Objective: To assess which decontamination method(s) used for the debridement of titanium surfaces (disks and dental implants) contaminated with bacterial, most efficiently eliminate bacterial biofilms.
Material And Methods: A systematic search was conducted in four electronic databases between January 1, 2010 and October 31, 2022. The search strategy followed the PICOS format and included only in vitro studies completed on either dental implant or titanium disk samples.
Five state factors control progressive stages of freshwater salinization syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- Factors driving freshwater salinization syndrome (FSS) include inputs of salt ions, erosion rates, hydrologic cycles, rising water temperatures, and ecosystem recovery potential.
- These factors operate in distinct stages that lead to failures in critical ecosystem functions, such as providing clean drinking water, supporting agriculture, and maintaining biodiversity.
- Future research should focus on diagnosing, predicting, and addressing FSS using the identified state factors and their stages.
Article Synopsis
- Horses played a crucial role in Indigenous cultures in the American Southwest and Great Plains, but the timeline and methods of their integration remain debated.
- A study analyzing historic horse remains combined genomic, isotopic, and other evidence, revealing strong genetic ties to Iberian horses, with later British influences.
- By the early 17th century, horses were widely adopted in Indigenous societies, impacting herd management, ceremonies, and cultural practices before European observers arrived in the 18th century.
In this commentary, a practical system for estimating the prognosis for dental implants is presented. Evidence for factors influencing implant prognosis is reviewed. The system is based on the stability of implant supporting tissues as opposed to implant loss.

Typically, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows concentric lamella of areas of demyelination alternating with normal zones of myelin preservation. Clinically, it may be mistaken for other intracranial space-occupying lesions, especially in our subregion, where neuroimaging facilities are scarce or not affordable.
