Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate role of Pi10 as a clinically relevant biomarker of smoking-related airway injury in patients with Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema (CPFE) in CT according to cumulative cigarette smoking. 1.2. Material and Methods: We retrospectively assessed 54 CPFE patients and 18 healthy non-smokers (control) […]

1. Introduction Hypophosphatasia is a rare genetic metabolic disease caused by mutations of the ALPL gene, which encodes the tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). The most important HPP’s biochemical marker are a low activity of the serum ALP, high urine PEA and serum pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) [1]. The HPP onset can occur at any age

1. Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has now become a major public health concern throughout the world. Although symptoms in majority of patients are due to involvement of respiratory system, it is not unusual for other organ systems to be involved too.

1. Abstract 1.1. Aims: Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) of the breast in association with severe atypical hyperplasia is exceedingly rare, and supports the opinion that breast PA is not always benign. We report a case of breast PA with severe atypical hyperplasia of squamous epithelium and discuss its histological origin, morphological characteristics, and biological behavior. Methods

1. Abstract Currently there is no established treatment protocol for SARS-2 (CoVid-19). Proponents of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) argue that early intervention may sufficiently prevent replication of the virus and avoid the need for hospitalization. In instances where viral replication continues and the patient develops CoViD pneumonia (CVP), such patients – particularly with comorbidities – are prone

1. Abstract Computer-assisted implant planning has now become a major diagnostic and therapeutic resource in contemporary dentistry. Stereolithographic surgical guides can be manufactured using the com- puter treatment plan allowing the clinician to place the implants as precisely as in the virtual sur- gical plan. Zirconia implants are a promising alternative to titanium with a
