Therapeutic role of low-volume plasma exchange in modulating lipopolysaccharides-binding protein and inflammatory pathways in metabolic syndrome
Introduction Metabolic syndrome (MetSy) is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, contributing to increased cardiometabolic risk. Low-volume plasma exchange (LVPE) is an emerging extracorporeal therapy designed to reduce systemic inflammation by removing…

Efficacy of torsemide versus furosemide in heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Introduction Loop diuretics are a cornerstone in the symptomatic management of heart failure. There is conflicting evidence regarding potential differences between torsemide and furosemide in their effects on heart failure outcomes. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled…

Lipid ratios as early screening markers of dyslipidemia in normal-BMI university students: a cross-sectional epidemiologic study
Introduction This study aimed to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and to assess the predictive performance of lipid ratios, specifically the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) and the total cholesterol (TC) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (TC/HDL) ratio, compared to body mass…

Life-saving but limb-threatening: vasopressor-induced acral ischaemia and necrosis – two cases and review of the literature
Acral ischaemia and necrosis are rare but severe complications of high-dose or prolonged vasopressor therapy in critically ill patients. Although these agents are life-saving in distributive shock, intense a-adrenergic vasoconstriction, microcirculatory failure, and coagulopathy can converge to…

Expression of visfatin, lipocalin-2, adiponectin, and chemerin in breast cancer and their association with clinicopathological parameters
Introduction Breast cancer remains the most common malignancy in women worldwide, with prognosis influenced not only by tumor-intrinsic factors but also by the tumor microenvironment. Adipokines, including visfatin, lipocalin-2, adiponectin, and chemerin, have been increasingly implicated in breast…

Spontaneous avulsion of the inferior mesenteric artery in a neurofibromatosis type 1 patient: a case-based review
We present the case of successful endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) in a 55-year-old male who presented with a ruptured infrarenal aortic pseudoaneurysm, formed after spontaneous avulsion of the inferior mesenteric artery. The avulsion occurred after lifting a heavy object…

Efficacy and safety of catheter ablation for atrial arrhythmias in patients with cardiac amyloidosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a restrictive cardiomyopathy characterized by amylin deposits in the heart muscle. While the prevalence of atrial arrhythmias in CA is high, the data regarding the outcomes of catheter ablation in these patients are limited. This study aimed to elucidate the…

Clinical outcomes of isolated versus systemic cardiac sarcoidosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction Isolated cardiac sarcoidosis (ICS) is characterized by a lack of the apparent extra-cardiac involvement seen in systemic cardiac sarcoidosis (SCS) and is being increasingly recognized as a distinct clinical phenotype of cardiac sarcoidosis. This systematic review and meta-analysis…

Trends in mortality from acute myocardial infarction among the obese population in the United States from 1999 to 2020: insights from CDC WONDER
Introduction Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a leading cause of death globally, with obesity identified as a significant risk factor for increased incidence and poorer post-event outcomes. Understanding trends in AMI mortality among obese populations is crucial for informing public health…

Comparative outcomes of drug eluting stents and drug eluting balloons in treating in-stent restenosis
Introduction Several treatment modalities have been proposed and used for bare-metal in-stent restenosis (ISR). We compared the efficacy of drug-eluting balloons (DEB) versus drug-eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of ISR in terms of binary restenosis, target lesion revascularization (TLR) and…

Omecamtiv mecarbil, a cardiac myosin activator with potential efficacy in heart failure
Heart failure (HF) is a growing global epidemic resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. The pathophysiology of HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is characterized by impaired systolic function resulting in diminished cardiac output. A new class of inotropes, cardiac myosin…
