Background: Hemorrhagic stroke (HS) is associated with high risk of mortality or disability. To date, up to 25% of HSs are associated with anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents. Early hemostatic therapy and correction of effect of antithrombotic drugs in patients with HS significantly reduce the risk of adverse outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Breast cancer has become the most common cancer worldwide, with metastatic cancer being the leading cause of death related to this disease, prompting the development of early detection methods using non-invasive biomarkers.
  • Exosomes, which are tiny vesicles released by cancer cells, play a crucial role in transmitting signals and contain noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) like miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs that influence various aspects of breast cancer progression, including growth, metastasis, and immune responses.
  • The study examines the regulatory mechanisms of exosomes in breast cancer and aims to enhance understanding of the functions of exosomal ncRNAs to identify potential biomarkers and improve treatment strategies.

Purpose: This study compares the effectiveness of various approaches to improvement of ocular surface condition in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with dry eye syndrome (DES) and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Material And Methods: The study included 48 patients with stage II POAG, compensated with a fixed-combinations of dorzolamide and timolol (FC-DT) containing benzalkonium chloride (BAC), in the presence of DES and MGD. After randomization, patients in group 1 (=24) received FC-DT without BAC along with eyelid hygiene ("Blepharogel cleansing", "Blepharolotion", "Blepharogel-1"), while patients in group 2 received only FC-DT without BAC.

Aims: We assessed diagnostic and arthroscopic surgery challenges the ruptured Baker's cysts (RBC) cases may present compared to intact Baker's cyst cases (IBC). The main question to explore was: Is RBC arthroscopic surgery more complex than IBS surgery? The null hypothesis was that RBC cases might present additional, and specific challenges for a surgeon and the arthroscopic procedure may be more complicated.

Methods: The prospective cohort study analyzed 100 operated patients (43 % female; mean age 61 ± 9.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the performance of ultrathin drug-eluting stents (DES) versus thin-strut DES and drug-eluting balloons (DEB) in treating in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients.
  • Results show that ultrathin DES significantly lowers the risk of adverse events, including cardiac death and need for revascularization, when compared to both thin-strut DES and DEBs after three years of follow-up.
  • Additionally, in patients with diffuse ISR, ultrathin DES outperformed thin-strut DES in reducing risks of target lesion revascularization (TLR) and target vessel revascularization (TVR).

Since suppressor/enhancer of Lin-12-like (SEL1L) was cloned in 1997, various pieces of evidence from lower species suggest it plays a significant role in protein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The relevance of SEL1L in many aspects of malignant transformation and tumorigenic events has been the subject of research, which has shown compelling in vitro and in vivo findings relating its altered expression to changes in tumor aggressiveness. The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) in tumor cells is crucial for preserving cellular proteostasis by inducing the unfolded protein response (UPR), a stress response.

Objective: In narrow anterior urethral strictures, the combined buccal mucosa graft (BMG) with pedicled penile skin flap (PSF) represents a well-known effective alternative to staged urethroplasty. We hypothesized that if the native urethral plate and adjacent corpus spongiosum were preserved, a narrower flap would be needed, and reinforced ventral stability could be achieved without compromising the surgical outcome.

Methods: Twelve patients with narrow penile urethral strictures underwent single-stage augmentation urethroplasty using a combined technique.

We characterized the performance, as well as the safety, of a second-generation thin-strut sirolimus-eluting stent with a biodegradable polymer, Alex Plus (Balton, Poland), implanted in patients with type 2 diabetes (DM) with a 4-year follow-up. We defined the primary endpoint as the 48-month rate of major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE), including cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), or target lesion revascularization (TLR). The secondary endpoints were all-cause death, cardiac death, MI, and TLR rates at 12, 24, 36, and 48 months.

Complex comminuted hand injuries are an urgent medical and social problem of national health systems, which is especially sensitive for countries with a low level of socio-economic development. The work aims to substantiate the effectiveness and safety of the shoelace method of hand bone osteosynthesis in complex comminuted fractures (a clinical case study). Clinical case: A 42-year-old female patient was admitted to the clinic with complaints of the presence of a crushed wound on the 2nd finger of the left hand.

Some physical phenomena and various chemical substances newly introduced in nanotechnology have allowed scientists to develop valuable devices in the field of food sciences. Regarding such progress, the identification of foodborne pathogenic microorganisms is an imperative subject nowadays. These bacterial species have been found to cause severe health impacts after food ingestion and can result in high mortality in acute cases.

This multicenter, randomized study aimed to compare the sirolimus-eluting BiOSS LIM C dedicated coronary bifurcation stent with second-generation -limus drug-eluting stents (rDESs) in the treatment of non-left main (non-LM) coronary bifurcation. The deployment of a single stent in the main vessel-main branch across a side branch was the default strategy in all patients. The primary endpoint was the rate of major cardiovascular events (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization) at 48 months.

Background: Notwithstanding readily available revascularization, significant advancements in mechanical circulatory support, and pharmacological progress, cardiogenic shock (CS) secondary to unprotected left main culprit lesion-related acute myocardial infarction (ULMCL-related AMI) is associated with very high mortality. In this population, chronic total occlusion (CTO) is relatively frequent.

Aims: This study sought to assess the association between the presence of CTO and 12-month mortality in patients with CS due to ULMCL-related AMI.

The knowledge about the features of energy metabolism in MAFLD in the population living at different climatic and geographic heights is lacking. The goal of this study is to explore the biochemical parameters of blood and erythrocyte energy consumption in patients with MAFLD with and without DM2 living in the low- and moderate-altitude regions of Central Asia. Our study was carried out on patients living in low-altitude mountains: Bishkek, altitude=750-800 m; n=67 (MAFLD with DM 2: n=24; MAFLD without DM2: n=25; control: n=18), and At-Bashy District, Naryn Region, altitude=2046-2300 m; n=58 (MAFLD with DM2: n=28; MAFLD without DM2: n=18; control: n=12).

The concepts of fragility and resilience are often used together to describe elderly people with reduced physical activity. While fragility, which develops with the aging of the body, is a biological syndrome of a decrease in the stressors response resulting from cumulative regression in many physiological systems, and age related a comprehensive assessment of the ability resistance to stress. In this regard, it is important to develop systems and scales for the identification groups of risk among the elderly.
