Objective: This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between ERCC1 and XPC polymorphisms and the risk of head and neck cancer (HNC), incorporating more studies and additional analyses.
Design: An exhaustive search of various databases, including PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library was carried out, up until November 18, 2023, to identify pertinent studies. The Review Manager 5.3 software was employed to calculate the effect sizes, which were presented as the odds ratio (OR) along with a 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results: The study found that the T allele (OR = 1.11; p-value = 0.02; 95%CI: 1.02, 1.22) and the TT genotype rs2228000 polymorphism in both the homozygous model (OR = 1.61, p-value = 0.02; 95%CI: 1.07, 2.42) and the recessive model (OR = 1.53; p-value = 0.02; 95%CI: 1.06, 2.22) had statistically significant associations. However, no significant associations were found for rs11615, rs3212986, rs735482, rs2228001, and PAT polymorphisms in any genetic models.
Conclusions: The meta-analysis revealed significant associations for the T allele and TT genotype rs2228000 polymorphism, but not for rs11615, rs3212986, rs735482, rs2228001, and PAT polymorphisms. The results highlight the impact of factors such as ethnicity, cancer subtype, and control source on these associations, emphasizing the intricate nature of genetic interactions in disease risk.

To investigate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of young children in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) of silver diammine fluoride (SDF) and five percent sodium fluoride varnish (NaFV) to manage early childhood caries (ECC). Children younger than 72 months of age with active dentinal caries lesions (ICDAS 5 or 6) in primary teeth received two applications of 38 percent SDF and five percent NaFV as part of an RCT testing three different frequency regimes (one, four, and six months apart). The Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) questionnaire was completed at three study visits.

The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the predictive effect of serum uric acid (SUA) (UA) level in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OCABG) surgery. The present descriptive-analytical study included 144 patients who underwent OCABG and met the inclusion criteria.

Heparin is an anticoagulant used invariably in all cardiac surgery. Heparin dosing and its reversal were determined by monitoring activated clotting time (ACT). Intermittent heparin dosing after initial bolus dose is widely practiced to maintain ACT level 200-300 seconds in Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB).
