Background: Atherosclerosis is the main process in coronary artery stenosis, which is exacerbated by vitamin D deficiency. This study aims to investigate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency treatment, lipid profile, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in ischemic heart disease (IHD).
Materials And Methods: This is a double-blind, randomized clinical trial involving 44 IHD patients with hypovitaminosis, aged 40-65 years, who were referred to Chamran Specialty Heart Hospital, Isfahan, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- * Bioceramics are beneficial for both hard and soft tissue repair due to their bioactivity and antibacterial properties, which generally do not lead to side effects or resistance.
- * The review highlights the different types of bioceramics—oxide, silicate-based, and calcium-phosphate—and encourages their integration with other materials for improved, cost-effective wound healing outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- - Autologous postmastectomy breast reconstruction shows better long-term clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction compared to implant-based methods, but adjuvant radiotherapy has often been seen as a barrier to immediate reconstruction.
- - Recent advancements in postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) have reduced complications, yet plastic surgeons remain cautious about offering immediate flap-based reconstruction to patients requiring radiotherapy.
- - At a recent workshop, experts concluded that PMRT should not be viewed as a deterrent to immediate autologous reconstruction, emphasizing goals like symmetry, softness, and skin preservation in the reconstruction process.
