Introduction And Importance: Incisional hernias are among the most frequent complications of abdominal surgery, with an incidence of 4-10 % of patients [1]. The multidisciplinary approach according to the patient's needs and their comorbidities has been shown to improve postoperative outcomes. This case report highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach including cardiology, general surgery, plastic surgery anesthesiology and intensive care unit for abdominal wall reconstruction in a patient with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction.
Clinical Presentation: We present a case of a 61-year-old patient with long-standing incisional hernia, without surgical correction due to the patient's condition and multiple comorbidities, advanced heart failure with reduced left ejection fraction (10-15 %) who underwent a multidisciplinary approach by cardiology, plastic surgery, anesthesiology, intensive care unit, and general surgery.
Discussion: The patient underwent abdominal wall reconstruction without complications. Due to multiple comorbidities, the patient was admitted in the ICU in the immediate postoperative period. He was discharged 9 days after surgery. The patient did not report long-term complications.
Conclusion: Heart failure is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications during surgical hospitalization. In patients with multiple comorbidities, the multidisciplinary approach represents an essential strategy in order to improve the surgical outcome, reduce costs to the health care system, and improve the patient's quality of life.

The development of surgical techniques, chemotherapy, biological agents, and multidisciplinary approaches have made patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases eligible for surgery. Many strategies have been developed to allow patients for surgical resection (percutaneous portal vein embolization, liver venous deprivation, parenchyma-sparing liver surgery, reverse strategy, associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy, and liver transplantation), the only form of disease control and curative treatment.

In patients with synchronic liver colorectal metastasis, resection of the primary tumor and liver metastases is the only potentially curative strategy. In such cases, there is no consensus on whether resection of the primary tumor and metastases should be performed simultaneously or whether a staged approach should be performed (resection of the primary tumor and after, hepatectomy, or hepatectomy first). Patients with no bowel occlusion and with extensive liver disease are advised neoadjuvant oncological therapy.

Chronic periodontitis is a prevalent inflammatory condition that affects both the oral health and systemic well-being of individuals, particularly those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Accurate diagnosis and evaluation of periodontal status are crucial for effective management of the disease. This narrative review aimed to compare the diagnostic and evaluative capabilities of conventional periodontal probing and salivary biomarkers in chronic periodontitis among individuals with T2DM.

Monoclonal antibodies are extensively used as biotherapeutics for treatment of a variety of diseases. Glycosylation of therapeutic antibodies is considered a critical quality attribute as it influences the effector function, circulatory half-life, immunogenicity, and eventually efficacy and patient safety. During upstream process development, media components play a significant role in determining the glycosylation profile.

Background: Pathology, traditionally focused on classification and diagnosis, is continuously evolving through new technologies. Advances in proteomics, epigenetics, tissue staining, and 3D imaging expand the possibilities of classical morphology.
Aim Of The Study: The aim of this study was to investigate how modern technologies can improve diagnostic accuracy and therapy selection and how they can be integrated into pathologic routine diagnostics.
