BACKGROUND: Numerous studies conducted at heart disease centers globally have demonstrated that fractional flow reserve (FFR) serves as a dependable physiological metric for appraising the functional significance of coronary stenosis. The CRP/Albumin ratio (CAR) is a new inflammation-based risk index that offers an acc…

Study limitations represent weaknesses within a&#xa0;research design that may influence outcomes and conclusions of the research. Researchers have an obligation to the academic community to present complete and honest limitations of a&#xa0;presented study. Too often, authors use generic descriptions to describe study l…

Erythropoietin (EPO) has neuroprotective effects by increasing oxidative stress resistance and stabilizing redox balance. Ischemic-modified albumin (IMA) is a product of protein oxidation, and recent evidence suggests that IMA can be used as an indicator of oxidative damage. This study aimed to investigate serum EPO an…
