Article Abstract

Heart failure (HF) and valve replacements are common conditions encountered by dental professionals. Identification and differentiation between acute versus chronic HF symptoms will be key to providing safe and effective dental care. Vasoactive agents should be used cautiously in individuals with advanced HF. People with underlying cardiac conditions that put them at an increased risk of developing infectious endocarditis require antibiotic prophylaxis before all dental procedures. Establishing and maintaining optimal oral health is necessary to minimize the risks of bacterial seeding from the oral cavity to the heart.

Introduction: The airway mucosa plays a crucial role in protection and various physiological functions. Current methods for restoring airway mucosa, such as myocutaneous flaps or split skin grafts, create a stratified squamous layer that lacks the cilia and mucus-secreting glands of the native columnar-lined airway. This study examines the application of various injectable biopolymers as active molecules for a potential approach to regenerating laryngeal epithelial tissue.

Purpose: Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a significant cause of death in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In this type of graft, the intestine is particularly affected, with the loss of intestinal barrier integrity playing a key role in its onset. In this scenario, the aim of the present research was to evaluate defibrotide, a heparin-like compound, marked for severe veno-occlusive disease, as an innovative therapeutic approach for restoring intestinal barrier integrity using an in vitro model and analyzing aGVHD patients' sera and clinical data.
