The impact of zinc pre-exposure on ciprofloxacin resistance development in .

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health crisis that is predicted to worsen in the coming years. While improper antibiotic usage is an established driver, less is known about the impact of other endogenous and exogeneous environmental factors, such as metals, on AMR. One metal of interest is zinc as it is often used as a supplement for diarrhea treatment prior to antibiotics.

The impact of oral health promotion on the quality of life of children with bleeding disorders: fighting misconceptions.

Background: Understanding the disease-specific risks and patient-related barriers of children with bleeding disorders is necessary for primary oral health promotion. Our goal was to assess the oral health status and the impact of oral health promotion among patients with bleeding disorders.

Research Design And Methods: At baseline, 70 patients with inherited and acquired bleeding disorders had a complete intraoral examination, completed the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) questionnaires, and an oral health education was given.

Calcium handling abnormalities increase arrhythmia susceptibility in DMSXL myotonic dystrophy type 1 mice.

Background: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multiorgan disorder with significant cardiac involvement. ECG abnormalities, including arrhythmias, occur in 80 % of DM1 patients and are the second-most common cause of death after respiratory complications; however, the mechanisms underlying the arrhythmogenesis remain unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the basis of the electrophysiological abnormalities in DM1 using the DMSXL mouse model.
