Perioperative Intravenous Lidocaine and Early Biochemical Outcomes After Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Clinical Study Within the Framework of Perioperative Metabolic-Inflammatory Modulation

Georgiana Maria Popa, Simona-Alina Abu-Awwad, Ahmed Abu-Awwad, Nicolae Ovidiu Pop et autres

BACKGROUND: The perioperative period in cancer surgery is characterized by transient metabolic and inflammatory perturbations that may influence early postoperative biochemical dynamics. Surgical stress induces insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, cytokine activation, and metabolic shifts that interact with tumor cell signaling pathways. Intravenous lidocaine …

Sexual Dimorphism and Age-Related Structural Changes in the Human Larynx: A Morphometric Study with Histological Correlates Relevant to Voice and Diagnostic Assessment

Alina Elisabeta Anglitoiu, Ahmed Abu-Awwad, Bogdan Anglitoiu, Daniela Gurgus et autres

Background/Objectives: The human larynx exhibits marked sexual dimorphism and undergoes age-related structural remodeling, both of which influence voice characteristics and have important implications for diagnostic assessment. While sex-related differences in laryngeal size are well recognized, the extent to which aging contributes to …

Systemic Anti-Inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Effects of Intravenous Lidocaine During Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Prospective Observational Study

Georgiana Maria Popa, Simona-Alina Abu-Awwad, Ahmed Abu-Awwad, Carmen Ioana Marta et autres

Background and Objectives: Surgical stress during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) elicits a measurable systemic inflammatory response despite the minimally invasive approach. Intravenous lidocaine has been increasingly investigated for its potential anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immunomodulatory benefits, but evidence in robotic urologic oncology remains …

Analogies Between Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Hyaluronic Acid Intra-articular Injections in the Treatment of Advanced Knee Arthritis: A Single-Center Study

Ahmed Abu-Awwad, Cristina Tudoran, Simona-Alina Abu-Awwad, Mariana Tudoran et autres

Background Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), a degenerative joint disease, is a common cause of chronic knee pain and disability in adults. Conservative management options are the first-line approach, but intra-articular injections, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid (HA), are considered for …

Comparative Study OCT versus MRI T2 in Diagnosis of Degenerative Cartilage Lesions

Cosmin Ioan Faur, Ahmed Abu-Awwad, Mariana Tudoran, Ana Maria Ungureanu et autres

Abstract BackgroundWhen diagnosed early, degenerative cartilage lesions are reversible if the appropriate therapeutical measures are applied. Currently available diagnostic methods (radiography, MRI and arthroscopic examination) do not provide the accuracy needed in the early diagnosis of these lesions.MethodsThe aim of the study …
