The authors present immediate and long term results of the first in Russia implantation in coronary artery of Palmaz-Shatz metal stent. Indications for stenting were urgent after complicated dissection as a result of balloon dilation of discrete bifurcational stenosis of anterior interventricular artery (IVA). Immediate angiographic and clinical result was good. At control angiography after 13 years their was no restenosis in stented IVA. However novel narrowing was found in left main coronary artery (LMCA) in which drug eluting stent was implanted. Coronary angiography carried out after 7.5 years after stenting of LMCA and in 20 years after stent implantation in IVA revealed good patency of both stented segments without signs of restenosis. This case report demonstrates possibility of long term preservation of angiographic and clinical effect of staged endovascular treatment of coronary atherosclerosis.

Access to trained lymphedema care providers remains limited making patient-driven management solutions essential. One such option, sequential intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC), has gained traction as a supportive tool for lymphedema management. While newer IPC devices and innovative applications are being introduced to the market, questions regarding the safety and efficacy of this technology persist.

Entangled Illnesses: Embodied Experiences of Managing Multimorbidity.

Sociol Health Illn

February 2025

Tampere Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Tampere University, Tampere, Finland.

Multimorbidity, meaning multiple long-term conditions impacting a person's health, has become a rising societal and public health issue. The article contributes to the sociological study of chronic illness and multimorbidity by analysing how the blurriness of illnesses and entanglement of symptoms in multimorbidity is experienced and negotiated by people with coexisting chronic conditions. Drawing on qualitative interviews with people who live with endometriosis, fibromyalgia or hormonal migraine in Finland, we show how people with multiple chronic conditions distinguish between evolving symptoms based on past embodied experiences to make decisions about how to best manage their health.

Objective: Addressing the rising cancer rates through timely diagnosis and treatment is crucial. Additionally, cancer survivors need to understand the potential risk of developing secondary cancer (SC), which can be influenced by several factors including treatment modalities, lifestyle choices, and habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption. This study aims to establish a novel relationship using linear regression models between dose and the risk of SC, comparing different prediction methods for lung, colon, and breast cancer.

Interleukin-17A and Interleukin-17F Gene Polymorphisms in Egyptian Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C and Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Asian Pac J Cancer Prev

January 2025

Department of Biochemistry, Biotechnology Research Institute, High Throughput Molecular and Genetic laboratory, Center for Excellences for Advanced Sciences, National Research Centre, Dokki, Giza, Egypt.

Objective: Interleukin IL-17A and IL-17F are critical cytokines involved in inflammatory processes. Genetic variations in IL-17A and IL-17F might be linked to chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a cancer associated with long-term inflammation. This study aims to examine the relationship between specific polymorphisms in IL-17A (rs2275913) and IL-17F (rs763780) and their association with HCV-related HCC in an Egyptian population.
