Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between residual right-to-left shunt (RLS) after percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure and specific PFO structural features identified via transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
- Out of 123 patients screened for PFO closure due to cryptogenic stroke, 103 were successfully treated, with 21% showing significant residual RLS within an 18-month follow-up period.
- The research finds that certain anatomical characteristics, like aortic rim and IVC-PFO tunnel angle, are significantly associated with the presence of residual RLS, suggesting the IVC-PFO tunnel angle as a useful indicator for predicting RLS after PFO closure.
Preventing the development and recurrence of periodontal diseases often includes antimicrobial mouthrinses to control the growth of the periodontal pathogens. Most antimicrobials are nonselective, targeting the symbiotic oral species as well as the dysbiosis-inducing ones. This affects the overall microbial composition and metabolic activity and consequently the host-microbe interactions, which can be detrimental (associated with inflammation) or beneficial (health-associated).

Probiotics have demonstrated oral health benefits by influencing the microbiome and the host. Although promising, their current use is potentially constrained by several restrictions. One such limiting factor lies in the prevailing preparation of a probiotic product.
