Specialists in the field often face uncertainty in deciding whether to perform sinus lifting surgery in the presence of a mucosal cyst during the pre-implantation preparation of patients with maxillary sinus pathology. While some specialists believe that the sinus lifting operation cannot be performed in the presence of sinus pathology and should be resorted to after a long period of healing, others believe that it can be performed in the presence of sinus pathology or simultaneously with sinus sanitation. As a result, there are more controversies about the treatment tactics, stages, and timing required to achieve the rehabilitation of these patients, demonstrating the significance of the problem at hand.
The research type of an article tag
The article presents the results of studies of the effect of applying topical fluorinated glucocorticosteroids in combination with ceramides on the barrier function of the skin of experimental animals with allergic dermatoses (guinea pigs).
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is one of the most important diseases of great medical and social importance, due to its progressive and significant takeover, which can lead to early disability. The prevalence of psoriatic arthritis is evidenced in the age range of 20-50 years, and both sexes are equally affected. PsA usually has a violent progression with osteo-articular mutilation.
Preterm birth prediction in pregnant women over than 35 years. Observational analytical cohort study
Premature birth can occur at any age; however, it is important to note that the risk of preterm birth can vary based on several factors, including the mother's medical history, general health, and lifestyle. There is thought to be a relationship between maternal age and the risk of preterm birth, although the exact nature of this relationship may vary. At the same time, it is considered for ages over 35, an increased risk factor for the evolution of pregnancies with complications. Pregnant women over 35 face a higher risk of premature birth. This increased risk may be associated with age-related factors such as underlying health conditions, higher rates of multiple pregnancies (due to fertility treatments), and potential placental dysfunction.
The unintentional leaving of gauze sponges in the abdomen after laparotomy is a rare but serious medical error. The diagnosis of a textile foreign body can be challenging due to its rarity, potential long-term asymptomatic evolution, and nonspecific imaging findings that may be unfamiliar to radiologists.
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia represents the advanced stage of atherosclerosis and is often associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity, resulting in high mortality rates. The hybrid approach combines surgical and endovascular techniques, allowing for optimal revascularization of multilevel lower limb atherosclerotic lesions. Additionally, the hybrid approach offers the advantages of shorter procedure times and reduced trauma compared to the classical method. It is also expected to result in a shorter length of hospital stay for patients. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between the hybrid approach and the length of hospital stay compared to the classical vascular surgical approach in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia, multilevel atherosclerosis, and a high anesthesiologic risk.
Open balloon thrombectomy and embolectomy remain the preferred initial option in the management of acute lower limb ischemia (ALI), but various endovascular techniques have become accessible and are growing in popularity. The aim of the study was to assess our early experience with percutaneous vacuum-assisted thromboaspiration using the Penumbra/Indigo® system for non-traumatic ALI.
Acute appendicitis is among the three most frequent surgical diseases. The lifetime likelihood of developing acute appendicitis is around 7%. The incidence of acute appendicitis reduces with age after adolescence. Several studies evaluated the relevance of the current scores to the general population, mostly children, but a limited number of studies have studied the elderly population. This study aims to assess the clinical effectiveness of the new diagnostic score for the elderly population in comparison to both the Alvarado score and the non-standardized score.
Insects, throughout evolution, have developed a huge arsenal of active compounds, which they use to defend themselves against enemies and diseases, at the same time in recent years insects have shown great interest as a source of food rich in biologically active substances. Research in recent decades has shown that insects produce a variety of proteins and peptides with antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, hepatoprotective, antithrombotic, antihypertensive and detoxifying activity during or after contact with the microbial agent or unfavourable factor.
Abdominal breathing is utilized as a non-pharmacological treatment method for various stress-related conditions and autonomic dysfunctions. The objective of the study was to determine the predictors in the modulation of sympathovagal balance, as indicated by the ratio of low frequency to high frequency power of heart rate variability, by utilizing the respiratory pattern parameters recorded during the abdominal breathing model.
