Predictive value of system immune-inflammation index for the severity of coronary stenosis in patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus.
Sci Rep

Department of Endocrinology, The First Clinical Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, 100853, China.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) has been recognized as a chronic progressive inflammatory disorder, and Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for the pathogenesis of CHD. Recent research has underscored the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as a potent prognostic indicator for individuals suffering from acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aimed to delve into the relationship between SII and the degree of coronary atherosclerotic stenosis in non-acute myocardial infarction patients with or without DM.

Department of Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, No. 1 Youyi Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing 400016, China (P.-l.Z., T.-y.L., F.-j.L., Q.L.). Electronic address:
Rationale And Objectives: To explore the clinical and computed tomography (CT) characteristics of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) that presents with an irregular shape.
Materials And Methods: The CT data of 575 patients with stage IA LADC and 295 with persistent inflammatory lesion (PIL) manifesting as subsolid nodules (SSNs) were analyzed retrospectively. Among these patients, we selected 233 patients with LADC and 140 patients with PIL, who showed irregular SSNs, hereinafter referred to as irregular LADC (I-LADC) and irregular PIL (I-PIL), respectively.
Lung transplantation for diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous malformations associated with juvenile polyposis-hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia overlap syndrome: a case report.
Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Cases
December 2024
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, 606-8507, Japan.
Background: Lung transplantation is a viable lifesaving option for patients with diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). We present a case of diffuse pulmonary AVMs associated with juvenile polyposis and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (JP-HHT) that was successfully managed by lung transplantation.
Case Presentation: A 19-year-old woman developed severe hypoxemia due to pulmonary AVMs diagnosed at 4 years of age.
MRgFUS disconnection surgery for hypothalamic hamartoma-related epilepsy: case report and literature review.
Neurol Sci
December 2024
Neurology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Integrata, Verona, Italy.
Background: Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) secondary to hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) often requires surgical resection or stereotactic radiosurgery, which frequently fail to provide satisfactory outcomes and are associated with severe side effects. Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) may represent a minimally invasive surgical approach to HH by offering precise thermal ablation of sub-millimetric brain targets while sparing surrounding structures.
Methods: We present the case of a 19-year-old man with HH-associated DRE, who was successfully treated with MRgFUS.
Myocardial Contractile Reserve Impairment in Patients with Kawasaki Disease During Convalescent Phase: A Study Based on Two-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Stress Echocardiography.

The Department of Ultrasound, Tianyou Hospital of Shanghai, No 528, Zhennan Road, Putuo District, Shanghai, 200331, China.
Persistent myocardial impairment proved by histopathologic studies universally existed in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD); however, the long-term effects on myocardial contractile reserve in KD patients, especially on patients without coronary artery lesions (CALs), is still unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate myocardial contractile reserve in KD patients during late convalescent stage by speckle-tracking adenosine triphosphate (AT) echocardiography. A total of 63 antecedent KD patients at least 4 years after the disease onset and 40 age- and gender-matched normal controls were prospectively enrolled.
