Availability of the Great Saphenous Veins as Conduits for Arterial Bypass Surgery in Patients with Varicose Veins.

The great saphenous vein (GSV) has long been recognized as the best conduit for vascular bypass procedures. Concomitant varicose veins disease may be a reason for GSV unavailability either due to dilatation and tortuosity of the vein or due to its destruction during invasive venous treatment. -to assess the rate of varicose vein patients with concomitant lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) who have previously lost their GSV due to venous ablation.

СOMPARATIVE SPECTROPHOTOMETRY ANALYSIS OF ZIRCONIUM DIOXIDE WITH THE CUBIC AND TETRAGONAL PHASE AFTER ARTIFICIAL AGING.

Aim - to evaluate optical features of the 3, 4 and 5Y-TZP zirconium dioxide with the spectrophotometry analysis under artificial aging procedure. For all experiments, identical standardized specimens of different types of zirconia with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 1 mm were used. These types included Katana (Kuraray Noritake Dental, Tokyo, Japan) HTML (control) UTML, STML and ZirCAD Prime (Ivoclar Vivadent).

EFFECT OF SURFACE TREATMENT PROTOCOLS OF ZIRCONIUM DIOXIDE MULTILAYER RESTORATIONS ON FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF THE HUMAN ORAL MUCOSA STROMAL CELLS.

Aim - to study the effect of protocols of surface treatment of zirconium dioxide multilayer restorations on the functional properties of stromal cells of the human oral mucosa using molecular biological methods. For all experiments, identical standardized specimens of different types of zirconia with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 1 mm were used. These types included Katana (Kuraray Noritake Dental, Tokyo, Japan) HTML (control) UTML, STML and ZirCAD Prime (Ivoclar Vivadent).

Fake-news-free evidence-based communication for proper vein-lymphatic disease management.

Published scientific evidence demonstrate the current spread of healthcare misinformation in the most popular social networks and unofficial communication channels. Up to 40% of the medical websites were identified reporting inappropriate information, moreover being shared more than 450,000 times in a 5-year-time frame. The phenomenon is particularly spread in infective diseases medicine, oncology and cardiovascular medicine.

Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 plasma concentration in blood from varicose veins decreases under venoactive drug treatment.

Background: Vein-specific inflammation leads to vascular smooth muscle cells proliferation and extracellular matrix degradation of vein wall. This process is known as remodeling and is promoted by "trapped" leukocytes. Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) is a chemokine responsible for trafficking of leukocytes from blood to vein wall.
