Lipedema: Progress, Challenges, and the Road Ahead
ABSTRACT Introduction Lipedema is a chronic and progressive disease that predominantly affects women, characterized by a disproportionate increase in subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT), particularly in the lower limbs. It is associated with significant physical disability, chronic pain, thromboembolism, and psychosocial distress.

Exploring Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts in OSCC and OPMDs: Microenvironment Insights. Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Introduction The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). Despite progress, the mechanisms behind the TME‐epithelial cell interaction remain unclear.

Abstract Orthotopic allograft transplantation (OAT) is a significant approach to addressing organ failure. However, persistent immune responses to the allograft affect chronic rejection, which induces OAT vasculopathy (OATV) and organ failure. Porphyromonas gingivalis can infiltrate remote organs via the bloodstream, thereby intensifying the severity ...

Coronary Spasm Due to Pulsed Field Ablation: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review
ABSTRACT With the ever‐growing population of patients undergoing cardiac ablation with pulsed electric fields, there is a need to understand secondary effects from the therapy. Coronary artery spasm is one such effect that has recently emerged as the subject of further investigation in electrophysiology literature.
