Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of the effects of exenatide and insulin glargine on right and left ventricular myocardial deformation as shown by 2D-speckle-tracking echocardiograms.
Exenatide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs. The effects of GLP-1 analogs on myocardial function are controversial. ⋯ Glp-1 treatment can improve left ventricular regional and right ventricular global subclinical dysfunction. Therefore, early GLP-1 treatment may be recommended in diabetic patients with a high risk of cardiac dysfunction.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Three-Dimensional evaluation of the effect of platelet-rich fibrin on edema in lower impacted third molar surgery performed with piezosurgery.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are widely used in impacted lower third molar (IL3M) 7 surgery and its effect on postoperative edema was generally analysed with linear methods. ⋯ Although PRF reduces edema after IL3M tooth extraction and 3dMD is effective in its evaluation, it has no statistical advantage over classical methods.
