Methods for assessing peri-implant marginal bone levels on digital periapical radiographs: a meta-research.

Objectives: This meta-research assessed methodologies used for evaluating peri-implant marginal bone levels on digital periapical radiographs in randomised clinical trials published between 2019 and 2023.

Methods: Articles were searched in four databases. Data on methods for assessing peri-implant marginal bone levels were extracted.

Evaluation of radiation therapy on grafted and non-grafted defects: an experimental rat model.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the effects of a single-dose radiation therapy (15 Gy) on grafted and non-grafted defects, bone microarchitecture, and collagen maturity.

Methodology: Bone defects were surgically created in rat femurs. The right femur defect was filled with blood clot (group "Clot") and the left femur defect by deproteinized bovine bone mineral graft (group "Xenograft").

Combined Association of Plasma Metabolites with Body Mass Index and Physical Activity Level.

Metabolomic analysis of the changes in plasma metabolites in obesity along with physical activity interaction may contribute to disease diagnosis and treatment. We sought to make a comprehensive assessment of the plasma metabolite profile of subjects with a lean ( = 20, BMI = 22.3) or overweight/obese ( = 29, BMI = 29) body mass index (BMI) and low ( = 33, IPAQ = 842) or high ( = 16, IPAQ = 6935) index of physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ), using an untargeted metabolomic approach.

Evaluation of the public health laboratory network for tegumentary leishmaniasis in an endemic area of Brazil.

Diagnostic networks ensure efficiency in disease diagnosis. A descriptive study evaluated the network of public health laboratories (NPHL) in Minas Gerais State, Brazil, using diagnostic results for tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) from the laboratory management system in 2017-2020. Out of 1,369 individuals analyzed, 704 (51.

The use of a woman's own eggs in her first IVF treatment at the age of 48 years and 10 months with successful live birth after PGT-A: a case report.

Natural conception in women after the age of 45 years is rare. The probability of successful pregnancy in this specific group of women after IVF and embryo transfer with autologous oocytes is also reduced. In addition, advanced maternal age is associated with an increased risk of aneuploidies and other associated complications during pregnancy.
