Paul T King April 27, 2024 J Clin Med. 2024 Apr 19;13(8):2390. doi: 10.3390/jcm13082390. ABSTRACT Extracellular traps made by neutrophils (NETs) and other leukocytes such as macrophages and eosinophils have a key role in the initial immune response to infection but are highly inflammatory and may contribute to tissue damage. They are particularly relevant to…
Aneta Zwierzchowska April 27, 2024 J Clin Med. 2024 Apr 18;13(8):2336. doi: 10.3390/jcm13082336. ABSTRACT Despite the established safety and efficacy of midurethral slings (MUS), which are the current gold standard treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the potential for postoperative complications remains a significant concern for both healthcare professionals and patients. Meanwhile, sonography has emerged…
Pietro Luciano Serra April 27, 2024 J Clin Med. 2024 Apr 14;13(8):2268. doi: 10.3390/jcm13082268. ABSTRACT The article introduces neurotrophic keratopathy (NK), a condition resulting from corneal denervation due to various causes of trigeminal nerve dysfunctions. Surgical techniques for corneal neurotization (CN) have evolved, aiming to restore corneal sensitivity. Initially proposed in 1972, modern approaches offer…
Wei-Shan Tsai April 27, 2024 J Clin Med. 2024 Apr 11;13(8):2219. doi: 10.3390/jcm13082219. ABSTRACT Background/Objectives: This one-year prospective observational study, conducted at two centers, aimed to report the natural history of retinal sensitivity (RS) loss in diabetic macular ischemia (DMI). Methods: Patients with stable-treated proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) were recruited if there was evidence of…
Junjia Zhu April 27, 2024 Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2024 Mar 26;21(4):400. doi: 10.3390/ijerph21040400. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) increases the early detection of lung cancer. Identifying modifiable behaviors that may affect tumor progression in LDCT-detected patients increases the likelihood of long-term survival and a good quality of life. METHODS: We examined…
Ligia Balulescu April 27, 2024 J Pers Med. 2024 Mar 25;14(4):340. doi: 10.3390/jpm14040340. ABSTRACT STUDY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this systematic review is to investigate the impact of laparoscopic myomectomy techniques on pregnancy outcomes, with a specific focus on the correlation between the type of suture used during the procedure and the incidence of uterine…
Xin Gu April 27, 2024 Cancers (Basel). 2024 Apr 20;16(8):1589. doi: 10.3390/cancers16081589. ABSTRACT Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), one of the deadliest cancers, presents significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to its aggressive, metastatic nature and lack of early detection methods. A key obstacle in PDAC treatment is the highly complex tumor environment characterized by…
Pasquale Niscola April 27, 2024 Cancers (Basel). 2024 Apr 19;16(8):1563. doi: 10.3390/cancers16081563. ABSTRACT Myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDSs) encompass a range of hematopoietic malignancies, commonly affecting elderly individuals. Molecular alterations in the hematopoietic stem cell compartment drive disease pathogenesis. Recent advancements in genomic profiling have provided valuable insights into the biological underpinnings of MDSs and have expanded…
Aakash Patel April 27, 2024 Cancers (Basel). 2024 Apr 18;16(8):1551. doi: 10.3390/cancers16081551. ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Although the overall incidence of CRC is decreasing, the incidence of young-onset CRC, characterized by a diagnosis of CRC before age 50, is increasing. Outcomes for CRC patients are improving,…
Emilia Staniewska April 27, 2024 Cancers (Basel). 2024 Apr 18;16(8):1542. doi: 10.3390/cancers16081542. ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: There is growing interest in the prognostic value of routinely performed pre-treatment blood test indices, such as the RDW or SII, with the latter combining the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). These indices were shown to be prognostic for…
