardium and erythropoietin production. Anemia appeared to be an additional stimulus for biosynthesis of erythropoietin in these patients.

Abdominal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure, involving in most cases the use of textile meshes providing a mechanical barrier to consolidate the damaged surrounding tissues and prevent the resurgence of the hernia. However, in more than half cases postoperative complications such as adhesions and infections occur at the surface of the mesh, leading to chronic pain for the patient and requiring the removal of the implant. One of the most promising strategies to reduce the risk of postoperative adhesions and infections is to add a physical barrier between the mesh and the abdominal walls.

Chronic cough is a common clinical condition requiring comprehensive assessment. This review employs a symptom-focused approach, prioritizing the presenting symptom of "chronic cough" to mirror real-world clinical practice. Ten key questions regarding the investigations in the uncertain areas were systematically addressed based on the PICO framework and applying the GRADE system for evidence synthesis to provide the strength of recommendation and quality of evidence for key questions.

The eye is considered to be an immune-privileged region. However, several parts of the eye have distinct mechanisms for delivering immune cells to the injury sites or even in response to aging. Although these immune responses are intended to be protective, the visual acuity can be compromised by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines by immune cells, which induce chronic inflammation and fibrosis.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) burden is currently evolving with regional differences associated with complex behavioural, environmental, and genetic risk factors. The LEGACy study is a Horizon 2020-funded multi-institutional research project conducted prospectively to provide comprehensive data on the tumour biological characteristics of gastroesophageal cancer from European and LATAM countries.
Material And Methods: Treatment-naïve advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma patients were prospectively recruited in seven European and LATAM countries.
