Article Synopsis
- Health personnel, including physicians, nurses, and medical students, are at higher risk for hepatitis B, making effective vaccination and monitoring of immune response critical.
- A study conducted in 2017 with 120 health workers in Paraguay found that 64% had adequate anti-HBs levels, while 36% did not respond well to the vaccine.
- Obesity was identified as a significant factor linked to poor vaccine response, whereas other factors like sex, age, and smoking did not show a significant impact.
This systematic review considers the evidence from animal studies evaluating the effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in the treatment of intraoral peri-implant defects. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and LILACS databases were searched for quantitative preclinical controlled animal model studies that evaluated the effect of MSC on bone healing at intraoral peri-implant bone defects. The primary outcome was the amount of (re-)osseointegration reported as bone-to-implant contact in the defect area.
