Influence of risedronate on orthodontic tooth movement in rodents: a systematic review and case report.

Introduction: Bisphosphonates have an inhibitory impact on osteoclastic activity, reducing bone resorption. However, the influence of risedronate on tooth movement is not well-defined.

Objective: This systematic review assessed the effect of risedronate intake on orthodontic tooth movement.

Extracapsular femoral neck fractures treated with total hip arthroplasty: identification of a population with better outcomes.

Background: Femoral neck fractures (FNF) are associated to patient's disability, reduced quality of life and mortality. None of the fixation devices commonly used for extracapsular (EC) FNF (i.e.

Why Use Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Tendinopathic Patients: A Systematic Review.

The aim of the present systematic review was to provide a clear overview of the clinical current research progress in the use of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) as an effective therapeutic option for the management of tendinopathies, pathologies clinically characterized by persistent mechanical pain and structural alteration of the tendons. The review was carried out using three databases (Scopus, ISI Web of Science and PubMed) and analyzed records from 2013 to 2021. Only English-language papers describing the isolation and manipulation of adipose tissue as source of ASCs and presenting ASCs as treatment for clinical tendinopathies were included.

Estrogen protects dental roots from orthodontic-induced inflammatory resorption.

Objective: Root resorption is a side effect of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). Despite the recognized role of estrogen on bone, there is little information about their effects on orthodontic-induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR). We aimed to investigate if estrogen deficiency affects OIIRR in two mice strains.

Prolactin regulates kisspeptin neurons in the arcuate nucleus to suppress LH secretion in female rats.

Prolactin (PRL) is known to suppress LH secretion. Kisspeptin neurons regulate LH secretion and express PRL receptors. We investigated whether PRL acts on kisspeptin neurons to suppress LH secretion in lactating (Lac) and virgin rats.

Pulmonary actinomycosis as a pseudotumor: a rare presentation.

Some lung diseases are true diagnostic challenges due to their various clinical presentations. Actinomycosis is one such disease, potentially affecting various organs and systems. We report the case of a patient with pulmonary actinomycosis as a pseudotumor, which is usually only diagnosed by thoracotomy or thoracoscopy.
