Safety in Dermatologic Procedures: Vascular Occlusion by Filling Materials
This article discusses how to prevent ischemic complications and what steps to take should a dermatologic emergency develop. A thorough understanding of facial anatomy is important. Preferred procedural techniques involve the use of cannulas and retrograde injection. When ischemia is detected in the skin, hyaluronidase should be injected, preferably through a cannula. If ocular ischemia occurs, the patient should be transferred to a hospital with stroke code activation.PMID:33984311 | DOI:10.1016/j.ad.2021.04.007

The Spectrum of Maculopathy in Mitochondrial DNA A3243G Mutation: A Case Series of Six Patients
CONCLUSIONS: A single mtDNA point mutation at locus 3243 can result in a variety of clinical presentations (MELAS, MIDD, or CPEO). Ocular involvement may manifest as a perimacular/peripapillary RPE atrophy/deposit, which can variably impact central visual function (from asymptomatic to legal blindness). The discovery of such a maculopathy should prompt the ophthalmologist to complete the personal and family history, namely, asking for the presence of diabetes mellitus and/or deafness.PMID:33930928 | DOI:10.1055/a-1386-5826

Prevalence of periapical abscesses in patients with hypertension: a cross-sectional study of a large hospital population.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is common and remains one of the most significant causes of mortality worldwide. It is the prime global burden of cardiovascular disease and its prevalence is estimated to increase substantially by the year 2025 (1). Elevated blood pressure is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease and its complications, heart failure, stroke, renal insufficiency, and blindness in diabetic patients. Global burden of disease studies estimated that hypertension is now the leading risk factor for disability and altered quality of life worldwide (2-3).

Sexual hormones and diabetes: The impact of estradiol in pancreatic β cell
Int Rev Cell Mol Biol. 2021;359:81-138. doi: 10.1016/bs.ircmb.2021.02.004. Epub 2021 Mar 16.ABSTRACTDiabetes is one of the most prevalent metabolic diseases and its incidence is increasing throughout the world. Data from World Health Organization (WHO) point-out that diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation and estimated 1.6 million deaths were directly caused by it in 2016. Population studies show that the incidence of this disease increases in women after menopause, when the production of estrogen is decreasing in them. Knowing the impact that estrogenic sign...
