Article Synopsis
- The study explores how periodontal inflammation affects both salivary gland function and the oral microbiome, highlighting the significance of these factors in overall health.
- In an experimental model with mice, researchers noticed changes in immune cell activity in the salivary glands and alterations in the oral microbiome following induced periodontitis.
- The findings emphasize a strong connection between oral bacteria, immune responses in salivary glands, and how inflammation can disrupt oral health, providing insights into maintaining oral homeostasis.
Article Synopsis
- * A nationwide case-control study aimed to estimate the vaccine's effectiveness against advanced cervical lesions (like CIN3+) among women aged 20-26 from 2013 to 2020, revealing a significant risk reduction for vaccinated individuals.
- * Results showed that vaccinated women had an odds ratio of 0.14 for developing CIN3 or higher compared to unvaccinated women, indicating an 86% effectiveness of the HPV vaccine; notably, none of the squamous cell carcinoma cases were from vaccinated women.

The global emergence of -COVID-19 has prompted rapid therapeutic and vaccine advancements; however, clinical evidence remains limited. With around a 50% fatality rate for COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), early intervention is crucial. This report details a severe case of post-COVID-19 thrombocytopenia in a 79-year-old man and emphasizes its critical nature.
