Study on the pathogenic mechanisms and clinical treatment of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in diabetic complications

The accumulation of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), resulting from the Maillard Reaction formed via exogenous intake from food and a hyperglycemic internal environment in the body, can cause or exacerbate various complications of Diabetes Mellitus. This article discusses...

Thrombus molecular markers and thromboelastogram as early predictors of venous thromboembolism after total knee arthroplasty in perioperative elderly patients

Elderly patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty have a higher incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) owing to age, surgical trauma, and other factors. Numerous studies have employed the Caprini scale and d -dimer levels to evaluate perioperative coagulation function and pr...

Automatic measurement of knee parameters in three-dimensional computed tomography models: a deep learning-based approach

This study evaluates a deep learning algorithm for automated measurement of knee parameters from three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) reconstructions. We analyzed 323 CT scans from patients with normal knee morphology (mean age 39.10 ± 11.34 years; 200 male), randomly...

Association of a structured perioperative nursing intervention pathway with recovery and psychological outcomes in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery: a non-concurrent controlled study

Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) is a common condition associated with pain, functional limitation, and psychological distress. Although lumbar fusion surgery can relieve symptoms, postoperative recovery may be influenced by perioperative nursing care. This study aimed...

Post-injury high-sensitivity C-reactive protein to lymphocyte ratio and nonunion risk in adult extremity fractures: evidence from a multicenter retrospective cohort

Early immuno-inflammatory response serves a critical role in the process of fracture healing, and both excessive and insufficient activation after injury may predict adverse outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the association between post-injury high-sensitivity C-reactive...
