This study aimed to perform a conceptual analytical synthesis of the available evidence on the functional state of the musculofascial system of the anterior abdominal wall in ventral hernia, to appraise the potential contribution of muscular dysfunct...
Stem cell transplantation represents a promising approach to regenerative medical therapies for many disorders, including neurodegenerative, rheumatologic, digestive, orthopedic, hematologic and cardiovascular diseases. In the case of stem cell thera...
Human skin remains difficult to model in vitro because it brings together stratified epidermal, dermal, hypodermal, vascular, immune, appendageal, neural, and microbial elements within a single tissue. Traditional two-dimensional cultures and animal...
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have long been recognized as key mediators of tumor invasion and metastasis due to their capacity to degrade extracellular matrix components. However, clinical failure of broad-spectrum MMP inhibitors has revealed a m...
Background and Objectives: To describe longitudinal ocular-surface microstructural findings on in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) after switching from benzalkonium chloride-preserved dorzolamide 2%/timolol 0.5% (BAK-DT) to preservative-free dorzolami...
Background: Bacillus anthracis spores pose a major biosecurity threat, in light of their use in several documented bioterror attacks and the fact that it was weaponized. The absence of specific and accurate treatment instructions in the 2001 anthrax...
Background and Objectives: Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors are widely used for moderate-to-severe psoriasis and are known to induce autoantibody formation in a proportion of treated patients. This study evaluated changes in ANA/...
Background: Retinal microvascular assessment has emerged as a promising non-invasive approach for evaluating vascular health. Recent advances in retinal imaging technologies have enabled detailed characterization of retinal vascular structure and fun...
Background: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is characterized by either diffuse or segmental enlargement of the coronary artery, with a diameter that exceeds 1.5 times that of the adjacent normal vessel. The underlying causes of CAE remain inadequately...
Background/Objectives: Breast implants are widely used in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Although they are not associated with an increased risk of breast carcinoma, growing attention has focused on implant-associated conditions, including bre...
Background: Food-based delivery systems are essential for the practical application of probiotics. A key challenge in translating this technology is determining whether the bacteria remain viable and biologically active after being incorporated into...
Background/Objectives: In resource-limited regions, limited access to genetic testing may delay etiological diagnosis in selected patients with epilepsy and complex neurological manifestations, particularly when the phenotype raises suspicion of an u...
Background: Although conventional cardiovascular risk scores are widely used, they do not fully capture the molecular mechanisms underlying vascular injury in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study investigated the association between the miR-34...
Background: Designing studies to increase knowledge of the beneficial effects of volatile halogenated anaesthetics(VHAs) is critical to understand the mechanisms activated by myocardial conditioning during ischaemia-reperfusion(I/R) injury. Our resea...
For decades, peritoneal metastases (PM) have been regarded as a terminal manifestation of advanced malignancies and managed primarily with palliative intent because of limited sensitivity to systemic therapies. Accumulating clinical, molecular, and i...
Background/Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety of a single dose versus three weekly doses of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) for the treatment of early syphilis. Methods: We searched Embase, PubMed, and Scopus for randomized controlled trial...
