Objective: The aim: To investigate the level of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and to establish its relationship with structural and functional indicators of the myocardium in patients having acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which is complicated by heart failure (HF) with concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2).
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study included 120 patients who were grouped by clinical diagnosis. Every patient underwent transthoracic echocardiography of the heart: left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular myocardial mass index (LVMI), LV relative wall thickness (LVWT), BNP, HbA1c.
Results: Results: LV EF was statistically significantly lower in group 2 compared with group 1. A significant difference was found. Significant difference between LVWT within indicators of groups 1 and 2 was found. There was a statistically significant increase of the LVMI in group 2 compared to group 1. Against the background of AMI, the formation of eccentric LVH prevailed in 61% cases. There was a statistically significant increase in BNP within the group of patients suffering of AMI with HF and concomitant DM2.
Conclusion: Conclusions: There was found a statistically significant increase in BNP in patients suffering of AMI with HF and concomitant DM2, which indicates a significant degree of damage to cardiomyocytes and causes an aggravating course of HF. The relationship between BNP and LV EF was revealed , which can be used to prognostic the severity of HF in this category of patients. A strong correlation between BNP and HbA1 was discovered, which indicates a burdensome unity of metabolic disorders that accelerate the development and progression of HF.

Background: Hereditary predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) is a pathological condition with increased cancer risk, including breast (BC), ovarian cancer (OC), and others. HBOC pathogenesis is caused mainly by germline pathogenic variants (GPV) in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. However, other relevant genes are related to this syndrome diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, including TP53, PALB2, CHEK2, ATM, etc.

Background: Fluoropyrimidines, including 5-fluorouracil and capecitabine, are the most common chemotherapeutic agents for colorectal carcinoma. Although previous studies have suggested varying degrees of cardiotoxicity with these drugs, there is a notable lack of large-scale investigations with appropriate control groups. This study aimed to evaluate cardiovascular outcome among colorectal carcinoma patients treated with fluoropyrimidines.

Background: Despite the adverse health outcomes associated with longer duration diarrhea (LDD), there are currently no clinical decision tools for timely identification and better management of children with increased risk. This study utilizes machine learning (ML) to derive and validate a predictive model for LDD among children presenting with diarrhea to health facilities.
Methods: LDD was defined as a diarrhea episode lasting ≥ 7 days.

Background: This article aims to use high-throughput sequencing to identify miRNAs associated with ferroptosis in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, select a target miRNA, and investigate its role in H9C2 cells hypoxia-reoxygenation injury.
Methods: SD rats and H9C2 cells were used as subjects. ELISA kits quantified MDA, SOD, GSH, LDH, and ferritin levels.
Socioeconomic and behavioural factors that contribute to the co-occurrence of risk factors for noncommunicable diseases.
BMC Public Health

University of Namibia, Windhoek, Namibia.
It is observed that the global burden of diseases had shifted from infectious diseases to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), with an accumulative trend in developing countries. NCDs share key modifiable behavioral risk factors like unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity that are typically established during adolescence or young adulthood and will set the stage for NCDs development later in life. Therefore, this paper aimed to explore factors contributing to the co-occurrence of risk factors for NCDs among persons aged 30 years and above in selected urban areas of Namibia.
