Nanoarchitectonic Engineering of Thermal ‐Responsive Magnetic Nanorobot Collectives for Intracranial Aneurysm Therapy
A nanorobotic platform engineered to treat intracranial aneurysms (IAs) through rapid and stable embolization by deploying thermal-responsive FTP nanorobots consisting of phase-change material (PCM)-encapsulated magnetite-thrombin (Fe3O4-Th@PCM), which synergistically integrate smart material design, secure drug packaging, agile magnetic actuation, and clinical interventional imaging to circumvent exogenous implant rejection and cumbersome microcatheter shaping for quicker and after IA therapy in clinics. AbstractStent-assisted coiling is a main treatment modality for intracranial aneurysms (IAs) in clinics, but critical c...

Coronary artery disease as a risk factor for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and liver fibrosis
CONCLUSIONS: MASLD is highly prevalent in patients with significant CHD but without known liver damage. These data suggest that MASLD and liver fibrosis should be investigated in patients with CHD. The presence of confounding variables, especially the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus, should be evaluated in further studies.PMID:38710474 | DOI:10.1016/j.aohep.2024.101511 (Source: Annals of Hepatology)

Diagnosis and management of acute aortic dissection in the emergency department
Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2024 Apr 30;85(4):1-9. doi: 10.12968/hmed.2023.0366.ABSTRACTAcute aortic dissection is often misdiagnosed as a result of its atypical presentations. It affects 4000 patients a year in the UK of all ages, not just older patients, with increasing numbers of cases expected in the future because of the ageing population. Dissection of the aortic wall leads to sudden, severe pain, and commonly end-organ symptoms which must be recognised. Acute aortic dissection can be challenging to diagnose in the emergency department because of the multitude of possible presentations and the need for selective testing wi...

The triglyceride-glucose index as a predictive marker for coronary slow flow phenomenon
CONCLUSIONS: This study's findings suggest that the TyG may serve as a useful marker for identifying individuals at risk of CSFP and provide insights into the potential role of IR in its pathophysiology.PMID:38708458 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202404_36015 (Source: European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences)

Correlation between insulin resistance and coronary collateral circulation in patients with chronic total coronary occlusion
CONCLUSION: The non-diabetic patients with a low level of CC had significant insulin resistance. The degradation pathways of aromatic compounds, fatty acid biosynthesis, and steroid degradation are closely correlated with the development of CC.PMID:38708513 | DOI:10.12122/j.issn.1673-4254.2024.04.21 (Source: Journal of Southern Medical University)

Effects of slit lamp-delivered retinal laser photobiomodulation in a rat model of choroidal neovascularization
This study investigated whether photobiomodulation attenuates characteristic pathological features of choroidal neovascularization in a rodent model. Experimental choroidal neovascularization was induced in Brown Norway rats with laser photocoagulation. A custom-designed, slit-lamp-mounted, 670 nm laser was used to administer retinal photobiomodulation every 3 days, beginning 6 days prior to choroidal neovascularization induction and continuing until the animals were killed 14 days later. The effect of photobiomodulation on the size of choroidal neovascular membranes was determined using isolectin-B4 immunohistochemistry a...

Use of coronary artery calcium score and coronary CT angiography to guide cardiovascular prevention and treatment
Ther Adv Cardiovasc Dis. 2024 Jan-Dec;18:17539447241249650. doi: 10.1177/17539447241249650.ABSTRACTCurrently, cardiovascular risk stratification to guide preventive therapy relies on clinical scores based on cardiovascular risk factors. However, the discriminative power of these scores is relatively modest. The use of coronary artery calcium score (CACS) and coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has surfaced as methods for enhancing the estimation of risk and potentially providing insights for personalized treatment in individual patients. CACS improves overall cardiovascular risk prediction and may be used to improve the yield o...

Correlations Between Acute Coronary Syndrome and Novel Inflammatory Markers (Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index, Systemic Inflammation Response Index, and Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation) in Patients with and without Diabetes or Prediabetes
CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that the aforementioned inflammatory markers may have potential for distinguishing DM/preDM patients at higher risk of ACS at a low financial cost. However, further comprehensive and well-designed research is required to validate their clinical utility.PMID:38707954 | PMC:PMC11067916 | DOI:10.2147/JIR.S454117 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

A review of arterial thoracic outlet syndrome

Epub 2024 Feb 13.ABSTRACTArterial thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a condition in which anatomic abnormalities in the thoracic outlet cause compression of the subclavian or, less commonly, axillary artery. Patients are usually younger and typically have an anatomic abnormality causing the compression. The condition usually goes undiagnosed until patients present with signs of acute or chronic hand or arm ischemia. Workup of this condition includes a thorough history and physical examination; chest x-ray to identify potential anatomic abnormalit...
