Novel index for the evaluation of wound healing following erupted tooth extraction.
Minerva Dent Oral Sci

Department of Surgical, Medical, Molecular and Critical Area Pathology, University Hospital of Pisa, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy.
Background: Understanding healing of the alveolar process is crucial for immediate implant, alveolar ridge preservation and guided bone regeneration procedures, and to evaluate it several different scales have been proposed; however, all have different characteristics and seem to miss a standardization allowing for an objective and dichotomous evaluation of the different aspects of wound healing. The objective of the present study is to propose and apply, in real clinical scenarios, a novel index for the objective evaluation of wound healing following erupted tooth extraction.
Methods: Healthy patients in need of a single tooth extraction were enrolled and re-examined at 7, 14 and 21 days after the extraction using the novel index proposed.
Hydroxytyrosol, a Component of Olive Oil for Breast Cancer Prevention in Women at High Risk of Cancer.
Int J Breast Cancer
January 2025
Department of Hematology and Oncology, Houston Methodist Dr Mary and Ron Neal Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, USA.
This study evaluates the effects of hydroxytyrosol (HT), a component of olive oil, on mammographic breast density reduction. We explored effects of HT on Wnt -catenin and other pathways involved in cancer stem cell renewal, DNA repair, cell proliferation, and differentiation. Twenty-five milligrams per day oral dose of HT was given for 12 months in pre- and postmenopausal women at increased risk of breast cancer.

A 53-year-old woman undergoing combination therapy with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitors for advanced lung cancer with brain metastases developed pustules and punctate purpura on both lower extremities. Histopathological examination revealed neutrophilic infiltration around the hair follicles and erythrocyte extravasation in the perivascular regions near the hair roots, leading to a diagnosis of purpuric papulopustular eruptions. The rash improved with oral doxycycline (100 mg/day) and topical corticosteroids.

Orthopedic Surgery, King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, SAU.
Ankle fractures, often accompanied by other injuries and complications, pose a significant healthcare burden due to their high incidence and associated treatment challenges. This case report investigates the use of Cytal™ Wound Matrix, derived from urinary bladder matrix (UBM), in managing postoperative complications following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of a trimalleolar ankle fracture. A 57-year-old male with a history of hypertension sustained a trimalleolar ankle fracture following a road traffic accident.

Department of Oral Biology, University Clinic of Dentistry, Medical University of Vienna, Sensengasse 2a, 1090, Vienna, Austria.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and Enamel Matrix Derivatives (EMD) can support the local regenerative events in periodontal defects. There is reason to suggest that PRF and EMD exert part of their activity by targeting the blood-derived cells accumulating in the early wound healing blastema. However, the impact of PRF and EMD on blood cell response remains to be discovered.
