Association of dietary and plasma fatty acids with periodontitis: Results from the 2009-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and Mendelian randomization study.

Background: The authors aimed to explore the association of fatty acids with periodontitis and its severity and to assess causality using Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.

Methods: Data for participants with complete data were extracted from the 2009-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Weighted logistic regression was used to explore the relationship between dietary fatty acids and periodontitis and its severity.

Comparing combined paravaginal repair with pubocervical fascia plication versus standard anterior colporrhaphy for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women with anterior vaginal wall prolapse: a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is prevalent among women, often occurring alongside anterior vaginal wall prolapse. This study compares the efficacy and safety of an improved vaginal wall repair technique with pubocervical fascia fixation versus standard anterior colporrhaphy for treating SUI in women with anterior vaginal wall prolapse.

Methods: A single-centre, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial was conducted between September 2021 and June 2024.

Polarization dependent exciton-plasmon coupling in PEAPbI/Al and its application to perovskite solar cell.

This paper reports the strong coupling between Al nanostructure and two-dimensional (2D) layered perovskite PEAPbI (PEPI) films. The high exciton binding energy of 118 meV and long carrier lifetime of 216 ps are characterized from the 2D PEAPbI film, which indicates that the excitons in perovskite are robust and can couple to metal plasmons. The ordinary and extraordinary optical dispersions are revealed from the anisotropic 2D perovskite.

[Application of Artificial Intelligence in Sperm Quality Analysis and Sperm Screening].

Infertility is a global health issue, and more and more people are hoping to have babies by means of assisted reproductive technology. However, there are still many challenges in fertilization and pregnancy outcomes. Sperm quality is a key factor affecting the success rate of assisted reproduction.
