Objective: Aim: To evaluate the role of maxillary bone inflammation in the formation of MSCs through the comprehensive assessment of histological and radiological research results and the determination of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (RANKL) in tissue homogenates, nasal secretions, and blood plasma.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: We included 25 patients aged 20 to 65 with maxillary sinus cysts. We analyzed computed tomography and used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with human TNFSF11 (RANKL) in biological samples.
Article Synopsis
- Ukraine's unique socio-economic and political landscape, along with its historical diversity, provides valuable insights into mortality trends in Eastern Europe between 2006 and 2019.
- The analysis highlights a significant decline in mortality differences across regions, particularly noting that cardiovascular disease is a major factor behind these disparities, especially among older females.
- Despite progress, mortality from external causes has decreased, while issues like suicide, HIV, and lung cancer remain concentrated in specific areas, warranting further investigation into the underlying factors.
The short-term impact of famines on death and disease is well documented, but estimating their potential long-term impact is difficult. We used the setting of the man-made Ukrainian Holodomor famine of 1932-1933 to examine the relation between prenatal famine and adult type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This ecological study included 128,225 T2DM cases diagnosed from 2000 to 2008 among 10,186,016 male and female Ukrainians born from 1930 to 1938.

Objective: To establish the relation between prenatal famine exposure and adult Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Design: A national cross-sectional study.
Objectives: We set out to identify the contribution of various causes of death to regional differences in life expectancy in Ukraine.
Methods: Mortality data by oblast (province) were obtained from the State Statistical Committee of Ukraine. The contribution of various causes of death to differences in life expectancy between East, West and South Ukraine was estimated using decomposition.
