the evolution of axillary management in breast cancer has witnessed significant changes in recent decades, leading to an overall reduction in surgical interventions. There have been notable shifts in practice, aiming to minimize morbidity while maintaining oncologic outcomes and accurate staging for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. These advancements have been facilitated by the improved efficacy of adjuvant therapies.

ALND is conventionally performed using radio frequency electrosurgery. The post-operative complications of utilizing such energy (such as prolonged drainage time, seroma, or infection) lead to prolonged recovery.

- - Bones act as reservoirs for essential minerals and cells while protecting organs and shaping the body, but osteoporosis poses a significant threat to overall quality of life.
- - There is increasing interest in using natural products and Mediterranean medicinal plants as alternatives for treating osteoporosis and preventing related fractures, though their use remains limited.
- - This article highlights seven specific Mediterranean plants and their active compounds (e.g., xanthotoxin, polyphenols) that show promise as anti-osteoporosis agents, suggesting a need for more research in developing plant-based therapies.
Deciphering the Effect of Hyaluronic Acid/Collagen Hydrogel for Pain Relief and Tissue Hydration in a Rat Model of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration.
Polymers (Basel)
September 2024
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is one of the primary causes of low back pain, causing disability; hence, there is no regenerative nature of the current treatments. Hyaluronic acid (HA) was reported to facilitate tissue repair and alleviate pain. Herein, we determined the therapeutic effect of HA and type II collagen (COLII) hydrogel for tissue repair targeting pain in IVD degeneration.
