Article Synopsis
- The study tested whether adding allogeneic adipose tissue-derived stem cells (AASCs) to deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) would improve bone formation after sinus floor augmentation (SFA) compared to using DBBM alone.
- Eighteen minipigs were divided into three groups and euthanized at one, two, and four months post-augmentation to measure newly formed bone (NFB) and bone-to-implant contact (BIC) through histomorphometric analysis.
- Results showed no significant differences in NFB or BIC between the AASC-treated group and the control at any time point, suggesting that AASCs did not enhance bone healing compared to DBBM alone.
Species worldwide are experiencing anthropogenic environmental change, and the long-term impacts on animal cultural traditions such as vocal dialects are often unknown. Our prior studies of the yellow-naped amazon () revealed stable vocal dialects over an 11-year period (1994-2005), with modest shifts in geographic boundaries and acoustic structure of contact calls. Here, we examined whether yellow-naped amazons maintained stable dialects over the subsequent 11-year time span from 2005 to 2016, culminating in 22 years of study.

However, responsive surface properties of biomaterials may be susceptible to sterilization processes, compromising important physio-chemical characteristics. For that reason, this in vitro study aimed to investigate the effects of three different processes for sterilization (humid heat under pressure, UVC-light exposure, and Gamma irradiation) on the major topographical properties of implant surfaces applied to dental bone-anchored implants and/or implant-abutments.

- Palliative care (PC) is a multidisciplinary healthcare specialty aimed at addressing the comprehensive needs—physical, psychosocial, social, cultural, and spiritual—of patients with serious illnesses and their families.
- The interprofessional team (IPT) consists of various healthcare professionals, such as Nurse Practitioners, Social Workers, and Physicians, who collaborate to provide care, although there is a lack of standardized training and education in the United States for these roles.
- This article reviews available specialty palliative care education programs, including certificate programs and fellowships, to provide a clear overview of the educational options for healthcare professionals interested in this field, focusing on aspects like duration, cost, and delivery methods.
Dental implant surfaces and their unique properties can interact with the surrounding oral tissues through epigenetic cues. The present scoping review provides current perspectives on surface modifications of dental implants, their impact on the osseointegration process, and the interaction between implant surface properties and epigenetics, also in peri-implant diseases. Findings of this review demonstrate the impact of innovative surface treatments on the epigenetic mechanisms of cells, showing promising results in the early stages of osseointegration.
