Denture stomatitis, periodontitis, and peri-implantitis are the growing problems in restorative dentistry. Chemicals play an important role as an adjuvant to mechanical cleaning of teeth, implants, surrounding tissues, and prostheses. Current mouth rinses are reported to affect the tissues and prostheses if used on a long-term basis. Sodium bicarbonate, the common baking soda, has been reported to be versatile. A search of the resources through Medline and Google Scholar was made to understand the current status of the mouth rinses and the use of sodium bicarbonate. Different MeSH and search criteria were used for the different search engines. Baking soda, being a common household item, with its ready availability, safety, minimal abrasivity, and bactericidal property makes it a patient-friendly mouthwash, component in the dentifrice, or chewing gum, which can be used on a long-term basis as an adjunct virtually free of any side effects.

Purpose: Perioperative metabolic acidosis negatively affects patient outcomes. Perioperative fluid therapy has a clinically significant effect on acid-base balance. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of isotonic sodium bicarbonate infusion (ISB) versus balanced crystalloid solution (BCS) on perioperative acid-base balance, in terms of postoperative base excess, among patients undergoing emergency laparotomy for perforation peritonitis.

Groundwater toxicity and water level depletion are serious concerns today. Assessing groundwater quality (GWQ) is crucial for effective planning and management due to increasing demands for drinking and irrigation water. Therefore, this study aims to analyze groundwater hydrochemistry, variability, and factors influencing quality for drinking and irrigation purposes using indices and models.

Uranium poisoning, particularly from exposure to Depleted Uranium (DU), occurs when uranyl ions enter the bloodstream and bind primarily to transferrin, osteopontin, and albumin before entering cells via corresponding receptors on renal tubular membranes, leading to cellular damage. Uranium poisoning remains a significant clinical challenge, with no ideal treatment currently available. In this study, we investigate the therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (MSC-EXs) in mice exposed to DU.

Background: This study aims to identify the factors influencing the risk of lactic acidosis (LA) in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) and to develop a predictive model for assessing the risk of LA in IS patients during their stay in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Methods: A retrospective cohort design was employed, with data collected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-III and MIMIC-IV databases spanning from 2001 to 2019. LA was defined as pH < 7.
