Article Synopsis
- The study explored how different artificial saliva solutions affect the passive film on a specific type of stainless steel used in orthodontics, focusing on its composition and thickness.
- The presence of low pH, sodium citrate, and lactic acid was found to create thinner passive films enriched in chromium phosphates while depleting iron oxide.
- Over time, the corrosion rates decreased, stabilizing at about 0.5 μm/year after 16 hours across all saliva solutions tested.
Background: Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 is the only probiotic recommended for treatment of colicky infants, but its mechanism of action is not clear. The study aim was to examine urinary metabolomic fingerprint of colicky breastfed infants before and after 1 month of orally administered Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 or placebo.
Methods: This randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial was carried out with a well-documented probiotic.
