Smell and taste sensations have been linked to positive outcomes in the feeding of premature infants, though the impact on the time required to transition to oral feeding remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the beneficial effects of smell and taste interventions on clinical outcomes in preterm infants. We conducted a search in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception through September 2024 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the effects of smell and taste on clinical outcomes in preterm infants with a gestational age of less than 34 weeks.

Introduction: The protein has been observed to exhibit an association with various autoimmune conditions, including psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. Genetic experiments have revealed that changes in Zinc finger protein-coding sequences correlate with an increased vulnerability to developing autoimmune diseases, so we aimed to study investigates the involvement of rs10947540 and rs1888822 gene expression in individuals diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Methods: In a case-control study conducted from January 2022 to March 2023, 80 adults with RA from Menoufia University Hospital were compared with 80 age- and gender-matched healthy controls.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the perceptions and knowledge of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) among dental and medical students at Kuwait University, revealing that dental students have significantly greater awareness of the specialty.
- A survey was conducted with 200 students (100 dental and 100 medical) who responded to scenarios across four dental and medical disciplines, highlighting differences in understanding between the two groups.
- The results suggest the need to enhance educational content on OMFS in university curriculums and to promote awareness through campaigns in healthcare settings.
