Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the connection between radix entomolaris (RE) in permanent mandibular first molars and C-shaped canals (CSC) in mandibular second molars among Malaysian patients using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
- - Findings revealed that RE was present in 21.2% of first molars, while CSC appeared in 37.9% of second molars, with a co-occurrence rate of 6.5%.
- - Certain demographics, like females and those from Eastern Peninsular Malaysia, showed a higher association with CSC in second molars, highlighting the need for clinicians to be cautious during examinations to avoid endodontic complications.

Article Synopsis
- Prenatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and postnatal consumption of a trans fat diet (TFD) were studied to see their effects on the gut microbiome of rat offspring.
- *The research found that offspring on TFD had significantly lower diversity in their gut bacteria compared to those on a normal diet (ND), suggesting a major shift in their microbiome composition.
- *The findings indicate that postnatal diet may have a more substantial impact on gut health than prenatal BPA exposure, potentially leading to metabolic diseases in the offspring.
