The Effects of Sarcopenia on Overall Survival and Postoperative Complications of Patients Undergoing Hepatic Resection for Primary or Metastatic Liver Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, and 20-30% of patients will develop liver metastases (CRLM) during their lifetime. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is also one of the most common cancers worldwide with increasing incidence. Hepatic resection represents the most effective treatment approach for both CRLM and HCC.

Association of Chronic Periodontitis with Helicobacter pylori Infection in Stomach or Mouth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

() infection and periodontitis are both inflammatory conditions associated with systemic diseases. Researchers have attempted to investigate the correlation between them. This systematic review and meta-analyses were conducted to investigate the association of infection in the stomach and/or in subgingival plaque and gingival crevicular fluid with chronic periodontitis.

Periodontitis and Helicobacter pylori Infection: Eradication and Periodontal Therapy Combination.

Objectives:  This study was aimed to assess (1) the prevalence of salivary and gastric (HP) infection in patients with and without periodontitis, (2) the prevalence of HP infection in patients with periodontitis according to its clinical classification, (3) the effect of periodontitis treatment in patients with or without gastric HP infection, and (4) if gastric HP eradication in combination with periodontitis treatment influences periodontitis clinical outcome.

Materials And Methods:  Thirty-three adults with periodontitis treated by quadrant scaling and root planning (QSRP). The simplified plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing index (BOP), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were assessed pretreatment and 3 months of posttreatment.
