Article Synopsis
  • - The study assessed demographics, clinical details, and outcomes of 274 Iranian patients with COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM), and found that most participants were middle-aged men with a mean age of 56.8 years.
  • - Key risk factors for increased mortality included smoking, ICU admission, advanced CAM stages, and specific treatments, while systemic corticosteroid use was linked to lower mortality rates.
  • - Results indicated that deceased patients had significantly worse visual acuity compared to those who survived, highlighting the importance of early detection and tailored interventions for CAM patients to enhance health outcomes.

Background: Cartilage is an avascular and alymphatic tissue that lacks the intrinsic ability to undergo spontaneous repair and regeneration in the event of significant injury. The efficacy of conventional therapies for invasive cartilage injuries is limited, thereby prompting the emergence of cartilage tissue engineering as a possible alternative. In this study, we fabricated three-dimensional hydrogel films utilizing sodium alginate (SA), gelatin (Gel), and chondroitin sulfate (CS).
