Aim: This study evaluated the effects of surgical (SD) and non-surgical (NSD) debridements, associated with systemic antimicrobials, on clinical and immunological outcomes of residual pockets [RP; probing depth (PD) ≥5 mm with bleeding on probing] in type 2 diabetics.
Material And Methods: A split-mouth, randomized controlled trial was conducted in 21 subjects presenting at least two RP per contralateral quadrant. Subjects received metronidazole plus amoxicillin for 10 days and, contralateral quadrants were assigned to receive SD or NSD. Clinical parameters and local levels of interferon-γ, interleukin (IL)-17, IL-23 and IL-4 were assessed at baseline, 3 and 6 months post-therapies.
Results: Overall, the mean number, PD and clinical attachment level (CAL) of RP improved significantly after therapies (p < 0.05), without differences between groups at any time-point (p > 0.05). At quadrant level, only SD produced significant reductions in the mean CAL. Also, SD promoted higher reduction in PD from baseline to 6 months than NSD (p < 0.05). Levels of all cytokines were increased after SD compared with NSD (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: SD and NSD associated with systemic antimicrobials did not differ in terms of clinical benefits for RP in diabetics up to 6 months post-therapies. RP treated by SD presented increased levels of cytokines.

Background: This study aimed to compare the incidence of bleeding using two periodontal treatment protocols in patients with recent Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
Material And Methods: This is an interim analysis of a double-blind controlled clinical trial evaluating two periodontal treatment schemes in patients with recent ACS treated with different dual antiplatelet regimens: Clopidogrel+ASA, Prasugrel+ASA and Ticagrelor+ASA. After randomisation six patients (22 quadrants) were treated with Scheme A (scaling and root planning-SRP) and six patients (21 quadrants) with Scheme B (ultrasonic scaling-US).

Background: Thymomas and thymic carcinomas are rare and aggressive thymic tumors that are usually detected in advanced stages. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment; however, the role of surgery in advanced disease is controversial due to factors such as myasthenia gravis; thus, decisions about whether to perform surgical interventions are complex. Further studies need to be conducted to explore the potential benefits of surgery in the treatment of advanced thymic tumors.

Functional and aesthetic aberrations of labia majora are poorly described in scientific literature, and there is a lack of standardization and algorithms for treatment. The labia majora differs from the labia minora in that it has transitional epithelium, fascia, erectile tissue, and adipose components connected to crural, pelvic, and perineal structures. Non-surgical treatments, such as radiofrequency and light-based therapy, must match the symptoms and target these unique structures to have an effect.

This study aims to compare the survival discrimination of the Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) eighth and ninth editions for patients with localized and locally advanced (LLA) anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) treated non-surgically and to evaluate the prognostic impact of T classification and lymph node (LN) status with data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. We retrospectively included 6,876 patients in the comparison. We observed the inversion of survival outcomes for stages IIB and IIIA diseases in the TNM eighth edition [median overall survival (OS): 112 months for stage IIB vs.
