Aim: To determine the impact of the degree of furcation involvement (FI) on the longevity of molar teeth and assess the risk variables (tooth- and patient-related factors) associated with the loss of molars (LM) in individuals treated for periodontitis and monitored in a private programme of supportive periodontal care (SPC).
Materials And Methods: The present retrospective cohort study included 222 individuals with 1329 molars under a 10-year monitoring period in SPC. Periodontal clinical parameters, FI, the type of molar, pulp vitality, and other variables of interest were collected at approximately 50 days after active periodontal therapy and after 10 years. The association of tooth- and patient-related factors with LM was assessed using a multilevel Cox regression analysis.
Results: Two-hundred and thirty-five molars were extracted during the SPC period of 12.4 ± 1.9 years. Age >50 years, male gender, diabetes, smoking, and non-compliance were identified as relevant patient-related factors for LM during SPC (p < .05). Significant tooth-related factors for LM were bleeding on probing (BoP) and probing depth (PD) ≥5 mm, tooth non-vitality, and class II and III FI (p < .05).
Conclusions: Class III FI, tooth non-vitality, higher mean PD and BoP, age, male gender, diabetes, and smoking all strongly influenced the prognosis of molars during SPC.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and factors related to depression and anxiety among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the UK, revealing that significant portions experience these mental health issues.
- Participants completed an online survey that assessed mental health history and treatment preferences, finding that over half had a history of diagnosed depression and many preferred in-person support.
- The results indicated that certain demographics, including age and gender, as well as factors like self-efficacy and current treatment, were significantly related to the levels of depression and anxiety symptoms, but differences in symptoms were not influenced by the kidney service centers’ location or size.

Background: Tumour type, treatment and patient related factors contribute to cancer associated venous thromboembolism (VTE), however, the role of each factor and the mechanisms involved are not understood.
Aim: To assess the role of the tumour, and of chemotherapy, in mediating the procoagulant response associated with VTE in gynaecological cancer patients.
Methods: Gynaecological cancer patients who developed VTE during follow-up (n = 59) (VTE+) were matched with treatment naïve(treatment (-)(VTE-)(n = 120) and chemotherapy treated patients(treatment (+)(VTE-) (n = 57)).

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a malignancy characterized by abnormal production of monoclonal immunoglobulins in plasma cells. Bispecific antibodies have emerged as a significant advancement in MM treatment, offering high effectiveness and specificity by targeting different antigens such as BCMA, CD38, and FcRH5. However, the risk of infection poses a major challenge in MM patients, which is thought to be influenced by various factors.
