The disease is marked by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, being associated in many cases with chronic pain and infertility. The current recommendations of international professional societies underline the need for laparoscopy, eventually followed by histological verification, as the gold standard for diagnosis. However, many societies recommend the initiation of specific treatment before obtaining a definitive surgical diagnosis. Various national and international societies have released guidelines for endometriosis assessment based on biomarkers; however, none of these recommendations proved to be clinically useful or able to replace diagnostic laparoscopy. In recent years it was demonstrated that oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants that is directly linked with an increased inflammatory response in the peritoneal cavity, may be involved in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. The identification of a genetic predisposition for endometriosis can identify the patients at risk and may help clinicians promptly initiate therapeutic management of their patients in order to ameliorate their prognosis.","PeriodicalId":234618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134995190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results In both cases, less common anatomical variations of the formation of sural nerve were discovered. On the male cadaver, we identified the sural nerve as a continuation of the medial sural cutaneous nerve. The lateral sural cutaneous nerve and the communicating branch of the sural nerve were both absent. On the female cadaver, we identified both the medial sural cutaneous nerve and the lateral sural cutaneous nerve.

One week after the second round of chemotherapy with azacitidine, the patient developed a fever of 39˚C. Physical examination revealed purple plaques on the skin of the head, neck, and arms associated with pain but not itching. Initially, the plaques appeared at the site of the subcutaneous azacitidine injection (left upper extremity) and then began to spread. The infectious diseases consultation established the diagnosis of multiple abscesses. Antibiotic therapy was initiated with meropenemum and linezolidum, and later colistin was associated, but the skin lesions and the patient’s condition worsened.

Material and Methods This cross-sectional study included 92 patients admitted to the Cardiology Department of Mureș County Emergency Hospital with myocardial infarction, divided into two groups: 46 patients with COVID-19 and 46 patients without COVID-19. Demographic data, risk factors, non-communicable diseases, and laboratory findings were studied and compared. Results The mean age of the patients was 65 years, and the majority were male. The identified risk factors were hypertension, body mass index >25 kg/m2, and dyslipidemia. The risk factors for poor prognosis were leukocyte count, higher neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, higher monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, and higher high sensitivity troponin I levels. Left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly lower in patients with COVID-19. Conclusions COVID-19 is an aggravating factor of acute myocardial infarction.

In developing countries, it is the most common subtype of cancer and the third leading cause of cancer mortality among women. Artificial intelligence has the potential to be of real use in the prevention and prompt diagnosis of cervical cancer. The aim of our study was to develop a medical platform consisting of an automated observation sheet containing colposcopy data, a software that would use a machine learning module based on clinical and image data for diagnosis and treatment, and a telemedicine module to enable collaboration between gynecologists. Materials and methods Clinical and colposcopy image data from 136 patients were introduced into a machine learning module designed to generate an algorithm for proposing a preliminary diagnosis and treatment. The clinical and imaging data were corroborated to generate six options: ‘Follow-up’, ‘Pharmacotherapy’, ‘Biopsy’, ‘Curettage’, ‘DTC’, and ‘Conization’. Results Data generated by the machine learning module regarding treatment options were compared with the opinion of gynecologists and yielded an accuracy of 78% for ‘Follow-up’, 81% for ‘Pharmacotherapy’, 84% for ‘Biopsy’, 90% for ‘Curettage’, 96% for ‘DTC’, and 81% for ‘Conization’.

Among the factors that can contribute to the onset of osteoporosis we can enumerate alcohol consumption, smoking, glucocorticoid therapy, or the presence of diabetes mellitus. The incidence of osteoporosis increases with age. Materials and Methods A total of 183 women over the age of 50, with a mean age of 67.9 ± 7.74 years, were studied to visualize spinal column alterations. From this cohort, 103 patients underwent bone mineral density testing using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and dorsolumbar radiography, while 80 patients did not undergo DXA testing. Assessment of the degree of vertebral involvement was performed using the Genant semiquantitative method. Results The highest percentage of vertebral fractures was observed in patients aged >70 years (100%). Within the studied cohort, 28% of patients displayed multiple vertebral fractures associated with age (p = 0.01). The most common site for vertebral involvement was the dorsolumbar region (D11–L2) across all age groups (p = 0.35). No statistically significant correlation (p = 0.22) was identified between DXA values and the presence of vertebral fractures, despite a trend of increased incidence of fractures as the T-score decreased. Conclusion Within the cohort, vertebral fractures were identified both in women with normal values of bone mineral density and in those with osteoporosis. Furthermore, the severity of these vertebral fractures did not correlate with bone mineral density values, highlighting the necessity of using both osteodensitometry and spinal radio-graphs for diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":234618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134995182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of our study was to investigate whether direct contact with the resin causes decomposition of methyl methacrylate and formation of ketone bodies in the oral cavity. Material and methods The in vitro study included 12 samples of autopolymerized polymethyl methacrylate and 8 samples of thermopolymerized polymethyl methacrylate. Some of the resin samples were intentionally prepared incorrectly, with modified powder to liquid ratios or thermal regime, to be able to compare them with samples prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Some of the samples were immersed in gastric juice or alcohol for 48 h at 37 °C in a thermostatic bath to simulate the environment and temperature of the oral cavity, while others were kept at room temperature. The Legal reaction was used to identify the presence of ketone bodies in the solutions. Results The samples that were prepared incorrectly and were kept at 37 °C were the most affected. The presence of ketone bodies was demonstrated by the formation of a precipitate on the bottom of the test tube and the color change of the solution. Samples that were kept at room temperature were less affected, both from a spectrophotometric and biochemical point of view. Conclusion The quality of polymethyl methacrylate can be improved by respecting the manufacturer’s instructions and work protocols, and by avoiding substances that are considered aggressive, such as gastric juice, alcohol, and local factors in the oral cavity.","PeriodicalId":234618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135144069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similarly to fingerprints, there are no two identical hearts; consequently, in cardiology, diagnosis and treatment, either medical, interventional or surgical, must be individualized according to the specific problem of a particular patient. The aim of this proof-of-concept study was to analyze two measurement methods, the planimetric and the photogrammetric method, in the process of creating a 3D-printed model from cardiac computed tomography angiography images and to evaluate the accuracy of an aortic valve anatomical model. Material and methods Cardiac computed tomography images, obtained from 20 patients with severe aortic stenosis, underwent stereolithographic reconstruction using 3D Slicer to create digital 3D models of the aortic valves. Serial measurements of six key elements of the aortic valvular apparatus were measured on the 3D model and compared to the measurements taken on the 2D computed tomography images. Results The differences between the two measurement methods were sub-millimetric in case of the left ventricular outflow tract and the sinotubular junction, and 1.386 mm for the left sinus of Valsalva (p = 0.0412), 0.3476 mm for the right sinus of Valsalva (p = 0.1874), and 0.6905 mm for the non-coronary Valsalva sinuses (p = 0.1353). Sinus heights were also similar, with a difference of 0.0119 mm (p = 0.6521). Conclusion In this study, the results of digital photogrammetry were superimposable to those of computed tomography scan measurements. The accuracy of each 3D-printed model depends on geometric complexity, the level of training of the personnel, and on the resources of each 3D printing laboratory.","PeriodicalId":234618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135144840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
