Objective: To compare the levels of ischaemia modified albumin between osteomyelitis patients and healthy controls.
Methods: The cross-sectional prospective study was conducted at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, Van, Turkey, from May 2018 to May 2019, and comprised inpatients diagnosed with osteomyelitis, and healthy controls. Serum IMA concentrations were determined spectrophotometrically at 470nm wavelength. Serum ischaemia modified albumin levels were measured and compared between the patients and the controls. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.
Results: Of the 77 subjects, 37(48%) were patients and 40(52%) were controls. Serum ischaemia modified albumin level in patients was significantly higher than controls (p<0.05). There was a significant correlation between ischaemia modified albumin and C-reactive protein levels (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Serum ischaemia modified albumin level in patients was significantly higher than controls (p<0.05).

The emerging combination of chemotherapy and radionuclide therapy has been actively investigated to overcome the limitations of monotherapy and augment therapeutic efficacy. However, it remains a challenge to design a single delivery vehicle that can incorporate chemotherapeutics and radionuclides into a compact structure. Here, a chelator DOTA- or NOTA-modified Evans blue conjugated camptothecin molecule (EB-CPT) nanoprodrug was synthesized, which could self-assemble into nanoparticles due to its inherent amphiphilicity.

Importance: There is a lack of long-term efficacy and safety data on hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (hATTR-PN) and on RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics in general. This study presents the longest-term data to date on patisiran for hATTR-PN.
Objective: To present the long-term efficacy and safety of patisiran in adults with hATTR-PN.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of C-reactive protein to albumin (CRP/Alb) ratio in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with transcatheter intra-arterial therapy combined with molecular targeted agents (MTAs) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors.
Methods: Medical records of 271 consecutive patients with HCC receiving this combination therapy in China between 2019 and 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses.

Background: The urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) or urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) has been reported as predictors of cardiovascular and renal events. We aimed to evaluate the impact of changes in proteinuria severity on the prognosis of hypertensive patients post-esaxerenone initiation.
Methods And Results: Hypertensive patients who commenced esaxerenone (n=164) were classified into 3 groups according to baseline UACR or UPCR, based on the modified proteinuria severity classification: A1 (normal; n=35); A2 (microalbuminuria/mild proteinuria; n=49); and A3 (macroalbuminuria/severe proteinuria; n=80).

Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a prevalent and challenging neurological condition associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with ginkgo diterpene lactone meglumine injection (GDLMI) on cognitive and neurological function recovery in patients with AIS.
Methods: A total of 120 patients with AIS, admitted between January 2021 and January 2022, received rTMS combined with GDLMI after admission.
