“…Additionally, keeping skin clean and dry, frequent repositioning, protecting bony prominences in contact with the rest surfaces and optimizing fluid and nutrition intake can minimize the chances of PU formation. 39 Unfortunately, development of PU may be unavoidable when nutritional status is poor or when around the clock comprehensive care is not available. Having a high index of suspicion for PU in the immobile person coupled with regular skin inspection, facilitates prompt recognition of PU.…”

Advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) often brings a set of motor and non-motor features that are particularly challenging to manage. Medication options can be limited by side-effects and quality of life can be severely affected by an accumulating burden of nonmotor symptoms. Here, we reviewed the literature and our clinical experience with the aim of providing a practical approach to the management of advanced PD. We provide guidelines for treatment of physical and neurobehavioral concerns, that occur in advanced PD.

“…In bone regeneration processes, they are essential for promoting cell proliferation and new angiogenesis. 3 4 The most significant growth factors are platelet-derived growth factor, VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), TGF (transforming growth factor), epidermal growth factor, and insulin growth factor-1 (similar growth factor insulin 1). 5 6 The first type growth factors are PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRGF (plasma-rich in growth factors).…”

This clinical case report's objective was to describe an alternative technique executed to ensure bone regeneration after removing a cystic lesion in the upper jaw. The bone defect after the cystectomy was filled with autologous fibrin-rich clots containing concentrated growth factor (CGF). A 45-year-old female patient was presumed to have a cystic lesion with massive bone destruction on the vestibular and palatal walls between teeth 2.2 and 2.3. CGF was applied to fill the gap to promote the development of the bone. The tooth was asymptomatic and repair was still increasing steadily after a year, according to the results of the clinical and radiological follow-up assessment. This article describes a different way to treat a two-wall defect involving both the palatal and buccal bone, after removing a cystic lesion, with the use of CGF as an equivalent to the traditional use of autologous or heterologous bone. A promising substance for bone repair is CGF fibrin, which may encourage the growth of new bone in jaw deformities and promote bone tissue healing.
