Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory disease. This chronic periodontal disease is caused by a bacterial infection in the gums, which triggers a host inflammatory response. To eliminate the bacterial infection, immune response mechanisms are activated, leading to inflammation and damage to the periodontal tissues.

PGD is diagnosed and graded based on the ratio of the partial pressure of arterial oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen and chest X-ray results. PGD grade 3 increases recipient mortality and the chance of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD).

- This study investigated the risk factors for acute pancreatitis (AP) in Polish children undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and its effects on their health outcomes.
- The research involved 2303 children, revealing a 4.08% incidence of AP, with older age identified as a significant risk factor, but overall mortality from AP was low at 2.13%.
- Despite some patients experiencing AP, the study found no significant differences in disease-free survival (p-DFS) and event-free survival (p-EFS) between those with AP and those without, indicating that AP does not adversely affect long-term outcomes for these children.
Acute coronary heart disease (CHD) is mainly caused by the rupture of an unstable atherosclerotic plaque. Many different factors can cause stenosis or even occlusion of the coronary artery lumen, such as vasculitis and platelet aggregation. Our study was performed to assess the association between rs662, rs854560 and rs17321515, rs2954029 polymorphisms and the risk of CHD, as well as the association between studied polymorphisms and selected clinical parameters affecting the risk of developing ischemic heart disease.
