Use of and extracts as alternatives to organic filter in photoprotective formulations.

Recently, the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries have aimed to reduce the concentration of EU-approved organic filters in their products by incorporating more natural ingredients. The goal is to find effective SPF boosters from plants while maintaining high protection levels and adhering to ecological and public health standards. This study focuses on developing a sunscreen formulation that replaces the organic filter EHMC (2-ethylhexyl-4-meth-oxycinnamate) with extracts from and/or oil.

Incidental findings from cone-beam computed tomography in children and adolescents: a systematic review.

Purpose: The use of cone-beam computed tomographies (CBCT) in orthodontics and pediatric dentistry is constantly increasing. The aim of this systematic review was to critically appraise and summarize evidence from clinical studies on the prevalence of incidental findings from CBCTs of children and adolescents.

Methods: Systematic literature searches without restrictions were undertaken in eight databases from inception up to March 2024 for studies reporting on incidental findings from CBCT images of children and adolescents.

Weighing up the potential of "superfoods" compounds of green tea or turmeric as adjuncts in comparison to established therapeutical approaches for periodontal disease.

Objective: Aim of this study was to critically appraise clinical evidence on the potential benefits of adjunctive use of superfoods green tea and turmeric as mouthrinse or local delivery agents in the treatment of periodontal disease.

Materials And Methods: Electronic searches were performed in four databases for randomized trials from inception to February 2024 assessing the supplemental use of superfoods green tea and turmeric for gingivitis/periodontitis treatment. After duplicate study selection, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment with the RoB 2 tool, random-effects meta-analyses of Mean Differences (MD) or Standardized Mean Differences (SMD) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were performed.

Heterozygous p62/SQSTM1 mutation and right temporal variant of frontotemporal dementia: Α case report.

Mutations in sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) gene have been associated with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia - ALS (FTD-ALS), and very recently, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), paget disease of bone (PDB), distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV), and neurodegenerative disorders in childhood. We present a case of right temporal variant of FTD (rtvFTD) with heterozygous mutation (c.823_824del(p.
