Introduction: Triple inhaled therapy (TT) in one device has been shown in clinical trials to reduce exacerbations and in some cases mortality compared to dual inhaled therapy (DT) in one device in the population of moderate to very severe COPD patients and previous exacerbations. This evidence must be contrasted in real-world conditions.
Patients And Methods: Non-intervention retrospective cohort study comparing the incidence of moderate and severe exacerbations in COPD patients treated with TT (formoterol, glycopyrrolate and budesonide, 5mcg/72mcg/320mcg, n=112) and DT (LAMA/LABA/ or LABA/inhaled glucocorticoid, n=107) for 26 weeks under clinical practice conditions.

Aim: To evaluate interleukin (IL)-1β concentrations in periapical tissue fluid (PTF) in persistent apical periodontitis requiring endodontic retreatment and to compare the levels of IL-1β with chronic apical periodontitis, symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP), normal pulpal, and periapical tissues.
Materials And Methods: The patients were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into 4 groups based on the pulpal and periapical status: Posttreatment endodontic diseases (PTED): Teeth with PTED due to failed primary root canal treatment having periapical radiolucency. PNAP: Teeth requiring root canal treatment due to pulpal necrosis having periapical radiolucency.
Dioscorea bulbifera is an edible yam specie with aerial bulbils. Assessing the genetic diversity of D. bulbifera accession for cultivation and breeding purposes is essential for it genetic improvement, especially where the crop faces minimal attention.

Aim: This study aims to design chemically crosslinked thiolated cyclodextrin-based hydrogels and to evaluate their mucoadhesive properties via mucosal residence time studies on porcine small intestinal mucosa and on porcine buccal mucosa.
Methods: Free thiol groups of heptakis(6-deoxy-6-thio)-β-cyclodextrin (β-CD-SH) were S-protected with 2-mercaptoethanesulfonic acid (MESNA) followed by crosslinking with citric acid. Cytotoxicity was assessed by hemolysis as well as resazurin assay.
