The aim of the study was to study hemodynamic parameters in patients with a local form of odontogenic infection (LFOI) in the presence of diseases of the cardiovascular system and without background pathology. 5 groups were formed: group 1 - patients with LFOI without background diseases (49 patients, mean age 29 [25; 37] years); group 2 - healthy individuals (25 people, mean age 24.7±0.76 years); group 3 - patients with LFOI and diseases of the cardiovascular system (34 patients, mean age 51.2±2.37 years); group 4 - patients without LFOI with diseases of the cardiovascular system (25 patients, mean age - 46 [43; 50] years); group of patients with LFOI without background pathology, comparable in age and sex composition with group 3 (group 5, 28 patients, mean age 48.9±2.30 years). The presence of LFOI in the patient in the absence of background pathology determines the heart rate (78 [72; 82] in 1 min) in comparison with the control group of healthy individuals (68.0±0.85 in 1 min), the values of minute volume of blood circulation (5.25±0.14 l/min) and systolic index (2.87 [2.56; 3.35]) l·m·min. The development of LFOI in patient with hypertension/ischemic heart disease was not associated with increased blood circulation features, such as the increase in resting heart rate values, the values of minute volume of blood circulation and systolic index.

Background: Locoregional therapy (LRT) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) before liver transplantation (LT) has a role in improving the tumor biology and post-LT survival outcome apart from downstaging and bridging. We retrospectively analyzed our database of adult living donor liver transplants (LDLT) for HCC, to compare the survival outcomes in Group-1 (upfront-LT, HCC within Milan/UCSF/AFP<1000 ng/ml) and Group-2 (LT post-LRT, HCC beyond UCSF/irrespective of tumor burden with AFP>1000 ng/ml). We also explored the risk factors for recurrence on follow-up.

Background: Little is known about the practices and resources employed by general practitioners (GPs) in Singapore to manage late-life depression. As the country is stepping up its efforts to promote collaborative care across community mental health and geriatric care, understanding GPs' current practices when managing late-life depression appears timely.
Methods: This qualitative descriptive study explored the perspectives on late-life depression of 28 private GPs practicing in Singapore through online semi-structured group and individual interviews.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects breathing, speech production, and coughing. We evaluated a machine learning analysis of speech for classifying the disease severity of COPD.
Methods: In this single centre study, non-consecutive COPD patients were prospectively recruited for comparing their speech characteristics during and after an acute COPD exacerbation.

Background: This study aims to investigate the association between vitamin D levels and the risk of severe acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study with 636 COPD patients admitted for exacerbations between January 2021 and December 2022. Patients were categorized based on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels: severe deficiency (<10 ng/mL), deficiency (10-20 ng/mL), insufficiency (20-30 ng/mL), or sufficiency (>30 ng/mL).

Background: Supratentorial function-eloquent brain tumour surgeries challenge the balance between maximal tumour resection and preservation of neurological function. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative and intraoperative mapping techniques on resection outcomes and post-operative deficits.
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined literature up to March 2023, sourced from PubMed, Embase, and Medline.
