Background: Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). This study aimed to develop a prediction model based on the TIMI risk score for MACE in STEMI patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective data analysis on 290 acute STEMI patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from January 2022 to June 2023 and met the inclusion criteria.

Background: Gravid females with pelvic fractures are rarely encountered by the orthopaedic trauma surgeon. The initial injury can be detrimental to the pregnant patient, but an unnecessary "second hit" from surgery could also contribute to the outcome of the fetus. Understanding the surgical risks for this unique patient population requires knowledge about the negative effects of anesthesia, surgical exposures, and radiation.

Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have shown benefits in improving cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) and may mitigate symptom progression in myocardial infarction (MI). However, their effectiveness in patients with type 2 diabetes and MI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unclear.
Methods: To identify eligible studies, a comprehensive search of electronic databases, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Embase, was conducted from inception until May 2024.

Background: Ceramide, a key molecule in sphingolipid metabolism, is recognized as a standalone predictor of long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE). We explore if integrating the global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) score with the ceramide risk score (ceramide test 1, CERT1) improves MACE prediction in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: This cohort study included 210 participants with ACS undergoing PCI.

A supernumerary kidney is a rare birth defect where an extra kidney is present. This extra kidney has its own separate outer covering, blood supply, and collection system. Normally, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the treatment of choice for large kidney stones, but its ideal use for supernumerary kidneys is unknown.
