Article Synopsis
- Some studies have suggested that drinking coffee during pregnancy might affect how kids develop, but the results have been mixed.
- This study looked at the link between mothers' and fathers' coffee consumption before and during pregnancy, and how it relates to children's development issues.
- The findings showed a connection between moms who drank coffee and some behavioral challenges in kids, but when factors like smoking and education were considered, the link became weaker.
Article Synopsis
- The treatment of tear troughs, or the medial infraorbital region, is gaining popularity due to its minimally invasive nature and the use of soft tissue fillers injected with a cannula.
- In a study involving 123 participants, the clinical outcomes were evaluated six months after injecting an average of 0.26 cc of filler per tear trough, showing significant improvements in depth, hyperpigmentation, fat pseudo-prolapse, and wrinkle severity (all p < 0.001).
- The findings suggest that this injection technique is effective for reducing the appearance of hollowing under the eyes with few adverse effects, using a method that emphasizes bridging gaps rather than filling completely.
Background: We aimed to evaluate the characteristics, clinical outcomes, and blood product transfusion (BPT) rates of patients undergoing cardiac transplant (CT) while receiving uninterrupted anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy.
Methods: A retrospective, single-center, and observational study of adult patients who underwent CT was performed. Patients were classified into four groups: (1) patients without anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy (control), (2) patients on antiplatelet therapy (AP), (3) patients on vitamin K antagonists (AVKs), and (4) patients on dabigatran (dabigatran).
Objectives: Abstaining from tobacco smoking may not only improve general health, but also reduce teeth staining and restore teeth whiteness. Compared with conventional cigarettes, E-cigarettes (ECs) and heated tobacco products (HTPs) may offer substantial reduction in exposure to pigmented tar-like compounds of cigarette smoke. It is possible that improvements in dental color indices may be observed in those who have stopped smoking combustible cigarettes by switching to tar-free nicotine delivery products.
