Article Abstract
Introduction: This retrospective cross-sectional observational study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) for the progression of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Material And Method: A total of 280 patients diagnosed with LUTS were analyzed, and their demographic characteristics, laboratory results, urological parameters, and SII levels were recorded retrospectively.
Results: Clinical progression of LUTS was observed in 43.2% of the patients, with 23.9% undergoing surgery and 21.4% progressing to acute urinary retention. The study found that elevated SII levels were significantly correlated with disease progression and worse outcomes. Multivariate analysis revealed that peak urinary flow rate, erectile function scores, and platelet levels were risk factors for predicting clinical progression in LUTS/BPH patients.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation play a role in BPH pathogenesis and the development of LUTS. Incorporating SII assessment into routine clinical practice could aid in risk stratification, treatment decision-making, and monitoring of disease progression in LUTS/BPH patients.

Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation and Exercise-Induced Changes in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.

Background: Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is prevalent among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and associated with adverse outcome, yet this bidirectional association remains underexplored.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the pathophysiological and prognostic significance of AFMR in HFpEF, both at rest and during exercise.
Methods: In this multicenter cohort study, consecutive patients with HFpEF underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing with echocardiography, with a particular focus on mitral regurgitation (MR) severity assessment in rest and during exercise.

Purpose: To define the genetic architecture of foveal morphology and explore its relevance to foveal hypoplasia (FH), a hallmark of developmental macular disorders.
Methods: We applied deep-learning algorithms to quantify foveal pit depth from central optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scans in 61,269 UK Biobank participants. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using REGENIE, adjusting for age, sex, height, and ancestry.
First evaluation of a novel pulsatile LVAD: Feasibility and haemodynamic impact in acute heart failure.

Aims: Non-pharmacological therapies for acute decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock have evolved considerably in recent decades. Short-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices can be used as circulatory backup. While nearly all available devices use continuous flow, evidence indicates that pulsatile flow can be more effective.

Objective: To wean respiratory support, preterm infants with severe respiratory failure are often administered systemic corticosteroids. We sought to evaluate if postnatal age or clinical characteristics predicted death or tracheostomy following systemic dexamethasone in evolving bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Study Design: We performed a retrospective study of infants born at ≤ 30 weeks' gestational age cared for at a Level IV referral center from 2009 to 2019 who received a complete course of systemic dexamethasone beyond 4 weeks of age for the indication of preventing death and/or liberating from positive pressure ventilation.
Caught in the Crossroads: Damage Control Orthopedics versus Early Total Care for Polytrauma in the Indian Scenario.

Polytrauma patients are defined by the Berlin Consensus as those with severe injuries across multiple regions and require complex, adaptable treatment approaches to address both immediate and long-term needs of the patient, while considering the resource availability. This review evaluates early total care (ETC), which attempts early definitive fixation, against damage control orthopedics (DCO), which focuses on temporary stabilization to reduce physiological strain from surgery. While ETC promotes early mobilization, DCO reduces risks and subsequent complications associated with the "second hit" phenomenon in critically ill patients.
