Background: Malnutrition, inflammation, and atherosclerosis (MIA) syndrome is associated with a high mortality rate in patients with end-stage renal disease. However, the clinical relevance of MIA syndrome in kidney transplantation (KT) recipients remains unknown.
Methods: We enrolled 1348 adult KT recipients. Recipients were assessed based on serum albumin, cholesterol, or body mass index for the malnutrition factor and C-reactive protein level for the inflammation factor. Any history of cardiovascular (CV), cerebrovascular, or peripheral vascular disease satisfied the atherosclerosis factor. Each MIA factors were assessed by univariate analysis and we calculated an overall risk score by summing up scores for each independent variable. The enrolled patients were divided into 4 groups depending on the MIA score (0, 2-4, 6, 8-10).
Results: The patients with higher MIA score showed worse outcome of fatal/non-fatal acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (p < 0.001) and composite outcomes of ACS and all-cause mortality (p < 0.001) than with the lower MIA score. In multivariate analysis, ACS showed significantly higher incidence in the MIA score 8-10 group than in the MIA score 0 group (Hazard ratio 6.12 95 % Confidence interval 1.84-20.32 p = 0.003).
Conclusions: The presence of MIA factors before KT is an independent predictor of post-transplant CV outcomes.

Lung function and onset of cardiometabolic diseases in the longitudinal Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease study.
BMJ Open Respir Res
January 2025
National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, London, UK.
Introduction: Previous population-based studies, mainly from high-income countries, have shown that a higher forced vital capacity (FVC) is associated with a lower risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the longitudinal association between spirometry measures and the onset of cardiometabolic diseases across sites in low-income, middle-income and high-income countries.
Methods: The study population comprised 5916 individuals from 15 countries participating in the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease baseline and follow-up assessments.
Analysis of Inflammatory Features in Suspicious Lesions for Significant Prostate Cancer on Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Are They Mimickers of Prostate Cancer?
Cancers (Basel)

Department of Urology, Vall d'Hebron Hospital Campus, 08035 Barcelona, Spain.
Background: Inflammatory features can mimic PCa in suspicious MRI-lesions.
Objectives: To assess the incidence of inflammatory features in targeted biopsies to suspicious lesions.
Methods: A prospective analysis was conducted of 531 MRI-suspicious lesions with Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) scores of 3 to 5 in 364 men suspected of having PCa.
Gait-Based AI Models for Detecting Sarcopenia and Cognitive Decline Using Sensor Fusion.
Diagnostics (Basel)
December 2024
Podoactiva Research & Development Department, Biomechanical Unit, Parque Tecnológico Walqa, Ctra. N330a Km 566, 22197 Cuarte, Spain.
: Sarcopenia and cognitive decline (CD) are prevalent in aging populations, impacting functionality and quality of life. The early detection of these diseases is challenging, often relying on in-person screening, which is difficult to implement regularly. This study aims to develop artificial intelligence algorithms based on gait analysis, integrating sensor and computer vision (CV) data, to detect sarcopenia and CD.

Objectives: Histological osteochondral characteristics of inflammation, fibrosis, vascularity, cartilage islands, vessels entering cartilage, thickened trabeculae and cysts are associated with bone marrow lesions (BMLs) in human knee osteoarthritis (OA). We identified and developed a method for scoring comparable pathology in two rat OA knee pain models.
Methods: Rats (n = 8-10 per group) were injected with monoiodoacetate (MIA) or saline, or underwent meniscal transection (MNX) or sham surgery.
Endovascular Treatment of Mycotic Intracranial Aneurysms: A Series of Three Cases with Institutional Treatment Algorithm.

Department of Neuroimaging & Interventional Neuroradiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Mycotic intracranial aneurysms (MIAs) are rare but can cause significant morbidity and mortality due to rupture. Most patients have additional systemic medical comorbidities making endovascular treatment a vital modality in the treatment of these aneurysms. We aimed to share our institutional experience with the role of endovascular therapy in the treatment of mycotic aneurysms with a literature review.
