Periodontitis represents a prevalent oral pathological condition. Various supplementary local therapies are utilized in clinical practice. Recently introduced, topical oxygen therapy exhibits the potential to effectively hinder the growth of plaque (bacterial biofilm). Delivered in the form of an oral gel, this formulation contains cellulose, glycerol, and sodium peroxoborate, releasing topical oxygen in a regulated manner. Additionally, it discharges topical oxygen and lactoferrin in a controlled manner, with the former showcasing antibacterial properties and the latter stimulating bone cell activity. The primary objective of this particular case study is to present a scenario of periodontitis featuring deep periodontal pockets, which was effectively managed through clinical treatment with the use of adjunctive topical oxygen-releasing gel (bluem).

Numerous diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration, can lead to retinal neovascularization, which can seriously impair the visual function and potentially result in blindness. The presence of the blood-retina barrier makes it challenging for ocularly administered drugs to penetrate physiological barriers and reach the ocular posterior segments, including the retina and choroid. Herein, we developed an innovative bifunctional peptide, Tat-C-RP7, which exhibits excellent penetration capabilities and antiangiogenic properties aimed at treating retinal neovascularization diseases.

Background: In resource-limited settings, advanced airway management tools like fiberoptic bronchoscopes are often unavailable, creating challenges for managing difficult airways. We present the case of a 25-year-old male with post-burn contractures of the face, neck, and thorax in Nigeria, who had been repeatedly denied surgery due to the high risk of airway management complications. This case highlights how an awake intubation was safely performed using an Airtraq laryngoscope, the only device available, as fiberoptic intubation was not an option.

Background: Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the pathological process of dry eye disease. Our previous results suggested that norepinephrine (NE) has a protective effect on dry eye.
Purpose: This study explored the potential therapeutic role and underlying mechanisms of NE in benzalkonium chloride (BAC)-induced dry eye disease.

Levels of tissue oxygenation and collagen regeneration are critical indicators in the early evaluation of wound healing. Traditionally, these factors have been assessed using separate instruments and different methodologies. Here, we adopt the spatially averaged phosphorescence lifetime approach using Re-diimine complexes (Re-probe) to enable simultaneous quantification of these two critical factors in healing wounds.
