There are very real fears that the antibiotic era may soon be over. Increased use of antibiotics is a major factor in the widespread emergence of antibiotic resistance, which now exists in most of the common bacterial pathogens affecting children. Health-care workers must become aware that the implications are very serious and learn to use these valuable drugs with care.

Selective outcome reporting concerning antibiotics and third molar surgery.

Clin Oral Investig

January 2025

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dentistry, University of São Paulo, Av. Prof. Lineu Prestes, 2227 - Cidade Universitária, São Paulo, 05508-000, Brazil.

Objectives: This study evaluates the selective outcome reporting (SOR) in clinical trials on antibiotic use in third molar surgeries. It explores how SOR may bias results and affect systematic reviews, potentially leading to misinterpretations of intervention efficacy.

Materials And Methods: A search was conducted on "ClinicalTrials.

Burn wounds are challenging to treat due to considerable tissue damage and fluid loss. Creating wound dressings from natural and biological materials makes it possible to treat wounds and promote rapid epithelialization to speed healing and restore skin function. As a result, the ability of a collagen scaffold (Col) made from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and putative bioactive phytochemical components from a Sargassum glaucescens (S.

Background: The brain is shielded from the peripheral circulation by central nervous system (CNS) barriers, comprising the well-known blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the less recognized blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier located within the brain ventricles. The gut microbiota represents a diverse and dynamic population of microorganisms that can influence the health of the host, including the development of neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the intricate mechanisms governing the interplay between the gut and brain remain elusive, and the means by which gut-derived signals traverse the CNS barriers remain unclear.

Background: Cardiovascular disease causes vascular dementia and contributes to most clinical dementia. This is embodied in the concept of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). The potent endogenous peptide endothelin-1 (ET1) causes small artery vasoconstriction and fibrosis.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

Neurophysiology Unit, Cardiac Electrophysiology Research and Training Center, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Background: Doxorubicin (Dox), a chemotherapeutic agent, is known to cause chemobrain leading to cognitive decline and brain mitochondrial dysfunction. Ivabradine (Iva), hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel blocker used for angina and arrhythmia, has been shown to be an anticonvulsant, antioxidant, and neuroprotective agent. However, the effects of Iva on cognitive function, and brain mitochondrial function in Dox-induced chemobrain are still not determined.
