Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Background The optimal surgical management of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer with calcifications remains controversial, particularly when pathologic complete response (pCR) is suspected. Purpose To identify factors associated with pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and assess whether calcifications affect the performance of radiologic complete response (rCR) at MRI for predicting pCR. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included patients with HER2-positive breast cancer who received neoadjuvant docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab and underwent surgery between January 2021 and October 2023.

Background: Fascioliasis, caused by and , is a neglected tropical disease that has significant medical and veterinary importance. This foodborne zoonotic trematodiases primarily affects poor rural populations in tropical and subtropical areas, where prevalence can be as high as 21%.
Objective: This study aims to characterize the clinical features, laboratory findings, and outcomes of fascioliasis in a real-world cohort.

Background: Conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (C-MIE) is the mainstay for locally advanced esophageal cancer. However, the relationship among facility size, risk-adjusted mortality and morbidity in C-MIE remains unclear. This study aims to clarify whether C-MIE should be consolidated into high-volume centers in Japan.
