Aim: To provide a concise review on risk factors, stages, pathophysiology, prevention and possible treatment options for both MRONJ and ORN individually.

Methods: The review was conducted according to the 'Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses' (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive search of the PUBMED, Ebsco, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE and NDH for articles published up until 2021 was performed. After screening and full text analyses, 44 studies were included in this review. Definition, risk factors, etiology, symptoms, stages, pathophysiology, prevention and possible management options were explored and highlighted in this article.

Results: Three studies described osteonecrosis of jaw (ONJ) in general, 15 studies described ONJ associated with radiotherapy and 26 studies described ONJ associated with medications. Both the two conditions (ORN) and (MRONJ) have relatively similar clinical presentations clearing the fact that a resemblance in clinical presentations does not necessarily denote a similar pathophysiology.

Conclusion: However, various advancements have been made in the control and management of ONJ, but until and unless need for high tumoricidal doses exists, ONJ will certainly continue to remain as a clinical challenge demanding satisfactory treatment to improve the quality of life of the patient.

Epicardial Adipose Tissue from Computed Tomography: a Missing Link in Premature Coronary Artery Disease?

Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging

January 2025

Sorbonne Université, unité d'imagerie cardiovasculaire et thoracique, Hôpital La Pitié Salpêtrière (AP-HP), Laboratoire d'Imagerie Biomédicale, INSERM, CNRS, Institute of Cardiometabolism and Nutrition, ACTION Group, Paris, France.

Purpose: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) could contribute to the specific atherosclerosis profile observed in premature coronary artery disease (pCAD) characterized by accelerated plaque burden (calcified and non-calcified), high risk plaque features (HRP) and ischemic recurrence. Our aims were to describe EAT volume and density in pCAD compared to asymptomatic individuals matched on CV risk factors and to study their relationship with coronary plaque severity extension and vulnerability.

Materials And Methods: 208 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were analyzed.
