Incidence and estimated risk of residual transmission of hepatitis a virus and parvovirus B19 by blood transfusion in the state of Rio De Janeiro - Brazil: a retrospective study.

Background: Nonenveloped viruses, such as hepatitis A virus (HAV) and parvovirus B19 (B19V), are not inactivated by detergents and solvents commonly used to manufacture plasma derivatives. Cases of transfusion-transmitted HAV and B19V have already been described in several countries. This study aimed to determine the incidence of HAV and B19V asymptomatic infections in blood donors from Rio de Janeiro and evaluate the residual risk of transmission to blood derivative recipients.

Dentoalveolar alterations after interventions to relieve mouth breathing : Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Mouth breathing is related to morphological and functional alterations in growing individuals. Understanding early events that can lead to these changes can prevent or decrease the need for orthodontic treatment.

Objective: The goal was to assess the prognosis for dental alterations evidenced by changes in the incisor inclination and arch width after surgical intervention to normalize the mode of breathing in growing patients.

Reporting Bone Cytopathology-A Proposal Based on a Single Tertiary Centre Experience.

Objective: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from bone lesions has been proven to be a useful diagnostic tool but lacks standardisation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of FNAC as a basis to propose and test a reporting system for bone reporting cytopathology.

Methods: This retrospective study is based on patients with bone lesions, that were approached by cytology at Skåne University Hospital, Sweden between 2015 and 2023.

Corynebacterial membrane vesicles disrupt cariogenic interkingdom assemblages.

Polymicrobial diseases such as periodontal disease and caries pose significant treatment challenges due to their resistance to common approaches like antibiotic therapy. These infections exhibit increased resilience, due to microbial interactions that also disrupt host immune responses. Current research focuses on virulence and disease-promoting interactions, but less is known about interactions that could inhibit or prevent disease development.

Descriptive analysis of the cases published in the Align® Global Gallery.

Introduction: Social media enhanced access to information, making it easier to share dental treatments.

Objective: This study aimed to conduct a descriptive analysis of the clinical cases published on the Align® Global Gallery platform.

Material And Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study of 1,582 cases was conducted, data extracted referred to the following basic information: case number; patient's age; reported gender; Invisalign® package modality; treatment time; aligner exchange protocol; total number of aligners per arch; type of retainers, and inclusion of initial and final panoramic and cephalometric radiographs.
