Article Synopsis
  • Periodontitis is a common inflammatory disease that can severely impact oral and overall health, and while traditional smoking is a known risk factor, the effect of e-cigarettes on gum health is not well understood.
  • This systematic review analyzed data from twelve studies comparing periodontal outcomes between e-cigarette users and non-users, noting that e-cigarette users had a significantly lower bleeding on probing (BOP) score.
  • The research suggests no strong evidence linking e-cigarette use to major negative impacts on periodontal health, but further comprehensive studies are needed to assess long-term effects and clarify any potential risks.

Despite the ongoing progress in detecting and treating cancer, there is still a need for extensive research into the molecular mechanisms involved in the emergence, progression, and resistance to recurrence of female reproductive tissue-specific cancers such as ovarian, breast, cervical, and endometrial cancers. The nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that exhibits increased expression in female tumors. Moreover, elevated levels of NEAT1 have been associated with poorer survival outcomes in cancer patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Wearable sensors like Seismocardiography (SCG) offer non-invasive cardiac health monitoring, but challenges from motion artefacts, primarily caused by walking, limit their effectiveness.
  • The Adaptive Bidirectional Filtering (ABF) technique improves SCG signal quality by using advanced noise-cancellation and a unique filtering process that distinguishes between actual heart signals and motion noise.
  • Empirical tests show ABF achieves high accuracy in heart rate estimation (r-squared value of 0.95 at -20 dB SNR) and effectively reduces motion artefacts without needing ECG inputs, making it suitable for use in noisy settings.

Monolayer 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) show high sensitivity to the local dielectric environment, leading to modulation of their optoelectronic properties. Here, we report on the formation of localized trions in a MoS/few-layer graphene van der Waals heterostructure. We performed temperature-dependent photoluminescence and Raman studies down to 80 K, to understand the mechanism for localized charge excitation, which shows contrasting behaviour with MoS/SiO.

Focusing on practical engineering applications, this study introduces the Multi-Objective Resistance-Capacitance Optimization Algorithm (MORCOA), a new approach for multi-objective optimization problems. MORCOA uses the transient response behaviour of resistance-capacitance circuits to navigate complex optimization landscapes and identify global optima when faced with many competing objectives. The core approach of MORCOA combines a dynamic elimination-based crowding distance mechanism with non-dominated sorting to generate an ideal and evenly distributed Pareto front.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) still prevails and continues to increase indiscriminately throughout the 21st century, and is thus responsible for the depreciating quality of health and associated sectors. AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder marked by a significant amassment of beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles near the hippocampus, leading to the consequent loss of cognitive abilities. Conventionally, amyloid and tau hypotheses have been established as the most prominent in providing detailed insight into the disease pathogenesis and revealing the associative biomarkers intricately involved in AD progression.
