The Interplay Between Hyperglycemia, Endothelial Dysfunction, and Cardiovascular Risk in the Context of COVID-19: Implications for Long-term Health
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the potential impact of hyperglycemia, especially its link to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and endothelial dysfunction. COVID-19 can cause systemic inflammation and endothelial damage, worsening complications related to hyperglycemia. Persistent inflammation and endothelial dysfunction are crucial elements in the progression of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. The long-term health effects of COVID-19, known as “Long COVID” or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), have raised concerns …

Role of ABCDE Rule in Wound Assessment
Abstract: The diagnosis of chronic wounds poses an interdisciplinary and interprofessional challenge. In routine clinical practice, the appropriate diagnostic workup is frequently carried out insufficiently. In addition to financial obstacles, those involved in the process often lack the required knowledge, a circumstance that must be overcome. Today, the treatment of patients with chronic wounds is thus, commonly, merely symptomatic and frequently not accompanied by determination of the exact cause. The ABCDE …

Review of Atorvastatin As A Potent Drug For Cardio-Vascular Disease(CVD)
Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly atherosclerosis, remains the leading cause of death worldwide, significantly burdening public health, especially in Western societies. Metabolic syndrome and arrhythmic complications further exacerbate cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Among restorative specialists, statins particularly atorvastatin have gotten to central in both the essential and auxiliary anticipation of coronary heart infection (CHD) due to their strong lipid-lowering properties and additional pleiotropic impacts. Atorvastatin, a selective HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, not …
