Role of Sticky Bone in the Management of Various Alveolar Bone Defects: A Systematic Review.

Aim: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of sticky bone in managing various alveolar bone defects, examining both its benefits and drawbacks.

Materials And Methods: The review adhered to PRISMA guidelines and employed a thorough search strategy using major databases, medical subject headings (MeSH) keywords, and Boolean operators. As a result, the systematic review identified 12 studies focusing on the efficacy of sticky bone in treating alveolar bone defects.

G6PD deficiency mediated impairment of iNOS and lysosomal acidification affecting phagocytotic clearance in microglia in response to SARS-CoV-2.

The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is X-linked and is the most common enzymatic deficiency disorder globally. It is a crucial enzyme for the pentose phosphate pathway and produces NADPH, which plays a vital role in regulating the oxidative stress of many cell types. The deficiency of G6PD primarily causes hemolytic anemia under oxidative stress triggered by food, drugs, or infection.
