The oral health needs of US veterans are an often overlooked aspect of their overall well-being. Veterans, especially those who have experienced military combat, face unique challenges, including the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), in their ability to access and receive dental care. Organizations like the Pacific Dental Services (PDS) Foundation, Veterans Legal Institute (VLI), and PDS Health are working to shed light on these challenges and discuss initiatives designed to improve oral healthcare for veterans.

Sanofi, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.
Rilzabrutinib is a covalent, reversible BTK inhibitor with multiple mechanisms targeting key immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) disease pathophysiology. The phase 3 LUNA3 study in previously treated adults with persistent/chronic ITP evaluated oral rilzabrutinib 400 mg bid (n=133) vs placebo (n=69) for 24 weeks. At baseline overall, median age was 47 years (range, 18-80), 63% female, 7.

Apoptosis is crucial for maintaining internal homeostasis. Apoptotic vesicles (ApoVs) derived from mesenchymal stem/ stromal cells (MSCs-ApoVs) as natural lipid nanoparticles are attractive candidates for the next generation of immunotherapies. However, the therapeutic potential of MSCs-ApoVs in managing hypersensitivity reactions mediated by CD8 T cells remains elusive.

Objective: Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion (RSA) impacts the physical and psychological well-being of women of reproductive age. This study aimed to reveal the potential mechanisms behind unexplained RSA from the perspective of glucose and lipid metabolic profiles before conception and their relationship with immune, coagulation, and inflammatory markers.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 100 patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion at our gynecology department from June 2022 to June 2023.
Comparative evaluation of chlorhexidine and benzalkonium chloride pretreatments on bond strength durability of immediate dentin sealing with universal adhesive: an in vitro study.

Department of Operative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran.
Background: Effective and durable bonding of immediate dentin sealing (IDS) is a crucial factor in the success of adhesive-bonded restorations. This study aimed to investigate the influence of chlorhexidine (CHX) and benzalkonium chloride (BAC) pretreatments on the immediate and aged bond strengths of a universal adhesive used in IDS across two etching modes.
Methods: Flat dentin surfaces were obtained from 120 molars and divided into six groups based on pretreatments (no treatment, CHX, and BAC) in two etching modes (etch-and-rinse (E&R) and self-etch (SE)) using All Bond Universal, in conjunction with a hydrophobic resin layer.
