Textural analysis is pivotal in augmenting the diagnosis and outcomes of endovascular procedures for stroke patients. Due to the detection of changes imperceptible to the human eye, this type of analysis can potentially aid in deciding the optimal type of endovascular treatment. We included 40 patients who suffered from acute ischemic stroke caused...
Background and aims. The conventional computed tomography (CT) appearance of ovarian cystic masses is often insufficient to adequately differentiate between benign and malignant entities. This study aims to investigate whether texture analysis of the fluid component can augment the CT diagnosis of ovarian cystic tumors. Methods. Eighty-four patient...
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading cause of mortality globally (violent or non-violent), with few to no feasible remedies. The etiopathogenesis of SCD involves a complex and multilayered substrate in which dynamic factors interact with a preexistent cardiovascular pathology, which is often undiagnosed and untreated, leading to the rapid deve...
Introduction
The current paper presents an examination of the emerging role of deep learning-based simulation software in enhancing preprocedural planning for intracranial aneurysm treatment using flow diverters. Intracranial aneurysms pose significant risk due to their potential rupture leading to life-threatening subarachnoid hemorrhage. Innovati...
Background:
Arteriovenous fistula dysfunction is a widely disputed subject in the scientific literature on end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The main cause of mortality and morbidity in these patients is the non-maturation or dysfunction of the arteriovenous fistula. Despite the many complications, the native arteriovenous fistula remains the gold...

Introduction : Acute abdominal pain persists in defying modern diagnostic procedures. Inflammatory response variables in urine and blood tests can help rule out other disorders and support a clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA), but there is no specific blood test that can diagnose AA. In order to address this, our study sought to establis...
Due to their similar imaging features, high-grade gliomas (HGGs) and solitary brain metastases (BMs) can be easily misclassified. The peritumoral zone (PZ) of HGGs develops neoplastic cell infiltration, while in BMs the PZ contains pure vasogenic edema. As the two PZs cannot be differentiated macroscopically, this study investigated whether compute...

... [1][2][3][4] Vein grafts continue to have a significant failure rate of 25-50% at 5 years. 5,6 The most common cause of vein graft failure is neointimal hyperplasia. This complex process begins intraoperatively and continues when the artery is exposed to significantly higher pressure, 7,8 resulting in mechanical strain that upregulates insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and its receptors, inducing vascular smooth muscle cells proliferation or intimal hyperplasia. ...
... In our study, we observed that elevated levels of neutrophilto-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were associated with adverse outcomes, such as longer hospital stays and increased risk of complications. These findings align with previous research (8)(9)(10) and highlight the potential clinical utility of these markers as prognostic indicators. However, it is important to note that our study had a relatively small sample size, which may limit the generalizability of the findings. ...

... One of the factors that seem to play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of cognitive impairment is an atherosclerotic carotid disease, including flow-limiting stenosis, increased intima-media thickness and high-risk carotid plaque features [24,25]. There has been increased attention to individual plaque components as well as the degree of stenosis as potential determinants of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease [26,27]. Though there is a strong association between high-risk plaque elements and future and recurrent stroke [28], there are fewer studies evaluating the association of plaque features with the development of cognitive dysfunction and dementia. ...

Numerous works have highlighted their predictive potential in this context [60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73]. Recently, Wachsmann et al. [74,75] emphasized the importance of diabetes control and HbA1C in the favorable evolution one year after endovascular treatment in patients diagnosed with critical limb ischemia; much more recently in 2022, they published a systematic review in which they demonstrated the role of leukotrienes in cardiovascular atherosclerotic pathology. ...
