Regional and patient characteristic disparities in the outcomes of minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study aimed to clarify whether differences in minimally invasive surgery outcomes are associated with regional and patient characteristics. This study found regional and patient characteristic disparities in minimally invasive surgical outcomes; national policies should be implemented to address these inequities.

Cystatin C as Biomarker for the Evaluation of Renal Outcome in AL Amyloidosis

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cystatin C (CysC) has emerged as a novel and potentially more reliable biomarker for the estimation of glomerular filtration in the general population in patients with various conditions. In AL amyloidosis, the current renal staging system and renal response criteria are based on proteinuria and creatinine‐based eGFR.

Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte and monocyte‐to‐lymphocyte ratios as inflammatory markers in the assessment of glycemic status in diabetic patients of Asir region

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (MLR) were investigated as potential markers. A total of 3545 subjects were included in the analysis retrospectively. Adult men and women with impaired glucose metabolism were assessed. NLR and MLR may help assess inflammation in individuals with impaired glucose metabolism. Abstract

Influence of the arterial elastic component on the response to balloon angioplasty in femoral arteries of a healthy porcine model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the role of elastin in vascular response 28 days after balloon angioplasty using uncoated and paclitaxel‐coated balloons in a healthy porcine model. The results show higher elastin content in external femoral arteries, which is inversely correlated with vascular injury, inflammation, smooth muscle cell loss, proteoglycan and fibrin

Noradrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human heart and changes associated with cardiomyopathy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.
