Objective: Bleeding disorders are a very important health problem due to the associated high risk of hemorrhage during dental procedures. The present study aimed to investigate oral manifestations of inherited disorders of platelet function (IDPF).
Methods: The study included 20 IDPF patients (mean age: 31.90±10.71 years) and 40 healthy controls (mean age: 31.63±9.07 years). Tooth brushing habits, level of education, and clinical index scores (Simplified Oral Hygiene Index [OHI-S], Decayed Missing Filled Teeth Index [DMFT] index, probing depth [PD] index, Gingival Bleeding Index [GBI], and Community Periodontal Index [CPI]) were recorded.
Results: There weren't any significant differences between the 2 groups with respect to tooth brushing habit, level of education level, OHI-S, DMFT index, or CPI (p>0.05), whereas significant differences in PD index and GBI were observed between the groups (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The present study's findings show that IDPF has a negative effect on periodontal tissues.

Introduction: LDL-cholesterol greater than 190 mg/dL indicates severe hypercholesterolemia (HS) of monogenic and/or polygenic origin. Genetic risk scores (GRS) evaluate potential polygenic causes.
Objective: we applied a GRS of 6-SNP (GRS-6) in HS individuals.

Background: Central nervous system (CNS)-active polypharmacy (defined as concurrent exposure to three or more antidepressant, antipsychotic, antiseizure, benzodiazepine, opioid, or nonbenzodiazepine benzodiazepine receptor agonists) is associated with significant potential harms in persons living with dementia (PLWD).We conducted a pilot trial to assess a patient nudge intervention's implementation feasibility and preliminary effectiveness to prompt deprescribing conversations between PLWD experiencing CNS-active polypharmacy and their primary care clinicians ("clinicians").
Methods: We used the electronic health record to identify PLWD prescribed CNS-active polypharmacy in primary care clinics from two health systems.
Exploring the mechanism of Radix Bupleuri in the treatment of depression combined with SARS-CoV-2 infection through bioinformatics, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamic simulation.

Background: Radix Bupleuri is commonly used in treating depression and acute respiratory diseases such as SARS-CoV-2 infection in China. However, its underlying mechanism in treating major depressive disorder combined with SARS-CoV-2 infection remains unclear.
Aim: This study aims to elucidate the pharmacological mechanisms of Radix Bupleuri in treating major depressive disorder combined with SARS-CoV-2 infection, employing bioinformatics, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and dynamic simulation techniques.

This study presents the first reported case of a Korean patient with Alpha-1,3-Mannosyltransferase-Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (ALG3-CDG), characterized by a novel maternally inherited missense mutation and a previously reported paternally inherited nonsense mutation. The patient exhibited typical ALG3-CDG manifestations, including developmental delays, epilepsy, and multisystem involvement, alongside a diagnosis of Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). Cannabidiol therapy, combined with dietary management, led to seizure freedom for over 13 months, significant EEG improvement, and enhanced developmental outcomes.

This study evaluates the relationship between CVH levels from LE8 and mortality risk, considering biological aging's role. Using data from the NHANES non-CVD adult population, CVH scores were categorized as low (< 50), moderate (50-79), and high (≥ 80) per AHA guidelines.
