Ischaemic preconditioning increases the survival of flaps. Random-pattern McFarlane dorsal flaps were raised in 30 female Wistar rats, which were divided into three groups. An ischaemic conditioning protocol with clamping of the pedicle was used. No clamping was used in the control group, and the pedicle was clamped for 15 minutes in the second group and 20 minutes in the third group daily to see if the duration of ischaemia had any effects on the viability of the flaps. The pedicles were divided earlier in the clamped groups than in the control group. The size of necrotic areas of the flaps in the clamped groups was smaller than on the control group. Daily postoperative intermittent ischaemic conditioning in the pedicles of the flaps had a protective effect on their survival and led to earlier division of the pedicles.

Peri-implant diseases, such as peri-implantitis, affect up to 47% of dental implant recipients, primarily due to biofilm formation. Current decontamination methods vary in efficacy, prompting interest in polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) for their antimicrobial and protein-specific cleaning properties. This study evaluated the efficacy of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) in decontaminating titanium dental implants by removing proteinaceous pellicle layers and resisting recontamination.

Background: Since there is currently no cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), it is essential to search for diagnostic biomarkers and novel treatments to reduce the severity of this disease. One of these treatment approaches is stem cell transplantation.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeated transplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in patients with ALS by analyzing clinical and molecular data.

The inner ear of teleost fishes is known to serve both auditory and vestibular functions. Many studies have compared otoliths from different species and attempted to understand the observed differences within the light of environmental factors. However, experimental data on how otoliths could adapt are scarce.

Background: Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor, yet traditional care often results in suboptimal blood pressure (BP) control at the population level. We implemented a remote hypertension management program that monitored home BP and titrated medications per algorithm. This study assessed the program's long-term effects by examining participants' office BP up to 42 months post-enrollment.
