The incidence of diabetes increased significantly around the world in accordance with lifestyle and change in eating behaviour. (STZ-NA) is capable of inducing Diabetes Mellitus type 2 in experimental animals for insulin resistance. In this research, we inspect the therapeutic potential of ethanol extract (EEEE) on diabetes associated with diabetic nephropathy and hypertension complications in mice models. Diabetes and hypertension are induced in mice using STZ 45 mg/kgBB and NA 110 mg/kgBB, followed by unilateral ureter ligation (UUO) for 4 weeks after a week of STZ-NA induction. The EEEE solution was given in the last 4 weeks with doses of 200, 400, 600, and 800 mg/kgBB. The results of this study prove the effect of vanillic acid on improving systolic blood pressure, plasma creatinine, plasma glucose, albuminuria and reducing the inflammatory marker high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Histopathology of kidney is under investigation for being part of diabetes hypertension pathology. Treatment using EEEE 600 and 800 mg/kgBB for 4 weeks in experimental mice results in the decrease of plasma glucose, systolic blood pressure, plasma creatinine, albuminuria, and hs-CRP, including the restoration of kidney histology significantly compared to 200 and 400 mg/kgBB doses. This result concludes that EEEE offers modulation effects on diabetes hypertension control by reducing blood glucose rate, blood pressure rate, kidney defect, and inflammation markers.

Background: The use of the Ostial Flash balloon (Ostial Corporation) has received limited study in aorto-ostial chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary artery intervention (PCI).
Methods: The authors evaluated the outcomes of Ostial Flash balloon use in a large CTO-PCI registry (PROGRESS-CTO, NCT02061436).
Results: The Ostial Flash balloon was used in 54 of 907 aorto-ostial CTO PCIs in 905 patients (6.

The diagnostic criteria for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) and Metabolic Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) aim to refine the classification of fatty liver diseases previously grouped under Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). This study evaluates the applicability of the MAFLD and MASLD frameworks in NAFLD patients, exploring their clinical utility in identifying high-risk patients. A total of 369 NAFLD patients were assessed using MAFLD and MASLD diagnostic criteria.

Background: To evaluate the impact of Hispanic ethnic enclaves (EE) on the relationship between neighborhood disadvantage and overall survival (OS) in breast cancer (BCa) patients.
Methods: Data from BCa patients with stage I-IV disease diagnosed between 2005-2017 was used to analyze the effects of Area Deprivation Index (ADI) scores, a measure of neighborhood disadvantage, and census-tract level Hispanic density, a measure of EE, on OS using mixed-effects Cox regression models. The final model included the following individual-level factors (age, income, race, Hispanic/Latino origin, nativity, insurance status, and comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, and body mass index) and clinical factors (National Comprehensive Cancer Network guideline-concordant treatment, stage, and receptor subtype).

The global COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has led to significant morbidity and mortality, with a profound impact on cardiovascular health. This review investigates the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2's interaction with cardiac tissue, particularly emphasizing the role of the Spike protein and ACE2 receptor in facilitating viral entry and subsequent cardiac complications. We dissect the structural features of the virus, its interactions with host cell receptors, and the resulting pathophysiological changes in the heart.

Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with CBD stones and underwent ERCP from December 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects. According to whether postoperative complications occurred, they were divided into complication group (n = 28) and non-complication group (n = 132).
