Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) pose a significant clinical challenge, characterized by impaired wound healing, chronic inflammation, and increased risk of infection. Neutrophils, as critical components of the innate immune response, play a pivotal role in the initial stages of wound healing, particularly during the inflammatory phase. This review explores the intricate relationship between neutrophil migration, inflammation, Read More

Introduction/ObjectiveAtrial fibrillation (AF) could present with slow ventricular-response; bradycardia could facilitate the emergence of AF. The conviction that one “does not succumb” from bradycardia as an escape rhythm will emerge unless one sustains a fatal injury following syncope is in stark difference with ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VA), which may promptly cause cardiac arrest. However, this is not always the case, a Read More

BackgroundContrast-induced Acute Kidney Injury (CI-AKI) frequently occurs as a complication following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), making the identification of high-risk patients challenging. While the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) might aid in predicting CI-AKI, the current evidence remains insufficient.MethodsWe conducted a systematic literature search using PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Read More
