Article Synopsis
- - This study looked at how the COVID-19 pandemic affected midfacial fracture patterns in a German trauma center, comparing cases from before (Feb 2019-Jan 2020) and during (Feb 2020-Jan 2021) the pandemic.
- - Results showed a decrease in total midface fractures during the pandemic (88 pre-COVID vs. 57 during), with more falls and home accidents but fewer sports injuries and violence-related fractures.
- - The study suggests that the changes in fracture circumstances and increased hospital wait times during COVID-19 could help inform future treatments for facial injuries in similar situations.
Background: Odontomas are among the most common odontogenic tumors and are generally considered as hamartomatous odontogenic lesions. These tumors can be histopathologically divided into complex odontomas and compound odontomas based on their composition. Odontomas show a slow growing behavior and typically lack characteristic symptoms.

The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on nasal bone (NB) fracture patterns/distributions and circumstances in a German cranio-maxillofacial trauma center.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study compared the nasal fracture patterns of patients in the PreCovid (PC) era (February 2019 - January 2020) with patients in the IntraCovid (IC) era (February 2020 - January 2021).
Thromboembolic events are complications in cancer patients and hypercoagulability has been linked to the tissue factor (TF) pathway, making this an attractive target. Here, we investigated the effects of chemotherapeutics and CDK inhibitors (CDKI) abemaciclib/palbociclib (CDK4/6), THZ-1 (CDK7/12/13), and dinaciclib (CDK1/2/5/9) alone and in combination regimens on TF abundance and coagulation. The human colorectal cancer (CRC) cell line HROC173 was treated with 5-FU or gemcitabine to stimulate TF expression.

Panoramic radiograph (PR) or computed tomography (CT) are part of the routine diagnostics in ES. Currently, CT is considered the gold standard.
