Background And Objective: Although generally low-risk, hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers can lead to late-onset edema, particularly in the periocular region. This condition typically manifests three to four months post-injection and requires specialized management, usually with hyaluronidase. However, increased use of hyaluronidase has resulted in instances of post-hyaluronidase syndrome, leading to unaesthetic outcomes.

A competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dc-ELISA) was developed for the detection and quantification of scopolamine (SCO) in wheat flours and cereal samples (multigrain, oat and barley). The limit of quantification (IC) of the established method was 6.00 ± 1.

Methods: The validation and psychometric properties were developed according to the criteria of the Scientific Advisory Committee of Medical Outcomes Trust (SAC). The Spanish translation for linguistic and cultural adaptation of the V-RQOL was used.
Objectives: We examined the extent to which funded satellite clinics could sustain the California Colon Cancer Control Program (C4P) strategies implemented in health systems to increase uptake of the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) or immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT) for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in the absence of future C4P funds.
Introduction: Seven health systems consisting of 38 satellite clinics participated in C4P to examine the sustainability of the program in the absence future Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding.
Methods: Quantitative and qualitative methods with a close and open-ended survey approach, and a prospective cohort design were used to examine the sustainability of the C4P in health systems.
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) significantly contributes to cardiovascular death worldwide. ACS may arise from the disruption of an atherosclerotic plaque, ultimately leading to acute ischemia and myocardial infarction. In the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, inflammation assumes a pivotal role, not solely in the initiation and complications of atherosclerotic plaque formation, but also in the myocardial response to ischemic insult.
