An analysis of results of complex examination of 75 patients with varicose disease and trophic ulcers has shown that in 81.4% of the patients the main hemodynamic factor resulting in the development of ulcers was highly intensive total-subtotal reflux of blood along the superficial veins, and in 9.3% it was the highly intensive profound reflux along the posterior tibial veins. In 9.3% of the patients the priority of blood reflux was not established. Trophic ulcers were developing under the influence of low intensity refluxes of blood in the superficial, profound veins and perforators in elderly patients against the background of heart failure.

Introduction: Destruction of the trigeminal (Gasserian) ganglion or peripheral damage to the trigeminal nerve may lead to trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS), a rare condition characterized by self-inflicted trauma. To date, under 200 cases of TTS are documented in medical literature, with only sparse studies reporting on oral complications secondary to this condition.
Case Report: The following report presents a well-documented case of oral complications associated with TTS in an 83-year-old Caucasian female presenting with right-sided lesions on her nasal ala, scalp, buccal mucosa, and tongue, secondary to self-inflicted injury following their second microvascular decompression for surgical management of trigeminal neuralgia.

Background & Aims: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can induce remission in patients with ulcerative colitis, yet its efficacy needs improvement. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the current literature on microbial factors affecting outcome, as well as a meta-analysis on some of the largest datasets regarding composition.
Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane were systematically searched through August 2024 for relevant studies.
