Searching for third molars atraumatic removal method remains a challenge in oral surgery. Method of partial removal of impacted tooth leaving a non-extracted root in the wound becomes more popular recently. Determining medical indications for this method, as well as searching for standards for its implementation is important.

Objective: The aim of the study is reducing the risks of surgical injury to the inferior alveolar nerve, by taking into account individual topographic and anatomical features, improving diagnostic methods, and techniques for removing retinated teeth with a close fit to the mandibular canal.

Material And Methods: An examination was conducted in the Department of Surgical Dentistry (CBCT/OPG) and surgical treatment of 223 patients, with a close fit of the roots of the retinated lower third molar to the mandibular canal. Microslips of teeth with roots intact during removal (=96) of the main group and the control group (=52) were prepared with a Micromet Remet manual petrographic machine.

Background: Clinical guidelines for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) recommend reducing the use of glucocorticoids (GCs) due to the high risk of associated complications.

Aim: To determine the frequency of GC cancellations and dose reductions in real clinical practice, while taking into account active RA therapy.

Materials And Methods: The study group consisted of 303 patients with RA reliable according to ACR/EULAR criteria (women 79.

We have designed and synthesized a series of bioinspired pyrano[2,3-]coumarin-based Calanolide A analogs with anti-HIV activity. The design of these new calanolide analogs involved incorporating nitrogen heterocycles or aromatic groups in lieu of ring C, effectively mimicking and preserving their bioactive properties. Three directions for the synthesis were explored: reaction of 5-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-10-propyl-2,8-pyrano[2,3-]chromen-8-one with (i) 1,2,4-triazines, (ii) sulfonylation followed by Suzuki cross-coupling with (het)aryl boronic acids, and (iii) aminomethylation by Mannich reaction.

Biofilms are matrix-encased microbial communities that increase the environmental fitness and infectivity of many human pathogens including . Biofilm matrix assembly is essential for biofilm formation and function. Known components of the biofilm matrix are the polysaccharide polysaccharide (VPS), matrix proteins RbmA, RbmC, Bap1, and extracellular DNA, but the majority of the protein composition is uncharacterized.
