Hematological inflammatory markers may be promising diagnostic markers for assessing the severity of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the levels of hematological inflammatory markers in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy.
According to the current recommendations of the European Association of Urology and the International Society of Urology, open simple prostatectomy is the reference standard in the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia of large size (>80 ml). Extended trauma and a high complication rate reduce the chances to use this method. In this context, several minimally invasive laser surgical treatment techniques have been proposed in order to provide an optimal treatment to patients. Transurethral endoscopic vapoenucleation of the prostate using laser energy is a new concept in endourological surgery.
The aim of study was to establish if the treatment of overactive bladder in women and its result reported by patients were different depending on the findings of urodynamics, performed before botulinum toxin injection. We obtained clinical data based on the necessity and importance of performing urodynamic tests up to surgical treatment with botulinum toxin A injection in detrusor muscle, at patients diagnosed with idiopathic overactive bladder and detrusor overactivity, offering a guarantee of an effective and long-lasting treatment and assure with predictive parameters for some postoperative complications.
The incidence and prevalence of gout have increased worldwide in recent decades. Scientists at the Rochester Epidemiology Project (MN, USA) have seen a two-fold increase in the incidence of primary gout (patients without diuretic exposure) over a 20-year period, which ended in 1996. The increase of incidence may be related due to the difficulty and often unsatisfactory treatment options. The aim of the study was to systematize the recommendations on dietary treatment, and medication for patients with gout.
Vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining musculoskeletal health. As the glomerular filtration rate decreases, vitamin D deficiency also occurs. The aim of this paper is to highlight the level of vitamin D depending on the stage of chronic kidney disease.
Peripheral biomarkers have numerous uses in the treatment, prognosis, and pharmacovigilance of epilepsy. Unfortunately, no peripheral biomarker has demonstrated proven efficacy, although several options are being investigated. In this article, we want to analyze the main areas in which peripheral biomarkers can present their usefulness, including participation in the processes of inflammation, dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier, changes in metabolism, hormones, and growth factors.
The inferior third molar is the most encountered impacted permanent tooth. Pericoronitis of the lower third molar is a term used to describe the inflammation around the crown of a tooth, usually of an incompletely erupted mandibular third molar. Mandibular molar impactions are usually mesioangular, distoangular, vertical, and horizontal. The position and type of the impaction may affect the development of pericoronitis. This study was conducted to assess the positions of the lower wisdom tooth as a risk factor for pericoronitis.
