Study on the Application of PRP Enriched with Hyaluronic Acid to Skin Wounds-Macroscopic Result.

Tissue healing is a complex process of replacing damaged tissue structures, being a dynamic process with spatial and temporal involvement. In practice, there are three types of healing: primary, secondary and tertiary. Since even tertiary healing can cause different problems depending on the individual patient, the medical world has always strived for new, easier, more effective, faster, and low cost-effective methods to cover skin wounds.

The Angiogenic Balance and Its Implications in Cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases: An Overview.

Angiogenesis is the process of developing new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. This review summarizes the main features of physiological and pathological angiogenesis and those of angiogenesis activation and inhibition. In healthy adults, angiogenesis is absent apart from its involvement in female reproductive functions and tissue regeneration.

Human Anthrax in Dolj County, Romania-A Series of Three Cases.

is the causative agent of anthrax, primarily a disease of herbivorous animals, which can be accidentally transmitted to humans. Three cases of cutaneous human anthrax were recorded in August 2020 in Dolj county, Romania. These cases included livestock farmers (husband and wife, as well as a man from their entourage).

New insights in the molecular pathways linking obesity, type 2 diabetes and cancer.

Steadily, cancer is becoming the first cause of mortality, with over 9 million deaths estimated in 2018. Increasing evidence supports a direct association between obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cancer, with a higher risk of cancer mortality especially for some of the most common malignancies, such as breast, colon, and rectal cancers. So far, several mechanisms underlying the cancer-diabetes relationship have been investigated revealing dysregulations of the insulin-insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system as the most important paradigm.

Immunohistochemical evaluation of hormone receptors with predictive value in mammary carcinomas.

Aim: Immunohistochemical evaluation of hormone receptors (ER, PR) and correlation of immunohistochemical and morpho-clinical data.

Materials And Methods: The study was performed on paraffin-embedded and HE-stained tissues originating from 100 cases of invasive mammary carcinoma. Monoclonal antibodies, anti-estrogen and anti-progesterone receptors, were used for the immunohistochemical study.

Retroperitoneoscopic lumbar sympathectomy: prospective study upon a series of 50 consecutive patients.

Background: Lumbar sympathectomy (LS) is still indicated for peripheral arterial occlusive diseases (PAOD) with critical ischemia beyond any vascular reconstruction. The retroperitoneoscopic approach was proven feasible and effective but its results were never evaluated in larger series.

Methods: Between January 2007 and January 2009, 50 patients were included in a prospective study (age range = 49-71 years; sex ratio: M/F = 9:1).
