Understanding Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury: Implications in Disease
Ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a critical event involving cellular changes due to the disruption and subsequent restoration of blood supply. This process can lead to necrotic and apoptotic cell death, contributing to conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, and cancer. Dr. Ben Allsop's rese

Thrombolytic ST Segment Resolution Predicts Better Outcome in MI Patients
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, leading to heart muscle injury. Resolution of ST segment elevation on electrocardiogram after thrombolytic therapy can predict final infarct size, left ventricular function,
