Background: Diabetes mellitus and periodontitis are two common chronic diseases with bidirectional relationship. Considering the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of these two diseases, the use of nutritional supplements with antioxidant properties can be useful. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of daily synbiotic supplement in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and periodontal disease (PD) under non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT).

Background And Aims: Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) serves a dual function as a vitamin D carrier and actin scavenger. Free DBP is present in high concentrations in serum, while a smaller pool is bound to lipoproteins like HDL and VLDL. The role of DBP's interaction with lipoproteins remains unclear.

Introduction: The low incidence of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) in high-volume (HV) hemodiafiltration (HDF) may help in maintaining gut perfusion during treatment. Preservation of gut endothelial integrity would limit or prevent bacterial translocation and subsequent systemic inflammation, which may contribute to the low mortality rate in HV-HDF.
Methods: Forty patients were cross-over randomized to standard (hemodialysis [HD]) (S-HD), cool HD (C-HD), and HDF (low-volume [LV] and HV, convection volume (CV) of 15 L and ≥ 23 L per session, respectively), each for 2 weeks.

Inflammation is becoming increasingly recognised as a core feature of dementia with evidence indicating that its role may vary and adapt across different stages of the neurodegenerative process. This study aimed to investigate whether the associations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with neuropsychological performance (verbal memory, executive function, processing speed) and cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) differed between older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD; = 179) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI; = 286). Fasting serum hs-CRP concentrations were grouped into low (<1.

Several studies have reported associations between specific heavy metals and essential trace elements and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, there is limited understanding of the relationships between trace elements and AMI in real-life co-exposure scenarios, where multiple elements may interact simultaneously. This cross-sectional study measured serum levels of 56 trace elements using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
