Elimination of microbes in the root canal system is crucial for achieving long-term success in endodontic treatment. Further efforts in study design and standardization are needed in order to improve the validity and comparability of in vitro results on endodontic disinfection procedures, in turn improving clinical outcomes. This study optimizes two models at all steps: tooth selection, pretreatment, inoculation method (by growth or centrifugation), and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM)-guided imaging of LIVE/DEAD-stained specimens.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAims: Prevention of heart failure relies on the early identification and control of risk factors. We aimed to identify the frequency and characteristics of individuals at risk of heart failure in the general population.
Methods And Results: We report cross-sectional data from the prospective Characteristics and Course of Heart Failure Stages A-B and Determinants of Progression (STAAB) cohort study investigating a representative sample of residents of Würzburg, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- This study explores the role of microvascular tissue (mVASC) in promoting wound healing by examining its components and biological effects.
- mVASC was tested in both animal models and human chronic wounds, showing an increase in blood vessel formation and healing processes.
- The results suggest that utilizing microvascular tissue can enhance healing in difficult-to-treat wounds by supporting tissue repair mechanisms.
