    Abstract The aim of this scoping literature review (SCR) was to analyze the impact of dance on adults with intellectual disabilities, specifically examining its influence on their mobility, interpersonal relationships, well-being, and overall quality of life. A total of 15 papers were reviewed in order to explore the effects of dance on the well-being and quality of life of adults with intellectual disabilities. The findings indicated significant improvements in body awareness, increased engagement in physical activity, and enhanced mental health. This SCR demonstrates that dance is an effective means of facilitating social interaction among adults with intellectual disabilities, both with their therapists and family members. Additionally, the review uncovered valuable data on dance therapy programs designed for adults with intellectual disabilities, highlighting their potential to promote physical activity and reduce stress levels.

    Abstract Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a common cancer characterized by increased angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key regulator of angiogenesis and has not been extensively studied in HNSCC. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the VEGF family and its involvement in HNSCC. It discusses the significance of angiogenesis in HNSCC and the potential implications of VEGF family members, including VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D, in tumor progression and angiogenic processes. The review highlights the need for further investigation to elucidate the specific functions and therapeutic implications of the VEGF family in HNSCC, which can ultimately contribute to development of novel therapeutic strategies for this type of cancer.

    Abstract Cystic adenoid carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant epithelial tumor arising from exocrine glands and accounts for only 1% of head and neck cancers. ACCs are common in the fifth and sixth decades of life, predominantly in women, and characterized by slow progression, local aggression, recurrence, and high metastasis. Subglottotracheal ACC is a rare tumor in the pediatric population, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We present a case of a 16-year-old female who was diagnosed with ACC in the subglottic and tracheal region. The patient presented with respiratory failure but without a history of dysphonia, dyspnea, stridor, or dysphagia. The diagnosis was confirmed by a biopsy, and subsequent imaging studies showed a large tumor involving the subglottic and tracheal region. The therapeutic management of this patient has been challenging due to the rarity of this tumor in the pediatric population and the potential long-term complications associated with tumor recurrence and psychological impact. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in the management of subglottotracheal ACC in children and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to optimize patient outcomes.

    Abstract Ion Simionescu promoted and lauded the Romanian Academy, highlighting its involvement in all fields of education, culture and science, as the essence of its lofty role. More than any of his predecessors, Ion Simionescu achieved a natural, necessary and close relation between the Academy and the people it represents. Today, we refer to Ion Siomionescu as a “scholar and educator of the nation” – a mere act of pious gratitude and reverence towards the great value of a remarkable and gifted professor, who continues to watch upon and guide us.

    Abstract Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a common pathology that significantly affects the quality of life (QoL) of patients. Methods: QoL was assessed in 317 patients diagnosed with CVD who underwent surgeries, including cryostripping (n = 113), high ligation and stripping (HL&S, n = 96), and phlebectomies (n = 108). CVD symptoms and QoL were assessed before surgery and 2 weeks after surgery using the following questionnaires: CIVIQ-20, VAS, Eq-5D, PHQ-9 and GAD-9. Results. The results reveal a significant correlation (p < 0.05) between CEAP score and QoL questionnaires performed preoperatively and postoperatively in all three surgical technique groups, with a statistical improvement postoperatively. Phlebectomy had the best postoperative QoL score (r = 0.495) compared to the other two types of procedures. Conclusions: Analyzing patients’ subjective perception following conventional surgery for CVD treatment, an improved QoL is observed both in functional and psychosocial aspects, even early postoperatively. Classical surgical procedures remain an effective and feasible option in CVD treatment.

    Abstract Background: Ascites is one of the most common complications of cirrhosis, placing a significant burden on the healthcare system. Data regarding the optimal time of paracentesis and outcomes among patients with cirrhosis and ascites are scarce.
    Aim: To assess the outcomes of patients who underwent paracentesis within 12 h after admission compared to patients who underwent paracentesis later than 12 h.
    Methods: The study included 185 patients with cirrhosis and ascites who underwent paracentesis. The early paracentesis group was defined as paracentesis performed < 12 h after admission (65 patients) and the delayed paracentesis group was defined as paracentesis performed > 12 h after admission (120 patients). New-onset complications of cirrhosis, length of hospital stay, weekday or weekend admission, in-hospital mortality rate, and 90-d readmission rates were assessed and compared between the groups.
    Results: Significantly more patients in the delayed paracentesis group than in the early paracentesis group developed hepatic encephalopathy (45%
    Conclusion: Early paracentesis (within 12 h after admission) could be a new inpatient quality metric among patients hospitalized with cirrhosis and ascites as it is associated with fewer complications of cirrhosis, lower in-hospital mortality and shorter length of stay.

    Abstract Potatoes and tomatoes are the key vegetables of Romanian agriculture, due to their consumption and the large growing areas. The paper analyses import and export of potatoes and tomatoes, and import and export prices for these vegetables, while based on that the Gini coefficient was calculated. According to the value of the Gini coefficient, the concentration of potato import is relatively low, while the export concentration is considerably higher. A similar situation is with tomato, as the values of the Gini coefficient indicate low concentration related to import and relatively high concentration related to export. Association with foreign partners, farmer orientation to quality certifications, investment in infrastructure and efficient marketing are some solutions that can improve the Romanian vegetable market.
