Context: Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is possible by bone remodeling that takes place during orthodontic therapy. The rate at which teeth move is determined by a variety of factors that can impact bone remodeling. Vitamins are well-known antioxidants that influence bone turnover.
Objective: This scoping review was designed to appraise the effects of the local and systemic administration of vitamins C, D, and E principally on fixed orthodontic treatment, retention, and relapse.
Method: A scoping review protocol was applied following the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis Guidelines for Scoping Reviews. A detailed search strategy, including main keywords and synonyms, was applied in the following electronic databases: PubMed (via MEDLINE), Embase (via Ovid), Cochrane Library, and Web of Sciences, for articles published in English in the past 10 years.
Results: The database online search identified 70 potential articles. After removing duplicates, 39 full-text articles were independently evaluated. Eighteen studies were discarded. The remaining 21 studies were finally included. Of these selected studies, 8 were conducted on animals, 9 were conducted with human participants, 1 was an in vitro study, and 3 were systematic reviews. One systematic review and meta-analysis was also included.
Conclusion: Based on a variety of animal and human investigations, the findings of this scoping review imply that vitamins C, D, and E accelerate OTM by facilitating the bone remodeling process. However, more powerful randomized clinical trials are still required to reinforce the knowledge of vitamins' influence on orthodontic therapy.

Innovative care models: Expanding nurses' and optometrists' roles in ophthalmology.
Nurs Ethics
March 2025
Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore; Uehiro Oxford Institute, University of Oxford.
The expanding demands of healthcare necessitate novel methods of increasing the supply of trained professionals to enhance the delivery of care services. One means of doing so is to expand allied health professionals' scope of practice. This paper explores the ethics of two examples of such expansion in ophthalmology, comparing the widely accepted practice of nurses administering intravitreal injections and the relatively less prevalent optometrists functioning as physician extenders.

Critically ill patients that require kidney replacement therapy (KRT) are among the most ill and complex patients routinely encountered in the intensive care unit (ICU). Continuous KRT (CKRT) is used across many ICUs as the therapy of choice for hemodynamically unstable patients with kidney failure. Though existing trials have not shown superior survival or kidney recovery with CKRT relative to intermittent KRT, CKRT has largely become the standard of care in developed nations for the treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with shock, acute brain injury, acute liver failure, and other forms of critical illness.

Flexible devices are soft, lightweight, and portable, making them suitable for large-area applications. These features significantly expand the scope of electronic devices and demonstrate their unique value in various fields, including smart wearable devices, medical and health monitoring, human-computer interaction, and brain-computer interfaces. Protein materials, due to their unique molecular structure, biological properties, sustainability, self-assembly ability, and good biocompatibility, can be applied in electronic devices to significantly enhance the sensitivity, stability, mechanical strength, energy density, and conductivity of the devices.

An interprofessional collaborative approach has nowadays been widely advocated in knee OA management although little is known about the characteristics of care, roles and responsibilities of healthcare providers and how they collaborate as a team to optimise treatment outcomes. The Donabedian structure-process-outcome framework was used in the review.
