Background: Considered the most prevalent noncommunicable disease in childhood, dental caries is both an individual and a collective burden. While international guidelines highlight prevention as a major strategy for caries management in children, health professionals still struggle to implement prevention into their clinical practice. Further research is needed to understand the gap between the theoretical significance of dental prevention and its lack of implementation in the clinical setting.

Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis and periodontal disease are associated together, but the effect of therapy provided for one disease to the second one remained under-investigated. This study investigated effect of infliximab therapy used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on various biomarkers of periodontal disease (PD) severity including serologies of and and matrix metalloproteinase 3.

Methods: Seventy nine RA patients were enrolled at the time to start infliximab therapy and the 28 joint disease activity score (DAS28), anti-cyclic citrullinated petides 2nd generation (anti-CCP2), anti- antibody, and Matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) were monitored before and at 6 months of infliximab therapy.

Background: The choice of cost data sources is crucial, because it influences the results of cost studies, decisions of hospital managers and ultimately national directives of policy makers. The main objective of this study was to compare a hospital cost accounting system in a French hospital group and the national cost study (ENC) considering the cost of organ recovery procedures. The secondary objective was to compare these approaches to the weighting method used in the ENC to assess organ recovery costs.

Article Synopsis
  • Organ recovery costs were assessed in the French healthcare system from 2007 to 2014, focusing on integrating these costs into healthcare budgets and policies, appealing to various stakeholders like health economists and policy makers.
  • The study analyzed data from over 12,000 brain death donors and identified that while the mean hospital stay cost was roughly €7469, the costs for recovering different organs varied significantly, highlighting the complexity of organ recovery economics.
  • Despite a slight increase in donors, improved recovery practices led to a rise in the number of organs recovered, indicating that effective organization and management are key to enhancing organ availability beyond just cost considerations.
