CRISPR-Based Genome Editing in Contemporary Clinical Medicine: Therapeutic Translation, Global Challenges and the Future of Precision Medicine
type: item
description: CRISPR-based genome editing has transformed the therapeutic possibilities of genomic medicine by enabling programmable modification of disease-associated genes and regulatory pathways. This review analyzed the evolution, current clinical applications, emerging therapeutic strategies, safety limitations, ethical challenges, and future perspectives of CRISPR-based technologies within an international framework that incorporates Latin America. An integrative literature review was conducted using scientific evidence published between 2012 and July 2026, with emphasis on peer-reviewed studies indexed in major biomedical databases and relevant international and regulatory documents. The evidence showed a rapid progression from foundational CRISPR-Cas9 research toward base editing, prime editing, ex vivo cellular modification, and direct in vivo genome editing. Clinical translation was most advanced in hematology, particularly in sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia, where genome-edited autologous hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells have demonstrated clinically meaningful therapeutic outcomes. Applications in oncology and hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis further demonstrated the feasibility of engineered immune cells and systemic in vivo genome editing. However, broader clinical implementation remains limited by delivery and tissue targeting, off-target and unintended on-target modifications, immunogenicity, manufacturing complexity, long-term safety, regulatory requirements, and accessibility. The international analysis identified heterogeneous capacity for clinical implementation, emphasizing the need to strengthen genomic infrastructure, population representation, professional training, regulatory preparedness, and research participation in Latin America. CRISPR has therefore progressed from an experimental genome-engineering technology to a clinically relevant therapeutic platform, although its future impact will depend on the ability to …

Advances in Biological Augmentation for Muscle and Tendon Repair: Regenerative and Reconstructive Approaches in Elite Sports Medicine
type: item
description: Muscle and tendon injuries remain among the most common causes of functional impairment and time-loss in elite athletes, representing a significant challenge for reconstructive surgery, sports medicine, and rehabilitation. Conventional treatment approaches frequently restore anatomical continuity but may not completely reproduce the biological and biomechanical properties of healthy tissue, increasing the risk of delayed recovery and recurrent injury. In recent years, biological augmentation has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance tissue regeneration through modulation of inflammation, stimulation of angiogenesis, promotion of extracellular matrix remodeling, and improvement of collagen organization. This narrative review critically examined current scientific evidence regarding the biological basis, clinical applications, and therapeutic potential of platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate concentrate, mesenchymal stromal cells, extracellular vesicles, exosomes, biomaterials, and tissue-engineered constructs for the management of muscle and tendon injuries in elite athletes. Current evidence suggests that platelet-rich plasma remains the most extensively investigated biological intervention, whereas cell-based therapies, biomaterials, and exosome-derived approaches continue to demonstrate considerable regenerative potential despite requiring further clinical validation. The findings also emphasize that successful recovery depends not only on biological augmentation but also on accurate diagnosis, individualized patient selection, technically sound reconstructive procedures, structured rehabilitation, progressive mechanical loading, and multidisciplinary clinical management. Although regenerative medicine continues to evolve rapidly, methodological heterogeneity among available studies highlights the need for standardized treatment protocols and large multicenter clinical investigations. Overall, biological augmentation represents a valuable adjunct to con…

Advances in Supermicrosurgery and Physiological Lymphatic Reconstruction: Contemporary Strategies for the Comprehensive Management of Lymphedema
type: item
description: Lymphedema is a chronic and progressive disorder resulting from impaired lymphatic transport, leading to fluid accumulation, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and progressive functional impairment. Recent advances in reconstructive surgery have shifted therapeutic strategies from symptom control toward physiological restoration of lymphatic drainage through supermicrosurgical techniques. This review analyzes the current scientific evidence regarding supermicrosurgery and lymphatic reconstruction, emphasizing lymphaticovenous anastomosis, vascularized lymph node transfer, immediate lymphatic reconstruction, advanced diagnostic imaging, and emerging regenerative medicine approaches. Contemporary literature demonstrates that individualized patient selection, supported by indocyanine green lymphography and other imaging modalities, is fundamental for optimizing surgical outcomes. Physiological reconstruction has been associated with reductions in limb volume, lower incidence of cellulitis, improved functional recovery, decreased dependence on compression therapy, and better quality of life when integrated into multidisciplinary care. Emerging technologies, including tissue engineering, therapeutic lymphangiogenesis, artificial intelligence, and image-guided surgery, are expanding future therapeutic possibilities while promoting increasingly personalized treatment strategies. Although current evidence supports the effectiveness of physiological lymphatic reconstruction, further multicenter prospective studies with standardized methodologies are required to strengthen clinical recommendations and improve the global implementation of these techniques. Overall, supermicrosurgery represents a major milestone in modern reconstructive surgery and continues to redefine the management of primary and secondary lymphedema through innovation, technological development, and international multidisciplinary collaboration.

type: item
description: Fragility fractures have become one of the most significant health challenges associated with global population aging, generating substantial consequences for functional independence, healthcare systems, and quality of life. This review aimed to analyze the current scientific evidence regarding the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, modern orthogeriatric management, and functional recovery of older adults sustaining fragility fractures. A structured literature review was conducted using international scientific databases and evidence-based clinical guidelines published by recognized organizations. The available evidence demonstrates that fragility fractures are multifactorial conditions resulting from the interaction of osteoporosis, sarcopenia, frailty syndrome, multimorbidity, nutritional deficits, and age-related physiological decline. Contemporary orthogeriatric care, based on multidisciplinary collaboration, Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, timely surgical management, individualized rehabilitation, nutritional optimization, osteoporosis treatment, and secondary fracture prevention, consistently improves mobility, functional independence, postoperative outcomes, and long-term quality of life. Early rehabilitation and coordinated follow-up through structured fracture prevention programs were also associated with lower complication rates and reduced risk of recurrent fractures. Furthermore, the findings emphasize the growing importance of integrating orthopedic surgery, geriatrics, rehabilitation medicine, nutrition, and preventive care into patient-centered management strategies. As demographic aging continues to accelerate worldwide, particularly in Latin America, strengthening orthogeriatric services and implementing evidence-based multidisciplinary models represent essential strategies for preserving autonomy, reducing disability, and improving long-term clinical outcomes among older adults with fragility fractures.

Optimizing Surgical Outcomes Through Multimodal Prehabilitation: The Role of Nutrition, Exercise, and Functional Conditioning Before Major Abdominal Surgery
type: item
description: Major abdominal surgery remains associated with substantial postoperative morbidity, functional deterioration, and prolonged recovery despite advances in surgical techniques, anesthesia, and perioperative care. Multimodal prehabilitation has emerged as a strategy aimed at increasing physiological reserve before surgery through the integration of nutritional optimization, structured exercise, functional conditioning, psychological preparation, and modification of perioperative risk factors. This review analyzed current international evidence regarding the role of prehabilitation in adult patients undergoing elective major abdominal surgery, with particular emphasis on nutrition, exercise, functional capacity, postoperative complications, and recovery. Evidence from systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized clinical trials, clinical guidelines, and international consensus documents indicates that structured exercise and nutritional optimization constitute the most consistently incorporated components of prehabilitation programs. Exercise-based and multimodal interventions were associated with improvements in preoperative functional capacity, while comprehensive programs showed favorable trends in postoperative morbidity, hospital length of stay, and functional recovery. High adherence, professional supervision, early nutritional intervention, individualized risk assessment, and integration with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery pathways were identified as important factors associated with successful implementation. Patients with frailty, sarcopenia, malnutrition, or reduced cardiopulmonary reserve may represent populations with particular potential to benefit from individualized preoperative optimization. Nevertheless, heterogeneity in program duration, intervention intensity, patient selection, and outcome assessment continues to limit direct comparisons between studies. Current evidence supports multimodal prehabilitation as a relevant component of contemporary pe…

type: item
description: Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) has emerged as one of the most prevalent chronic liver diseases worldwide and represents a growing challenge for healthcare systems due to its close relationship with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. This review aimed to integrate current scientific evidence regarding the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical progression, diagnosis, treatment, and emerging role of precision medicine in MASLD. International scientific literature was reviewed through recognized biomedical databases, incorporating original studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical practice guidelines, and international consensus statements relevant to the disease. The evidence demonstrates a substantial global burden of MASLD, with particularly high prevalence estimates reported in Latin America and other regions experiencing rapid growth in cardiometabolic disorders. Disease progression is heterogeneous, ranging from hepatic steatosis to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, with fibrosis representing one of the most important predictors of adverse clinical outcomes. Advances in non-invasive biomarkers, serum-based fibrosis scores, transient elastography, and magnetic resonance-based techniques have improved risk stratification and reduced dependence on liver biopsy. Lifestyle modification remains fundamental to treatment, while emerging pharmacological therapies provide additional opportunities for patients with specific metabolic and hepatic profiles. The integration of clinical characteristics, metabolic phenotype, fibrosis stage, imaging findings, and biological markers supports the transition toward precision medicine. MASLD should therefore be approached as a multisystem metabolic disease requiring early identification, multidisciplinary management, comprehensive cardiometabolic control, a…

A Global Perspective on Hormonal, Dermatologic, and Metabolic Health Across the Female Lifespan
type: item
description: Women’s health has traditionally been approached from a reproductive perspective; however, growing evidence indicates that hormonal changes exert systemic effects extending beyond reproductive function. The present study analyzed hormonal, dermatologic, and metabolic interactions throughout the female lifespan using data obtained from an international population of 12,600 women representing Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Oceania. A quantitative, observational, cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical design based on the Scientific Method was employed. Data were collected through anonymous standardized questionnaires that evaluated dermatologic manifestations, metabolic alterations, hormonal changes, and the perceived impact of these conditions on overall health and well-being. The findings demonstrated a high prevalence of dermatologic alterations across all continents, a progressive increase in metabolic changes from puberty to menopause, frequent coexistence of hormonal, dermatologic, and metabolic manifestations, and a consistently high perception of the multidimensional impact of hormonal transitions. These results support the concept that endocrine regulation influences multiple physiological systems simultaneously and reinforce the need for multidisciplinary healthcare approaches that integrate endocrinology, gynecology, dermatology, nutrition, and preventive medicine. The study contributes to the growing international evidence supporting a life-course approach to women’s health beyond reproduction and highlights the importance of comprehensive strategies aimed at improving quality of life and promoting healthy aging.

Advances in Regenerative Trauma Reconstruction: Integrating Stem Cells and Bioengineered Scaffolds for Functional Tissue Restoration
type: item
description: Complex traumatic injuries remain a major cause of long-term disability worldwide, frequently affecting multiple tissues and anatomical systems simultaneously. Conventional reconstructive approaches have improved survival and anatomical restoration; however, complete functional recovery remains a significant clinical challenge. This review examines the current role of regenerative reconstruction in the management of complex trauma, with particular emphasis on stem cell-based therapies, bioengineered scaffolds, biomaterials, tissue engineering, and emerging biofabrication technologies. Scientific evidence from preclinical and clinical studies demonstrates that regenerative strategies can enhance tissue repair through mechanisms including paracrine signaling, angiogenesis, immunomodulation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and cellular differentiation. Bone regeneration emerged as the most extensively investigated application, followed by soft tissue, cartilage, peripheral nerve, skeletal muscle, and spinal cord reconstruction. Bioengineered scaffolds have shown considerable potential to support cellular survival, tissue integration, and functional recovery by recreating biologically active microenvironments. Furthermore, advances in three-dimensional bioprinting have facilitated the development of patient-specific constructs designed to improve regenerative outcomes in complex anatomical defects. Comparative analysis suggests that regenerative reconstruction offers advantages over conventional approaches in biological integration, functional restoration, and long-term adaptation, while maintaining comparable structural outcomes. Despite promising advances, challenges related to clinical translation, standardization, regulatory approval, and large-scale implementation remain significant. Overall, regenerative reconstruction represents a rapidly evolving multidisciplinary field with the potential to transform trauma care by promoting biological restoration and improvin…

Forensic Applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Traumatic Brain Injury: Metabolic and Hemodynamic Perspectives in Invisible Cerebral Damage
type: item
description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains one of the leading causes of neurological disability worldwide and represents a major challenge in forensic medicine, particularly in cases involving persistent symptoms without visible structural abnormalities on conventional neuroimaging. This study analyzed the forensic and clinical relevance of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (^1H-MRS) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the evaluation of traumatic brain injury, emphasizing their role in detecting metabolic, neuronal, and hemodynamic alterations associated with invisible cerebral damage. A qualitative and integrative analytical methodology based on contemporary scientific literature was employed to examine the diagnostic contribution of advanced spectroscopic techniques compared with conventional imaging modalities. The findings demonstrated that spectroscopic methods identified a higher frequency of abnormalities than traditional structural imaging, particularly reductions in N-acetylaspartate, altered metabolic ratios, elevated choline concentrations, lactate peaks, and cerebral oxygenation disturbances. These alterations were associated with persistent neurological manifestations including cognitive impairment, chronic headache, emotional instability, and sleep disturbances. From a forensic perspective, spectroscopy demonstrated significant relevance in causality assessment, injury severity classification, disability evaluation, and support of medico-legal expert reports. The results support the concept that traumatic brain injury should be interpreted as a multidimensional neurometabolic disorder rather than solely as a structural lesion. Although advanced spectroscopic techniques present technical and interpretative limitations, their integration into multidisciplinary forensic evaluation may strengthen diagnostic precision and improve the objective documentation of post-traumatic cerebral dysfunction.

The Skin Microbiome as a Systemic Immunological Regulator: From Dysbiosis to Clinical Applications
type: item
description: ABSTRACT The skin microbiome has emerged as a key regulator of immune function with significant implications for systemic disease. This review aims to analyze the role of cutaneous microbial communities in immune modulation and their contribution to the development, diagnosis, and treatment of systemic conditions. A structured narrative review was conducted using a scientific methodological framework, integrating evidence from dermatology, immunology, and microbiology. The findings indicate that microbial dysbiosis is consistently associated with immune imbalance, barrier dysfunction, and systemic inflammation. Key mechanisms include Toll-like receptor activation, cytokine modulation, and T-cell differentiation, which collectively influence disease progression. Additionally, the study highlights the growing relevance of the gut-skin axis as a pathway connecting local microbial changes with systemic outcomes. Diagnostic applications, particularly microbiome-based biomarkers, demonstrate potential for disease prediction and monitoring, while therapeutic strategies such as probiotics, bacteriotherapy, and antimicrobial peptides represent emerging approaches in personalized medicine. However, variability across populations and methodological heterogeneity remain significant challenges. This review underscores the importance of the skin microbiome as a central component in human health and supports its integration into future clinical and research frameworks, particularly in diverse international contexts..

Immunometabolism, colorectal surgery, insulin resistance, sarcopenia, malnutrition, gut microbiota, postoperative complications, ERAS, immunonutrition, surgical outcomes
type: item
description: Immunometabolism has emerged as a key determinant of postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing colorectal surgery, integrating metabolic regulation with immune system function during the perioperative period. Surgical stress induces complex metabolic and inflammatory responses that may become maladaptive in patients with preexisting conditions such as insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, malnutrition, or sarcopenia. These alterations significantly influence immune competence, tissue repair, and overall recovery. This review analyzes current evidence on the role of immunometabolism in shaping postoperative outcomes, focusing on metabolic status, immune response, nutritional condition, gut microbiota, and perioperative care strategies. The findings highlight that patients with metabolic dysregulation present higher rates of complications, including infections, anastomotic leakage, and prolonged hospital stay. Conversely, interventions such as Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols and immunonutrition contribute to improved outcomes by modulating metabolic and inflammatory pathways. Additionally, the gut microbiota is identified as a critical factor influencing immunometabolic balance, particularly in colorectal surgery, where intestinal integrity plays a central role. The integration of these elements supports a multidimensional and personalized approach to surgical care.
