Lymphocyte-based inflammatory markers: Novel predictors of significant coronary artery disease.
Heart Lung
November 2024
School of Nursing, the University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan; University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Lymphocyte-based inflammatory indices such as monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) have long been recognized as reliable coronary artery disease (CAD) predictors. More recently, novel indices like the Systemic Inflammatory Index (SII), Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI), and Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SIIRI) have emerged. These newer markers offer a more comprehensive assessment of inflammation by integrating multiple immune cell types, potentially enhancing the prediction of cardiovascular outcomes.

Department of Cardiology, Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa Institute of Cardiology, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Background And Aim: High-dose statin therapy before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is thought to reduce the occurrence of Peri-procedural Myocardial Infarction (PPMI), which is associated with increased mortality and prolonged hospitalization, especially in statin naïve patients. This study aims to investigate the effect of rosuvastatin loading dose on PPMI and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients undergoing elective PCI, considering their statin use.
Methods: One hundred sixty-five patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) without heart failure (HF) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) were included in the study.

Department of Radio-diagnosis, Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, K.R Road, Bangalore, Karnataka 560002, India.
Objectives: Patients undergoing medical procedures often experience heightened anxiety, which can affect their experience and overall health. The current study aimed at looking at a quality improvement initiative to compare written and audiovisual information delivery methods to reduce anxiety prior to Computed Tomography (CT).
Methods: In this prospective interventional study, we assessed state and trait anxiety in patients scheduled for their first CT scan.

Computed tomography (CT)-guided lung biopsy is one of the oldest and most widely known minimally invasive percutaneous procedures. Despite being conceptually simple, this procedure needs to be performed rapidly and can be subject to meaningful complications that need to be managed properly. Therefore, knowledge of principles and techniques is required by every general or interventional radiologist who performs the procedure.

A colonoscopy is a procedure commonly used for the diagnosis of colorectal diseases but may be associated with high levels of anxiety and discomfort, which can lead to complications during sedation and decreased patient comfort and cooperation. This study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi to assess the effectiveness of music therapy on pre-procedural anxiety, sedation requirements, pain, and procedure duration among patients undergoing colonoscopies. This comparative study included 110 outpatients.
