Pravastatin Protects Against Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head via Autophagy
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Autophagy serves as a stress response and may contribute to the pathogenesis of avascular necrosis of the femoral head induced by steroids. Statins promote angiogenesis and ameliorate endothelial functions through apoptosis inhibition and necrosis of ...

Avascular necrosis as a part of ‘long COVID-19’
BMJ Case Reports, 2021 ‘Long COVID-19’ can affect different body systems. At present, avascular necrosis (AVN) as a sequalae of ‘long COVID-19’ has yet not been documented. By large-scale use of life-saving corticosteroids in COVID-19 cases, we anticipate that there will be a ...
