Abstract
The article presents multiple medical studies focusing on surgical outcomes, treatment interventions, and patient quality of life in different clinical contexts. One study evaluates the surgical reduction of orbitozygomatic fractures, demonstrating significant restoration of orbital volume and shape postoperatively, which is important for correcting enophthalmos. Another study assesses the use of Nanofat grafting, rich in adipose-derived stem cells, for healing chronic traumatic ulcers, comparing treated and untreated patient groups. A retrospective cohort study investigates medication errors among isolated COVID-19 patients in an Egyptian hospital, finding a high incidence primarily related to dosing, drug needs, and monitoring, with anticoagulants and antibiotics most commonly involved. Additionally, a cross-sectional study examines health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in COVID-19 patients discharged from isolation hospitals, identifying physical functioning as the most affected domain and noting associations with age, gender, comorbidities, hospital stay length, and ICU admission. Lastly, research on elderly hospitalized patients uses the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) to correlate nutritional risk with anthropometric and laboratory markers, hospital length of stay, and mortality, revealing that higher nutritional risk is linked to longer hospitalization and increased mortality.
