Knowledge of microbiology-related issues in dentistry is fundamental to clinical practice and patient care. The purpose of this literature review is to comprehensively describe the roles microbes play in pediatric dental practice, with a special focus on eight continuing and emerging microbiological issues related to waterline safety, dental material contamination, effects of oral bacteria on systemic health, antibiotic resistance, continuing COVID-19 findings and risks associated with animal-assisted therapies. Key points are highlighted on each topic, with current reports demonstrating microbial impacts on human health and clinical settings.

- WDFY3 defects can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders and affect brain size differently depending on genetic variations.
- A specific case is presented involving a heterozygous nonsense variant of WDFY3 associated with mild-to-moderate neurodevelopmental disorders, larger head size (macrocephaly), and distinctive facial traits.
- This highlights the critical role of exome sequencing in diagnosing neurodevelopmental disorders for better clinical care.
Background: Most patients with ovarian cancer relapse within 2 years. Prospective randomized trials, such as DESKTOP III and SOC-I, have shown the role of secondary cytoreduction in improving oncological outcomes in selected patients, when complete tumor resection is achieved. Recent retrospective series suggest that minimally invasive surgery is a feasible option in oligometastatic recurrences, such as rectal ones.

- * It involved a retrospective evaluation of PRS among different risk families, showing that while PVs are critical for carriers’ risk estimation, PRS enhances risk assessment for non-carriers.
- * The findings suggest that integrating PRS with genetic status can provide a clearer picture of individual lifetime risk, aiding personalized management strategies for both carrier and non-carrier women in BC families.
Introduction: Despite the rising number of NPS-related deaths, comprehensive data on their prevalence, identification, and associated organ damage remain scarce.
Materials And Methods: A literature search was conducted. Predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, resulting in the identification of 197 articles.
