Interactions Between Oral Microbiota and Cancers in the Aging Community: A Narrative Review.

The oral microbiome potentially wields significant influence in the development of cancer. Within the human oral cavity, an impressive diversity of more than 700 bacterial species resides, making it the second most varied microbiome in the body. This finely balanced oral microbiome ecosystem is vital for sustaining oral health.

The Current Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activities of Synthetic/Herbal/Biomaterials in Dental Application.

Herbal and chemical products are used for oral care and biofilm treatment and also have been reported to be controversial in the massive trials conducted in this regard. The present review is aimed at evaluating the potential of relevant herbal and chemical products and comparing their outcomes to conventional oral care products and summarizing the current state of evidence of the antibiofilm properties of different products by evaluating studies from the past eleven years. Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), essential oils (EOs), and acetylpyridinium chloride were, respectively, the most commonly studied agents in the included studies.

Ultrasonic evaluation of thelarche grading in 2-8-year-old obese girls suspected of precocious pubert.

Introduction: The prevalence of obesity in children is increasing. In obese children, clinical examination alone is not sufficient to differentiate lipomastia from thelarche. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of true thelarche in obese girls suspected of precocious puberty.

Distress tolerance and posttraumatic stress disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The association between distress tolerance (DT) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is well established. This study aimed to provide an account of the magnitude of this effect across available studies. From the 2,212 records yielded by the initial search, 56 studies comprised 12,672 participants ( =29.

Psychometric Properties of the Persian Translation of Video Gaming Addiction Test.

Introduction: The current study aims to measure the validity, reliability, and psychometric properties of the Persian translation of the Video Gaming Addiction Test (VAT).

Methods: A total of 280 young men (14-20 years old) (Mean±SD age: 17.22±1.

Esophageal epithelium modeling based on globally coupled map: an approach toward precancerous lesion diagnosis.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is the most predominant malignancy of the esophagus. Its histological precursors (dysplasia) emerge in the esophageal epithelium that their progression into the underlying layers leads to cancer. The epithelium is the origin of many solid cancers and, accordingly, the focus of numerous computational models.

The Effect of Early Passive Range of Motion Exercise on Motor Function of People with Stroke: a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Frequent and regular exercises in the first six months of stroke may cause return of a significant portion of sensory and motor function of patients. This study aimed to examine the effects of passive range of motion exercise in the acute phase after stroke on motor function of the patients. A randomized controlled trial study was conducted.

The retention characteristics of Hawley and vacuum-formed retainers with different retention protocols.

Background: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two different protocols of wearing vacuum-formed retainers (VFRs) with the standard protocol of wearing Hawley retainer in maintaining the results of orthodontic treatment.

Material And Methods: This single-blind randomized clinical trial consisted of 90 patients who finished orthodontic treatment at the Department of Orthodontics of Mashhad Dental School, and required removable retainers. The participants were randomly divided into 3 groups and received the following treatments.

Immunogenicity of the nanovaccine containing intimin recombinant protein in the BALB/c mice.

Purpose: O157:H7 is one of the most important pathogens which create hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome in human. It is one of the most prevalent causes of diarrhea leading to death of many people every year. The first diagnosed gene in the locus of enterocyte effacement pathogenicity island is gene.
