Cardiac retransplantation is the standard treatment for patients with advanced graft vasculopathy. It remains controversial due to the scarcity of donors and poor results when compared with the novo transplant.

Weakened teeth are varied in terms of causes and effects. The most common etiology of dental tissue loss is dental caries leading to endodontic treatment.

Patient anxiety about the dental procedures is one of the most common problems in this profession. Most people avoid going to a dentist because of their fear and anxiety.

Acquired heart diseases such as myocarditis, cardiomyopathies and rheumatic heart diseases are important non-communicable diseases responsible for morbidity and mortality in children.

This paper aims to review in literature the main mechanisms of oxidative stress, pointing out the major formed metabolites, the mechanisms of cell damage and major antioxidants. Oxygen is essential to human life. The formation of free radicals (FR) is closely related to oxygen consumption, a mechanism that occurs with an incomplete reduction of this molecule.

Anthracene is the simplest tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. It has been identified in surface and drinking water, ambient air; exhaust emissions, smoke of cigarettes and cigars and in smoked foods and edible aquatic organisms. It is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of dyes.

Nutrition education interventions reduce morbidity and mortality, costs of care and play an important role in maintaining health and quality of life. The survey was conducted to assess Italian nutrition professionals’ involvement in nutrition education programs.

Noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are pathological processes characterized by the hard tissue dental loss at the cement–enamel junction (CEJ) independent of bacterial process. This tooth structure loss is routinely found and increasingly common in dentistry clinical practice. If the pathogenesis of the carious disease is known and it well codified treatment, it is not the same for non-carious pathology.

Biomechanical preparation, disinfection and obturation all together constitute equally important phases of the endodontic treatment. Root canal treatment is based on cleaning, shaping and sealing the root canal system. Its main objectives are the elimination of residual pulp tissue, infected dentine and debris and the reduction of the number of microorganism from root canal system. Many nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments have been introduced in the last years.

Fractal analysis is an objective and sensitive approach that has become very useful in the understanding of many phenomena in various fields. we review and present fractal methodologies that have been successfully applied by us in order to characterize pathological features and perform differential diagnosis of cancer and atherosclerosis-linked diseases, the most common diseases of the present day.

Hydatid cyst in the head and neck is very rare. We report the exceptional case of a 9-year-old female child presenting with a hydatid cyst in the posterior cervical region

An Egyptian male adolescent 12 years old presented with fever, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting for 3 days. He had convulsion on admission. Physical examination revealed positive meningeal signs.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common and dangerous complication following cardiac surgery.

Among bisexual MSM also called “men-on-the-down-low”, sexuality driven risks stimulate spectrum of vulnerabilities for both genders.

The objective of this research was to determine the effect of the administration of meloxicam to newborn dairy calves on physiological and behavioral measures of calf vigor, as well as future health, milk intake and growth. A total of 284 Holstein heifer and bull calves were enrolled at birth from two dairy farms to participate in this randomized double-blind clinical field trial.

Obesity is well associated in various chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis. Thus, for persons with obesity and diabetes, food with low GI are recommended in order to lower the glycemic response.

The Special K Challenge is a short term (14 day) partial meal replacement diet designed to reduce body mass and motivate long term reduction in body mass.

Mycobacterium chelonae is a fast growing mycobacteria that mainly causes localized cutaneous infections. Disseminated cutaneous infections are quite exclusively seen in immunosuppressed individuals. We present a case of disseminated cutaneous infection in a young diabetic patient.

The use of bio-perfusion as active method of energo-modulation and suspension of PICS expansion, which depends on the elimination of hypo(an)ergic mitochondria performed through a lysosomal clearance (mitophagy) so as to maintain the eu-ergic mitochondria which are able to contribute to the formation of cell energy, and ultimately, to the whole body as macroergic system.

The successful use of zirconia ceramics for the fabrication of tooth-supported restorations has encouraged clinicians to extend its application for implant-supported restorations. CAD/CAM technology in combination with zirconia ceramic has increasingly gained popularity in implant dentistry. Zirconia implants were introduced into dental implantology as an alternative to titanium implants. Zirconia seems to be a suitable implant material because of its opacity, mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and low plaque affinity.
