The Evaluation of Lipid-Lowering Treatment in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome in a Hungarian Invasive Centre in 2015, 2017, and during the COVID-19 Pandemic-The Comparison of the Achieved LDL-Cholesterol Values Calculated with Friedewald and Martin-Hopkins Methods.

Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represent a vulnerable population. We aimed to investigate serum lipid levels of patients with ACS upon admission and during one year of the COVID-19 pandemic in a rural county hospital, and compared these findings with the data of patients with ACS in 2015 and 2017. The secondary aim of this paper was the comparison of the LDL-C values calculated with the Friedewald and Martin-Hopkins methods.

A Conservative Technique for Fractured Implant Abutment Screw Retrieval on an Internal Connection Implant: Proof of Concept.

Broken screw removal from the implant connection is a common but challenging process. Several proposed methods and technical solutions may result in unsuccessful removal; thus, a novel, more conservative, risk-free method is proposed as a first attempt. The proposal is to use a silicon restoration holder to be twisted counterclockwise on the dried surface of the broken fragment inside the implant connection.

Comparative Study of TiO, ZnO, and NbO Photoanodes for Nitro-Substituted Naphthoquinone Photosensitizer-Based Solar Cells.

This research focuses on the first demonstration of NOLw (2-hydroxy-3-nitronaphthalene-1,4-dione) as a photosensitizer and TiO, ZnO, and NbO as photoanode materials for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The metal-free organic photosensitizer (i.e.

Incidental Serous Cystadenoma Presenting as a Photopenic Pancreatic Defect on 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT.

18F-fluciclovine (Axumin) PET/CT has been widely used for the evaluation of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer following prior treatment. While lymph node and visceral organ metastases typically show increased radiotracer uptake, altered patterns of normal physiologic activity may also provide insight into other disease processes. We present a case of an incidental pancreatic head mass presenting as a photopenic defect on a staging 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT, which was subsequently confirmed to be a benign serous cystadenoma using multisequence MRI.

[Lipid-lowering therapy of patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome in a Hungarian county hospital in 2015].

Introduction: The actual guidelines of cardiovascular prevention lay special emphasis on the lipid-lowering therapy of patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Aim: To evaluate the occurrence of high-intensity statin therapy, recommended by guidelines, at discharge in a Hungarian county hospital with hemodynamic laboratory in patients who underwent percutaneous intervention, furthermore the LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and goal attainment rate in the first year.

Method: Retrospective data collection from the hospital database regarding the therapy at discharge and the lipid levels in the year following the intervention due to ACS in 2015.
