The overview was carried out to evaluate the impact of antiresorptive drug (ARD) therapy in patients undergoing dental implant treatment who significantly experience medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) or not. A comprehensive electronic database search within the timeline of 2014-2024, restricted to the English language, was performed in database search engines like Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus. The articles were screened using the specific Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and Boolean operators 'OR' and 'AND'. Studies with patients having a history of ARD before, during, or following implant placement were included in the systematic review, without or with meta-analysis. The AMSTAR 2 (A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews) tool was utilized to evaluate the quality of the papers. This review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database (CRD42024583017). There were 10 systematic reviews as per eligibility criteria. The total number of failed implants was 524, out of which the incidence of MRONJ was between the ranges of 2% and 17%. According to the AMSTAR 2 tool, 20% of the studies were rated as medium quality, 60% were rated as low quality, and 20% were rated as critically low quality. Three meta-analyses were observed for the event "MRONJ," and it found no statistically significant differences between dental implant users with ARD and non-ARD participants. The corroborative evidence presents that patients undergoing dental implants with ARD history significantly experience MRONJ if there is a lack of strategic planning of implant placement.

Background: Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are small-molecule compounds that exert agonist and antagonist effects on androgen receptors in a tissue-specific fashion. Because of their performance-enhancing implications, SARMs are increasingly abused by athletes. To date, SARMs have no Food and Drug Administration approved use, and recent case reports associate the use of SARMs with deleterious effects such as drug-induced liver injury, myocarditis, and tendon rupture.

Ethiopia hygiene practice during complementary feeding and associated factors; systematic review and meta-analysis.

BMC Pediatr

January 2025

Health Promotion and Health Behavior Department, Institute of Public Health, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia.

Background: Complementary feeding is crucial for infant growth, but poor hygiene during this period increases the risk of malnutrition and illness. In Ethiopia, national data on hygiene practices during complementary feeding, particularly among mothers of children aged 6-24 months, is limited. This study aims to synthesize existing data through a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the status of hygiene practices and identify key influencing factors, informing public health strategies to improve child health outcomes.

Background: There is evidence that exercise may reduce the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and improve other obstetric outcomes in overweight or obese pregnant women. However, the available evidence is of low quality and inconclusive. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of exercise, compared with usual care, in reducing GDM and other obstetric risks, in overweight and obese pregnant women.
