Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common cardiovascular disease resulting in high mortality rate due to rupture. Intraluminal thrombus (ILT) is involved in AAA progression via both biomechanically protective ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a critical intervention in the management of severe cardiac and respiratory failure. Among the commonly used cannulation techniques, percutaneous cannula...

Introduction Young onset dementia (YOD) develops before 65 years of age and has specific age-related adverse consequences for quality of life (QoL). We systematically examined factors related to the QoL of people with YO...

Background Observational studies have shown that endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) benefits patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (aBAO) in the ultra-late window, yet subgroups at high risk of unfavourable outcome r...

Abstract Background Postoperative biliary and vascular complications (including stenosis, thrombosis, and occlusion) after liver transplantation (LT) can impair graft function, increase reoperation needs, and elevate pat...

ABSTRACT Bradypus variegatus, the common sloth, belongs to the Bradypodidae family, being considered a biological model to be applied in multidisciplinary research. This study was developed with the aim of being applied ...

Cystoliths are phytoliths of silica and calcium carbonate and are produced in a few groups of dicotyledonous angiosperms. Anatomical and, more recently, phytolith studies have recorded them in different families. In the ...

Abstract Background Carotid atherosclerosis is a kind of systemic atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries. It remains one of the leading causes of ischemic stroke. However, the efficiency of treatment is insufficient. Th...

Abstract Periodontitis has been increasingly recognized as a contributor to systemic diseases such as atherosclerosis due to its persistent inflammatory nature. The present study evaluates an innovative nanocomposite, LL...

The capillary wall of the glomerulus, which is composed of glomerular endothelial cells (GECs), the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), and podocytes, is responsible for the ultrafi ltration of plasma in the kidney. The ...

Preeclampsia represents an unmasking of underlying vascular and metabolic vulnerability during the physiologic stress of pregnancy. Current first-trimester screening relies heavily on body mass index which incompletely c...

Objective: To summarize and contextualize current and future perspectives in the surgical treatment of lymphedema, exploring new techniques and technologies, integrated treatment modalities, and their real-time clinical ...

ObjectivesCerebral edema (CED) significantly exacerbates mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and can offset the benefits of endovascular therapy. Uric acid (UA) is recognized for its potential neuropro...

Abstract Background Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy significantly impact the cardiovascular system. While cardiac toxicity is well characterized, the effects on the aorta, the body’s largest art...

Abstract Background Laccases (LACs) are multicopper oxidases that play vital roles in lignin polymerization, cell wall formation, and various stress responses in plants. Despite their importance, genome-wide investigatio...

It is well known that coronary events and changes in the fibrinolytic system are common complications seen in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Previous studies have shown that the activities of the enzymes of fib...

Abstract Background Paraganglioma (PGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from extra-adrenal paraganglia. Renal hilar PGLs are exceptionally uncommon in children, and acute renal hypoperfusion with apparent renal at...

Abstract Background Procedures performed after-hours have been associated with worse outcomes in several procedural specialties. Data examining the relationship between procedure timing and adverse event severity in inte...

Abstract Purpose To critically evaluate evidence supporting the angiogenesis-inflammation hypothesis in diabetic retinopathy (DR); to examine the roles of angiogenic growth factors and inflammatory cytokines in the bipha...

Background Depression, one of the most frequent complications after stroke, increases the disease’s burden and physical disability. Poststroke depression (PSD) is a multifactorial disease with genetic, environmental an...

Abstract Background Understanding of equine herpesvirus‐1 (EHV‐1) myeloencephalopathy (EHM) is complicated by disparities among studies. Objective Compare clinical findings and outcome in horses involved in 2 recent ...

Abstract Lanthanide-based probes for second near-infrared (NIR-II) luminescence imaging enable deep-tissue penetration with minimal autofluorescence. However, their broader application is hindered by intrinsic limitation...
