Vaginitis is the most common problem afflicting women of childbearing age. However, the underlying etiological factors remain poorly understood, leading to recurrent vaginitis and constraining clinical management. Here, we explored whether the gut microbiota influences the risk of vaginitis by performing a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis using the largest genome-wide association studies to date.

Introduction: The primary aim of this study was to assess the amount and long-term stability of orthodontically created bone in patients with agenesis of maxillary lateral incisors after canine distalization. The secondary aim was to explore the impact of patient age on the process of alveolar bone resorption.
Methods: A group of patients with agenesis of the maxillary permanent lateral incisor was examined at 4 time points: the beginning of orthodontic treatment (T1, n = 80), the end of treatment (T2, n = 80), 2-5 years after treatment (T3, n = 79), and 12-15 years after treatment (T4, n = 32).
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease associated with significant comorbidities, including cardiovascular and respiratory complications, leading to increased hospitalization rates in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and Cardiac Intensive Care Units (CICUs). This study examines factors related to ICU/CICU admissions among Polish RA patients from 2011 to 2021.
Objectives: The study aims to analyze trends in ICU/CICU admissions, identify key factors influencing outcomes, and assess the impact of comorbidities on RA patient ICU/CICU mortality in critical care settings.

Unlabelled: The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in infant health, with its development during the first 1,000 days influencing health outcomes. Understanding the relationships within the microbiota is essential to linking its maturation process to these outcomes. Several network-based methods have been developed to analyze the developing patterns of infant microbiota, but evaluating the reliability and effectiveness of these approaches remains a challenge.
