Objectives: This study evaluates the selective outcome reporting (SOR) in clinical trials on antibiotic use in third molar surgeries. It explores how SOR may bias results and affect systematic reviews, potentially leading to misinterpretations of intervention efficacy.
Materials And Methods: A search was conducted on "ClinicalTrials.

Background: The brain is shielded from the peripheral circulation by central nervous system (CNS) barriers, comprising the well-known blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the less recognized blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier located within the brain ventricles. The gut microbiota represents a diverse and dynamic population of microorganisms that can influence the health of the host, including the development of neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the intricate mechanisms governing the interplay between the gut and brain remain elusive, and the means by which gut-derived signals traverse the CNS barriers remain unclear.

Background: The accuracy of mammography in breast cancer screening is influenced by different factors such as breast composition. However, previous studies did not evaluate the impact of breast size on examination accuracy. This study aimed to investigate the influence of breast size on the accuracy of mammography and ultrasonography in breast cancer screening using compressed breast thickness (CBT) on mammography as an indicator of breast size.

Agro-processing industries generate a substantial quantity of biomass wastes. Conversion of these wastes into valuable material could be profitable considering both environmental and economic aspects. Among various biomass conversion methods, hydrothermal conversion can be used for co-production of biofuel and other valuable materials like carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and activated carbons.

Background: Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH), distinguished by a persistent elevation of blood pressure, emerges as a risk factor for stroke and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Additionally, recent evidence suggests that stroke may adversely affect memory, potentially playing a role in the development of AD. This study aimed to investigate the influence of permanent focal ischemic stroke on memory, as well as on sensorimotor function (asymmetry of the front paws) and cerebral infarct size in adult male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), compared to normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats.
