Rheumatoid arthritis, frailty, and outcomes of surgical hospitalizations: A national population‐based analysis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
OBJECTIVE Hospitalization, particularly for surgery, represents a period of heightened stress. We evaluated how frailty attenuates the association of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with negative health outcomes after elective non‐cardiac surgery. METHODS We conducted a cross‐sectional study using the National Inpatient Sample (2018 to 2020), including ...

Update in the treatment of extracranial atherosclerotic disease for stroke prevention

Stroke and Vascular Neurology, 2020
Stroke is a leading cause of adult mortality and disability worldwide. Extracranial atherosclerotic disease (ECAD), primarily, carotid artery stenosis, accounts for approximately 18%–25% of ischaemic stroke.

Simultaneous stenting of the left main coronary stem and internal carotid artery in a hemodynamically unstable patient [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2011
Introduction. Combined endovascular interventions on carotid and coronary arteries are rare. Stenting of the unprotected coronary left main stem is a high risk procedure.

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

Immediate and Delayed Procedural Stroke or Death in Stenting Versus Endarterectomy for Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis. [PDF]

, 2018
Background and Purpose- Stenting for symptomatic carotid stenosis (carotid artery stenting [CAS]) carries a higher risk of procedural stroke or death than carotid endarterectomy (CEA).

Serial Molecular‐Microstructural Multimodal Intravascular Imaging of Atherosclerotic Plaques in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel longitudinal molecular and microstructural intravascular imaging approach is developed to study murine atherosclerosis. The technique combines a unique surgical model with a miniaturized multimodal device to detect macrophage activity and lipid simultaneously.

Ilexoside K Ameliorates Atherosclerosis by Suppressing CD72hi Macrophages and Blocking CXCL12–CXCR4 Axis to Inhibit Endothelial Pyroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CD72hi macrophages drive endothelial pyroptosis and accelerate atherosclerosis through CXCL12–CXCR4‐mediated immune–vascular crosstalk. Ilexoside K suppresses this pathogenic communication by modulating CXCR4‐dependent endothelial responses, reducing inflammation and plaque progression. These findings reveal a macrophage–endothelial regulatory axis and
