Background: Breast reconstruction can ease the psychological burden in breast cancer patients that have undergone mastectomy. The aim of our study is to collect the latest evidences to summarize whether pedicled TRAM (pTRAM) is non-inferior in terms of patient satisfaction and complications to free TRAM (fTRAM) so that it may be used in region with limited resources.
Methods: We performed a comprehensive search on studies that compared pTRAM and fTRAM flap from several databases.
Background: The mortality of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is quite high, which is largely due to cardiovascular complications caused by endothelial dysfunction. One of the important inflammatory mediators that contribute to RA joints arthritis of TNF-α, also proven to play a role in endothelial dysfunction and play a role in increasing intracellular lipolysis, thus increasing circulating FFA levels.
Objectives: To determine the correlation between TNF-α levels with VCAM-1 levels, correlation of TNF-α levels with FFA levels, and correlation of FFA levels with VCAM-1 levels.
