Vitamin D Deficiency as a Debatable Modulator of Outcomes in Transfusion-Dependent Thalassemia; An Overview of the Latest Findings: A Narrative Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is highly prevalent in transfusion‐dependent thalassemia (TDT), yet its clinical implications beyond bone health remain controversial. This review explores the risk factors and clinical outcomes of VDD in TDT, with particular focus on its potential roles in cardiac iron deposition, osteoporosis ...

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...
