Aim: To elucidate whether ranked probing depth (PD) data translate into ranked PD outcomes after 10 years of follow-up and the associated tooth loss.
Materials And Methods: From the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-START), all participants were retrospectively included with complete PD measurements in both baseline and 10-year follow-up, comprising 1887 participants. The trajectory of percentile-based quintiles of mean PD measurements was followed.

Hepatolenticular degeneration, also known as Wilson's disease, is a type of autosomal recessive genetic disorder of copper metabolism. The causative gene, ATP7B, is located on the long arm of chromosome 13 and encodes a P-type ATPase that is involved in copper transport. Pathogenic mutations in the ATP7B gene sequence lead to the diminished or lost function of the ATP7B protein, resulting in pathological copper deposition in organs such as the liver, brain, kidneys, and cornea.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) more than 14% of the world's food production is lost every year before reaching retail, and another 17% is lost during the retail stage. The use of the expiration date as the main estimator of the life-end of food products creates unjustified food waste. Sensors capable of quantifying the effective food freshness and quality could substantially reduce food waste and enable more effective management of the food chain.

The use of dental implants to replace lost or damaged teeth has become increasingly widespread due to their reported high survival and success rates. In reality, the long-term survival of dental implants remains a health concern, based on their short-term predicted survival of ~15 years, significant potential for jawbone resorption, and risk of peri-implantitis. The ability to create functional bioengineered teeth, composed of living tissues with properties similar to those of natural teeth, would be a significant improvement over currently used synthetic titanium implants.

Background/objectives: Low fasting blood lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) activity is associated with the pathogenesis of metabolic hepatic steatosis. We measured LAL activity in blood and plasma before and after an oral fat tolerance test (OFTT) in patients with metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Methods: Twenty-six controls and seventeen patients with MASLD but without diabetes were genotyped for the patatin-like phospholipase 3 (PNPLA3) rs738409 variant by RT-PCR and subjected to an OFTT, measuring LAL activity in blood and plasma with a fluorimetric method.
