Gingival recessions constitute a common problem in the adult population worldwide. In the United States the prevalence of ≥1 mm recession in persons >30 years was 58%, representing over 60 million adults while in a French cohort aged 30-65 years old 84.6% had at least one gingival recession. In two
The first-in-human Phase I study component will evaluate two dose levels of RAPA-501-ALLO off the shelf cells in patients with post-intubation, stage 3 COVID-19 disease, with key endpoints of safety, biologic and potential disease-modifying effects. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent a major public health challenge and the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The elucidation of CVD pathogenesis, as well as the identification of efficient strategies for their prevention and treatment, have been the subject of intense research in recent
This will be a cross-sectional cohort study of participants who will undergo a detailed cardiovascular imaging evaluation and blood draw once they have recuperated from a prior index-hospitalization at Clements University Hospital or Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas, USA for COVID-19 and
Sepsis is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and a major cause of death. Patients with SA-AKI have a high mortality and morbidity and are at risk of developing chronic kidney disease. AP is a homodimeric endogenous enzyme present in many cells and organs, e.g., intestines, placenta,
Mitochondria are essential for a wide range of functions in almost every cell in our body. Best known for their role in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, mitochondria are also closely involved in a wide variety of cell functions such as calcium buffering, redox regulation, apoptosis and
The term "mucositis" was introduced to describe inflammation of the oral mucosa induced by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. At present, oral mucositis is considered to be the most serious non-hematological complication of cancer treatment.
Numerous predisposing factors
Articular cartilage, similarly to bone tissue, has a high sensitivity to physical stimuli and it has been shown that these are able to significantly modify the cartilage metabolism. There are several methods for applying a physical stimulus to articular cartilage: direct current, pulsed
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) degeneration that begins as a night vision loss, resulting in narrowing of the visual field and legal blindness. RP is a heterogeneous genetic disorder, affecting 1/3000- 8000 people worldwide. RP is the
Creatine and caffeine are among the most popular ergogenic aids used by exercising individuals. Creatine supplementation during resistance training has been shown to increase muscle mass and muscle performance (i.e. strength, endurance), possibly by influencing high-energy phosphate metabolism,
INTRODUCTION Hypertension is common with a prevalence of approximately one third of the adult Swedish population and similar figures reported world wide. It is associated to cardiac structural- and functional changes as well as vascular dysfunction which all can be delayed or reversed by appropriate

Study protocol Objective Abnormal platelet function remains one of the main causes of severe bleeding during cardiac surgery, especially in the era of widespread evolution in antiplatelet therapy as standard of care in cardiac surgery patients.
The treatment of stable CAD is largely based on a paradigm that gives epicardial coronary stenoses a central role in the generation of myocardial ischaemia. However, coronary microcirculatory dysfunction (CMD) is a major and frequently ignored cause of ischaemia that, according to retrospective
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) consists of cycles of forearm or leg ischemia and reperfusion by the inflation of a blood-pressure cuff over the systemic blood pressure for brief periods. The procedure is simple, safe and with no clear side effects. In clinical studies covering acute
