Bone defects resulting from congenital anomalies and trauma pose significant clinical challenges for orthopedics surgeries, where bone tissue engineering (BTE) aims to address these challenges by repairing defects that fail to heal spontaneously. Despite numerous advances, BTE still faces several challenges, i.e.

- A meta-analysis was conducted to compare outcomes between fasting and non-fasting patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, focusing on post-procedural recovery and satisfaction.
- The study included seven trials with 2,835 patients and found that non-fasting patients had significantly higher satisfaction scores, while having similar rates of nausea, hypoglycemia, and other complications compared to fasting patients.
- The conclusion suggested that non-fasting is as safe as fasting and improves patient satisfaction, recommending further research on flexible fasting guidelines for different patient groups.
Oils and lipids help make water-insoluble drugs soluble by dispersing them in an aqueous medium with the help of a surfactant and enabling their absorption across the gut barrier. The emergence of microemulsions (thermodynamically stable), nanoemulsions (kinetically stable), and self-emulsifying drug delivery systems added unique characteristics that make them suitable for prolonged storage and controlled release. In the 1990s, solid-phase lipids were introduced to reduce drug leakage from nanoparticles and prolong drug release.

Background: Restoration of a straight and adequately wide nasal dorsum is challenging in patients with deviated noses. Supporting a reformed septum with an extended spreader graft (ESG) is important for maintaining position.
Objective: The study aimed to describe different types of ESG and propose a comprehensive algorithm for using specific types of ESGs in rhinoplasty according to the particular type of deviated nose.
