Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how brain region degeneration relates to social cognition (SC) and executive functions (EF) deficits in patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), involving 103 participants from Germany.
- - It reveals that performance in understanding social cues (using the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test) correlates mostly with gray matter volume and cortical thickness in the temporal and insular areas, while EF performance is linked to prefrontal regions.
- - The findings highlight that there is some overlap in the brain regions associated with both SC and EF, particularly in the insula and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and these patterns are clearer when considering both cognitive domains together.
M18 administration has been proven to provide positive effects on periodontal health; however, there is still no consensus on the optimum duration of probiotic administration. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of three months of probiotic supplementation on bleeding on probing, signs of gingival inflammation, and dental biofilm. Sixty-two eligible individuals with gingivitis were enrolled in this placebo-controlled, double-blind trial and randomly allocated to the M18 or control groups.

We cross-validated fluid biomarkers and neuroimaging.
Methods: Seven fluid biomarkers from cerebrospinal fluid and serum were related to atrophy in 428 participants including these FTLD subtypes, logopenic variant PPA (lvPPA), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and healthy subjects.
Soft drinks may have a deleterious effect on dental health due to a high titratable acidity and a low pH that could be sufficient to induce tooth demineralization. The use of oral care products immediately after acidic challenge may diminish the erosive potential of soft drinks. We assessed the effect of oral care foams and a spray on salivary pH changes after exposure to Coca-Cola in young adults.

Pure cultures of and were isolated from root canal samples. The disc diffusion method was used to compare the antibacterial effect of pure SH and SH mixed with 9%, 15%, and 18% etidronate of two manufactures (dual rinse (DR); IsraDent (ID)) and EDTA.
