The effect of electronic cigarette use on peri-implant conditions in men: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To systematically review the effect of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use on clinical, radiographic, and immunologic peri-implant parameters in males.

Study Design: A comprehensive search of indexed databases was conducted to identify studies reporting data on both e-cigarette users and nonsmokers with implant-supported prosthesis with ≥1-year in function, up to May 2022. Marginal bone loss (MBL), probing depth (PD), plaque index (PI), and bleeding on probing (BOP) were recorded.

Oral health and Candida carriage in socioeconomically disadvantaged US pregnant women.

Background: Despite the well-documented associations between poor maternal oral health and increased risk for adverse birth outcomes and dental caries in children after birth, prenatal oral health care is under-utilized, especially among the underserved population. In addition, oral Candida has recently been suggested as a potential culprit for children's dental caries, with evident maternal contributions. Therefore, this study aimed to obtain epidemiological data on the oral health and oral Candida carriage in a cohort of underserved US pregnant women, and reveal factors associated with their oral Candida carriage.

Activity of quercetin and kaemferol against Streptococcus mutans biofilm.

Objective: Nidus Vespae (NV) is the honeycomb of Polistes Olivaceous, P. Japonicus Saussure, and Parapolybiavaria Fabricius. Previously, we have shown the extract and chemical fractions from NV demonstrated remarkable capacities of inhibiting the acid production of oral bacteria at sub-minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) concentrations.

Predictors of intensive care unit admission after total joint arthroplasty.

Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a relatively safe orthopedic procedure. However, complications do occur, and some may necessitate admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Our purpose was to determine risk factors associated with admittance to ICU after TJA.

Accuracy of parental reporting of immunization.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the reliability of parental reporting of their children's immunization status. One hundred eight consecutively admitted children to Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center were sampled during October and November 2001. Review of the immunization record, recording the immunizations documented, and matching it with the parents' report was done for children in whom the parents brought the cards.
