The sample consisted 128 Romanian (67 females, 61 males) who sought orthodontic treatment. These are an essential diagnostic tool for order treat them. Methods: Lateral OPGs were each patient, tracing was performed using WebCeph program....

Toxoplasma gondii (TG), a zoonotic protozoan parasite, belongs to group of TORCH infectious agents, which can cause severe damage the fetus if primary infection occurs during pregnancy. After infection, TG rests lifelong in human organisms causing latent infection. Most studies have analyzed consequences acute, but not latent, This study impact toxoplasmosis on spontaneous abortion history, pregnancy complication rate and neonatal outcome.IgG IgM anti-TG antibodies were tested 806 pregnant...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV), a DNA virus that belongs to the Orthoherpesviridae family, infects 40–100% of people. Primary/non-primary CMV infection during pregnancy could cause fetal disabilities. After primary infection, causes latent and resides in cells myeloid compartment (CD34+, monocytes). Few studies have analyzed impact infections on miscarriage history, complications, neonatal outcomes. Methods: Serum samples from 806 pregnant women (28.29 ± 4.50 years old) who came for consultation at...

Cervicofacial odontogenic infections can have an aggressive evolution with life-threatening complications. Management in many cases be a challenge for clinicians, implying extra focus on individual inflammatory parameters. The aim of this study is to evaluate the markers included diagnosed cervicofacial phlegmon at moment hospitalization and after receiving surgical pharmaceutical treatment.A total 39 patients phlegmons that were admitted Maxillofacial Surgery Department Emergency Hospital...

Background and Objectives: Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is intricately linked with dysregulation of lipid metabolism. In particular, cholesterol plays a crucial role in HCV replication. Direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) therapy has revolutionized the treatment landscape, achieving high rates sustained virological response (SVR). However, viral clearance comes some alterations lipid-related markers. This prospective study aimed to evaluate impact on homeostasis non-invasive...

The main mechanism of the formation granulation tissue is progression an infection from tooth to periapical bone. At this level, immune system tries localize and annihilate microorganism's injury. Ki-67 a protein directly associated with cell proliferation rate, while CD34 biomarker involved in angiogenesis, studies suggest that they both have positive correlation intensity local inflammatory infiltrate. This study will determine immunoexpression granulomas assess their impact on growth...

Persistent pulmonary impairment post-COVID-19 has been reported, albeit variably. This single-center observational study aims to longitudinally evaluate function in 140 COVID-19 survivors one year after recovery, assessing associations with disease severity and pre-existing lung conditions. Participants aged 18 older, confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, were evaluated using spirometry Diffusion Capacity of Lungs for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) tests. Pulmonary parameters like Forced Expiratory Volume...

Anesthetic techniques play an important role in the outcome of therapeutic procedures dentistry. Although inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) anesthesia is currently most often used, there are situations that imply need alternative technique to overcome potential risks and complications. The aim study was evaluate efficacy retromolar triangle achieving desired block, while evaluating duration for included cases. Methods: present prospective 50 subjects had indication molar extraction....

Background and Objectives: Diminutive polyps present a unique challenge in colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention strategies. This study aims to assess the characteristics variables of diminutive Romanian cohort, intending develop combined resect-and-retrieve or resect-and-discard strategy that reduces need for an optical diagnosis. Materials Methods: A prospective cohort was conducted at two endoscopy centers Romania from July December 2021. Adult patients undergoing colonoscopies where were...

The primary objective was to determine the epidemiologic influence of AKI awareness among physicians in a mixt paediatric population, including neonates. This single-centre, multiyear, observational retrospective study included all admitted patients between first July 2014 and 31 December 2021. identified 2194 out 128,036 hospital admissions with 129,936 serum creatinine measurements. Matching comparisons were used aware non-aware patients. overall incidence 1.65%. Stage 1 24.24% cases,...

Background and Objectives: The rate of head neck cancer (HNC) is expected to increase by 30% 2030. However, there are many similarities between the symptomatology a benign malign diagnosis; thus, protocol for conducting full examination high importance since absence adenopathy does not exclude malignant diagnosis also favorable prognosis. Material methods: current study presents retrospective on 515 adult patients who underwent biopsy possible tumor pathology. Results: identified with were...

COVID-19 continues to impact global health systems even after being declared over, with some patients exhibiting severe complications linked pre-existing conditions. This study aimed investigate the association between comorbidities, complications, and survival outcomes among survivors in Western Romania. Our hypothesis posited that comorbidities significantly influence rates. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1948 admitted from January December 2021, 192 selected for detailed based...

(1) Background: This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the cephalometric evaluation of facial height ratio (FHR) and growth patterns. (2) Methods: We assessed ratios, Y-axis SN angle, patterns in 94 participants from Timis county using digital cephalograms. Participants were categorized based on Angle’s classification. Cephalograms digitally traced analyzed WebCeph imaging software. Statistical analysis was conducted Python version 3.11.9. (3) Results: Significant correlations...
