In vitro cytotoxicity (irritant potency) of toothpaste ingredients.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the cytotoxicity (irritant potency) of toothpaste ingredients, of which some had known to have sensitizing properties.

Materials: From the wide variety of toothpaste ingredients, Xylitol, Propylene glycol (PEG), Sodium metaphosphate (SMP), Lemon, Peppermint, Fluoride, Cinnamon, and Triclosan and Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) have been selected for evaluation of their cytotoxic properties.

Methods: Reconstructed human gingiva (RHG) were topically exposed to toothpaste ingredients at different concentrations.

Efficacy and safety of currently approved and lower starting doses of inotuzumab ozogamicin in adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a phase IV study.

Inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) is approved for treatment of relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R ALL). Previous studies reported higher rates of post- hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) in patients receiving InO versus chemotherapy prior to HSCT. It is unknown if a lower InO dose would reduce risk of post-HSCT SOS or if it would impact efficacy.

Comparison of NoSAS score with STOP-Bang and Berlin scores in predicting difficult airway.

Background: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the NoSAS, STOP-Bang, and Berlin scoring systems, which are utilized to predict obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), in forecasting difficult airway management. Additionally, the study sought to determine which of these scoring systems is the most practical and effective for this purpose.

Methods: Following the ethics committee approval, preoperative NoSAS, STOP-Bang, and Berlin scores were calculated for 420 patients aged 18 years and older who were scheduled for tracheal intubation.

Bioactive Compounds and Fatty Acid Composition of Oils Obtained by Different Extraction Methods from Caper (Capparis ovata Desf.) Seeds.

In this study, the total phenol, total flavonoid content, antioxidant capacity, phenolic component and fatty acid profiles of caper seed oils extracted by solvent extraction, sonication extraction and cold press methods were revealed. Total phenol amounts of caper seed oils extracted by cold press, sonication and solvent systems were recorded as 0.10, 0.

Oil Composition and Phenolic Compounds of Plum Seeds Obtained from Fruit Processing By-products Treated by Heat.

In this study, the effect of microwave drying on oil content, bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, polyphenols and fatty acid profiles of fresh (control) and dried plum kernels was investigated. The oil quantities of plum seeds dried were found between 27.40% (control) and 42.
