Aim: The COVID-19 disease primarily affects the respiratory system; however, cardiac involvement has been documented in the acute phase. We aimed to evaluate the cardiac autonomic function and subtle left ventricular dysfunction in those subjects recovered from mild to moderate acute COVID-19 patients but still symptomatic.
Methods And Results: The study group was composed of 50 subjects with confirmed mild to moderate COVID-19.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to connect clinical symptoms of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) with bone changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
- Data was collected from patients experiencing TMJ symptoms over a year, correlating clinical observations with CBCT imaging results.
- Although limited mouth opening and a relationship between pain and bone changes were noted, there was no significant correlation between CBCT findings and TMD symptoms, emphasizing the importance of clinical evaluation in treatment decisions.
Background: The increase in Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associated mortality is predominantly due to accelerated coronary artery and cerebrovascular atherosclerosis with increased risk of ischemic heart disease about 50% in RA patients compared to controls.
Objective: To study the pathogenesis of ischemic heart disease in RA, role of inflammatory cytokine interplay, disease activity and rheumatoid factor positivity.
Methods: Eighty RA patients and 44 healthy controls were included.
