Objective: To study microcirculation in patients with acute ischemic stroke (IS) using the method of laser Doppler fluorimetry (LDF).
Material And Methods: We examined 19 patients with acute carotid IS, including 12 patients who received thrombolytic therapy. The reference group included 22 patients with chronic cerebral ischemia without a history of IS. Computed and magnetic resonance tomography of the brain, ultrasound diagnosis of head and neck vessels, the study of the changes in neurological status, emotional sphere, cognitive functions and laboratory methods were used.
Results: An index of total blood flow in the microcirculatory bed on the side of stroke was lower compared to that in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia. The study of parameters of microcirculatory bed regulation revealed an increase of blood inflow into the microcirculatory bed with the augmentation of the myogenic activity of arterioles and primarily the nutritional regimen of microhemocirculation. A decrease in the myogenic activity in the microcirculation system and nutritional direction of microhemodynamics were noted in patients with large IS. In some cases, non-nutritional regimen and/or venule congestion were observed.
Conclusion: The study of the microcirculation system with the LDF method can be used as the method of early diagnosis of unfavorable variants of cerebral microcirculation that is necessary for outcome prognosis and its correction.

Background: Sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are common inflammatory conditions in intensive care, with ARDS significantly increasing mortality in septic patients. PANoptosis, a newly discovered form of programmed cell death involving multiple cell death pathways, plays a critical role in inflammatory diseases. This study aims to elucidate the PANoptosis-related genes (PRGs) and their involvement in the progression of sepsis to ARDS.

This first-in-man (FIM) study evaluated the feasibility and safety of a new peripheral plaque atherectomy system in patients with symptomatic lower extremity artery disease (LEAD). Ten patients with symptomatic LEAD (Rutherford class 2-5) were enrolled in a prospective, single-center study from March to April 2024. Patients aged 18-85 years with target lesions showing ≥70% stenosis and reference vessel diameters ≥1.

Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium.
Background: Radiotherapy (RT) in head and neck cancer (HNC) can cause multiple side effects such as nausea, pain, taste loss, fatigue, oral mucositis, xerostomia, and acute radiation-associated dysphagia (RAD). These factors threaten patients' oral intake (OI) during this RT. Reduced OI can cause weight loss, dehydration, malnutrition, and various comorbidities.

Background: Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) is frequent in patients with chronic kidney disease who are submitted to cardiac endovascular procedures using iodinated contrast. In hemoadsorption, cartridges containing styrene-divinylbenzene sorbent resin are applied to remove substances from the blood through an extracorporeal circuit. Importantly, iodinated contrast is also removed via adsorption.
