Long-Term Outcomes According to the Initially Intended Stenting Strategy for Unprotected Distal Left Main Bifurcation PCI: A Single-Centre Retrospective Cohort Study

Background: Optimal stenting for distal unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) bifurcation disease remains uncertain. We evaluated long-term outcomes by initially intended strategy. Methods: This retrospective, single-centre cohort included 234 consecutive patients undergoi...

Neural Gas Network-Based Distinction Between Brain Cysts and Tumors from Magnetic Resonance Images Using a Hybrid Deep Learning Algorithm

The early and accurate diagnosis of brain tumors is critically important, as timely intervention significantly reduces mortality and improves patient outcomes. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred diagnostic tool, differentiating malignant brain tumors from ben...

Effects of vasopressor dose on microcirculation despite preserved macrohemodynamic targets in septic shock: a prospective observational study

Background Septic shock may be complicated by hemodynamic incoherence, in which macrohemodynamic targets are achieved despite persistent microcirculatory alterations. Whether norepinephrine requirement is associated with dynamic microvascular reactivity after initial resuscitatio...

Association between the 2026 IDF-DAR risk category and Ramadan fasting intention among adults with diabetes in primary care: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background The 2026 International Diabetes Federation–Diabetes and Ramadan (IDF-DAR) Risk Calculator supports Ramadan-related diabetes risk assessment, but its association with fasting intention in primary care is unclear. We examined the association between risk categor...

Serum Asprosin Levels in Patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Case–Control Study

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease involving complex interactions between inflammatory and metabolic pathways. Asprosin is a glucogenic adipokine involved in glucose homeostasis, which has been investigated in relation to obesity, ins...

Perimenstrual repetitive greater occipital nerve blockade for menstrual migraine: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
