This study aimed to investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the blood cell count when applied to parotid glands of rats irradiated by volumetric modular arc therapy (VMAT). Thirty-two adult male Wistar rats were used in this study. Samples were randomly assigned to three groups: control group (CG, n = 8), immediate laser group (24 hours) (ILG, n=12), and late laser group (120 hours) (LLG, n=12).

- - The study aimed to examine anemia's occurrence and severity in patients diagnosed with oral cancer, particularly its relation to tumor cell differentiation, using records from 366 patients at referral centers.
- - Among the patients, 15.7% with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) had anemia compared to 11.8% with benign lesions, though the association between anemia and OSCC wasn't statistically significant.
- - Normocytic anemia was most common at diagnosis, with moderate to severely low hemoglobin levels linked to OSCC, demonstrating a significant odds ratio of 6.49, although there were gaps in the hematological data.
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to identify mean oxygen saturation values (SpO) using pulse oximetry in permanent maxillary anterior teeth.
Materials And Methods: The MEDLINE, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, and Literatura Latino Americana em Ciências da Saúde electronic databases were searched. Combinations and variations of "oximetry" AND "dental pulp test" were used as search terms.
Background: Actinic Cheilitis (AC) is a pathological condition of the labial mucosa considered potentially malignant. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of treatment of AC with daily use of a vitamin-based barrier cream.
Material And Methods: For this clinical study, 36 participants with lower-lip AC were recruited from three oral medicine services.
Evaluation of Aquaporins 1 and 5 Expression in Rat Parotid Glands After Volumetric Modulated Arc Radiotherapy and Use of Low-Level Laser Therapy at Different Times.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored how low-level laser therapy (LLLT) affects the expression of aquaporins (AQPs 1 and 5) in the parotid glands of rats after they received volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) radiation.
- The research involved 30 Wistar rats divided into control and experimental groups, with some receiving LLLT just after radiation and others later, to assess the timing's impact on gene expression.
- Results indicated that LLLT increased AQP expression in the glands, especially when administered alone and even after radiation treatment, suggesting a potential therapeutic benefit for maintaining these proteins post-radiotherapy.
