Objectives: Despite a substantial epidemiological literature on the incidence of psychotic disorders in Ireland, no systematic review has previously been undertaken. Such evidence can help inform understanding of need for psychosis care.
Methods: We conducted a prospectively registered systematic review (PROSPERO: CRD42021245891) following PRISMA guidelines.
Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed the biocompatibility, biomineralization, and antibacterial properties of different resinous endodontic sealers with calcium hydroxide over a period of 60 days using a rat model.
- - Sealer 26 demonstrated the highest biomineralization and maturation of collagen fibers throughout the study, while inflammatory responses were generally mild after 60 days across all tested materials.
- - Although all sealers displayed good biocompatibility and some antibacterial activity, they were less effective than chlorhexidine, with no significant antibacterial differences noted among the sealers themselves.
Teeth with acute apical abscess vs. teeth with chronic apical periodontitis: a quantitative and qualitative proteomic analysis.
Clin Oral Investig
February 2023
Objective: To quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the proteomic profile of teeth with acute apical abscesses (AAA) compared with teeth with chronic apical periodontitis (CAP) and to correlate the expression of detected human proteins with their main biological functions.
Materials And Methods: Samples were obtained from root canals of 9 patients diagnosed with AAA and 9 with CAP. Samples were analyzed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry.
Aim: The lipopolysaccharides-dentine-infection (LPS-dentine-infection) models and sampling techniques frequently used to evaluate LPS disinfection have limitations. In this study, a LPS-dentine-infection model was devised using fluorescent conjugate LPS. Secondly, a sampling technique using cryogenic grinding for intraradicular LPS analysis was evaluated.

These seafloor turbidity currents originated from the Congo River-mouth, with one flow travelling >1,130 km whilst accelerating from 5.2 to 8.
