The following is a summary of “Restrictive or Liberal Blood Transfusion in Patients with Myocardial Infarction and CKD,” published in the January 2025 issue of Nephrology by Strom et al. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases the risk of myocardial infarction and...
Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture (PIVSR) is a rare but serious complication of acute myocardial infarction. Determining how to conduct surgical repair safely is critical. We compared the outcomes of Impella and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation...
Although laser refractive surgeries and multifocal intraocular lens implantation are generally avoided in patients with diabetic retinopathy, a substantial proportion of well-glycaemic-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus patients are considered for these...
Atherosclerosis risk is elevated in diabetic patients, but the underlying mechanism such as the involvement of macrophages remains unclear. Here, we investigated the underlying mechanism related to the pro-inflammatory activation of macrophages in the development...
Growing evidence suggests a potential link between periodontal disease and the development of atherosclerosis, positioning periodontal disease as a possible risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This study aimed to evaluate periodontal status in patients...
