Evaluation of the interaction between Menthol and Camphor, Major Compounds of Clinopodium nepeta Essential Oil: Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory and Anticancer Activities against Breast Cancer Cell Lines.

This study evaluates the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities of camphor, menthol and their equimolar combination. In silico toxicity analysis confirmed the absence of toxic effects for both compounds. Antioxidant activity, assessed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays, revealed a synergistic effect of the equimolar combination with IC50 values of 10.

[Management of risks linked to the sterilization of reusable medical devices in dentistry].

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the risks associated with the sterilization process for reusable medical devices (RMD) in stomatology, by applying the FMECA method, with a view to implementing the necessary corrective and preventive actions necessary to secure this process.

Methods: The study, which was descriptive, took place between June and July 2024 in the medicine and dental surgery department of our hospital and concerned the moist heat sterilization process of RMD. The study began by defining its scope and the formation of the work team, followed by the functional analysis of the process, the identification of the failure modes (FM), the definition of the rating scales, the rating of the FM and finally the calculation of the criticality index and the development of the action plan.

Angiotensin-converting-enzyme gene insertion-deletion polymorphism and renin angiotensin aldosterone system activity in different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Unlabelled: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition. Its pathophysiology involves an interaction between genetic and environmental factors, resulting in different reproductive and metabolic subtypes. Genetic variation in the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene has been implicated in the pathophysiology of the syndrome.
