Article Synopsis
- Research indicates that trauma-related nightmares (TRNs) may play a role in the development of PTSD, especially in individuals who have experienced trauma.
- A study focused on a low-income, Black urban population in Detroit found that patients exposed to interpersonal violence were significantly more likely to experience TRNs compared to those who suffered non-interpersonal trauma.
- The presence of TRNs not only escalated over time in those exposed to interpersonal violence but also predicted an increase in PTSD symptoms, suggesting that early treatment for TRNs could help mitigate PTSD risk.

Background: The treatment of leprosy reactions (LRs) involves thalidomide, corticosteroids, and other immunomodulatory medications. This study evaluated the effect of these treatments on the association between periodontitis and LRs, as well as factors associated with LRs.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 283 individuals followed at a leprosy outpatient clinic in Brazil.
Background: Excess weight (EW), especially in women of childbearing age, those who are pregnant, as well as postpartum, is a problem worldwide. Fat accumulation deregulates the inflammatory response, contributing to the development of health problems, such as periodontitis. This study investigated the association between EW and periodontitis during pregnancy.
