This study tried to understand the impact that hypertension, coronary heart diseases and diabetes can have on the intensity of coronavirus within the human body. This study was conducted using a systematic review process where secondary data have been collected from 10 previously published research papers. Most of the individuals contracting COVID-19 are also suffering from diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and hypertension. The studies used to carry out this systematic review have exhibited a pattern that indicates a strong correlation. That being said, because of the possibility of extraneous variables, most of the studies at this point have significant drawbacks. Many of such variables for example, smoking behavior or level of fitness have not been considered while selecting sample for most of the studies. Therefore, more highly targeted studies need to be carried out for understanding this disease and the long- and short-term impact it can have.

Purpose Of The Review: Τhe association between nocturnal blood pressure (BP) and alterations in the retinal microvasculature remains understudied, with few available studies to provide conflicting results. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine whether an association exists between retinal microvascular alterations and nocturnal BP patterns, determined by 24h ambulatory BP measurement.
Recent Findings: Our search concluded to 1002 patients (6 studies).

Introduction: Obesity and its complications are associated with high morbidity/mortality and a significant healthcare cost burden in Spain. It is therefore essential to know the potential clinical and economic benefits of reducing obesity. The objective of this study is to predict the decrease in rates of onset of potential complications associated with obesity and the cost savings after a weight loss of 15% over 10 years in Spain.

Objectives: Apical periodontitis (AP) is an inflammatory immune response in periapical tissues caused by microbial infections. Failure of root canal treatment or delayed healing is often due to intracanal or extra-radicular bacteria. However, beyond microbial factors, the patient's systemic health can significantly influence the progression and healing of AP.
