Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the patterns of maxillo-facial fractures in Italy across different phases of the pandemic.
- It analyzed data from 2938 patients who underwent surgery for facial fractures during four key periods: pre-pandemic, first wave, partial restrictions, and post-pandemic.
- Significant differences were found in hospitalization causes between pre-pandemic and certain pandemic phases, while demographics like gender and age showed no notable changes over time.
Luteolin belongs to the flavone family originally present in some fruits and vegetables, including olives, which decrease intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) following the activation of various stimuli. Luteolin inhibits inflammation, a complex process involving immune cells that accumulate at the site of infectious or non-infectious injury, with alteration of the endothelium leading to recruitment of leukocytes. Cytokines have been widely reported to act as immune system mediators, and IL-1 family members evolved to assist in host defense against infections.

We conceived to explore the potentialities of a modified superiorly and medially extended lateral retrocanthal (LRC) approach.
Methods: Six head specimens were dissected.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly contagious virus that infects humans and a number of animal species causing coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), a respiratory distress syndrome which has provoked a global pandemic and a serious health crisis in most countries across our planet. COVID-19 inflammation is mediated by IL-1, a disease that can cause symptoms such as fever, cough, lung inflammation, thrombosis, stroke, renal failure and headache, to name a few. Strategies that inhibit IL-1 are certainly helpful in COVID-19 and can represent one of the therapeutic options.

This is particularly true for SCs occurring at the C1-C2 level, which are rare, but oftentimes lead to a rapidly evolving cervical myelopathy.
Methods: We report a series of 4 patients (M:F ratio=1:1; mean age 63.
