Background: Maintaining gut microbial homeostasis is crucial for human health, as imbalances in the gut microbiota (GM) can lead to various diseases, including metabolic syndrome (MS), exacerbated by the use of antipsychotic medications such as olanzapine (OLZ). Understanding the role of the GM in OLZ-induced MS could lead to new therapeutic strategies. This study used metagenomic analysis to explore the impact of OLZ on the GM composition and examined how probiotics can mitigate its adverse effects in a rat model.

- - The study examines two methods for reconstructing orbital floor fractures—iliac bone grafting and metal mesh—in 50 patients, assessing postoperative complications over six months.
- - Results showed no significant difference in complications between the two methods, but iliac bone graft patients experienced slightly fewer cases of diplopia (double vision) and enophthalmos (sunken eye).
- - Both techniques are effective; the choice between them should depend on individual patient needs and surgeon preference.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess, in a tertiary care context, the significance of C-reactive protein (CRP) in salivary gland illness.
