This study looked at whether using a diode laser with standard deep cleaning helps treat gum disease around dental implants (peri-implantitis). 39 adults with the condition were split into three groups: cleaning alone, laser alone, or both together. Researchers measured gum healt…

This study tested a new diagnostic tool called Premaquick, which measures three markers in vaginal fluid, to see if it can better predict whether a woman with threatened preterm labor will deliver within 7 days. Researchers compared it to the standard fetal fibronectin test in 22…

This study tested whether injecting vitamins C or E into the gums could help teeth move faster and reduce pain during braces treatment. 51 people with crowded teeth received either a vitamin shot or a placebo every two weeks for six months. Researchers measured tooth movement, ro…

This study looked at 51 people with healthy teeth, mild tooth inflammation (reversible pulpitis), or severe tooth inflammation (irreversible pulpitis). Researchers collected samples from the tooth pulp, gum fluid, and dentin to measure three chemicals (IL-8, FGF-1, VEGF) linked t…

This study looked at 174 older adults (ages 65-80) having lumbar fusion surgery to see if one type of IV fluid (sodium acetate Ringer's) protects the kidneys better than another (sodium lactate Ringer's). Researchers measured kidney injury markers in urine and blood after surgery…

This study looked at whether injecting a substance made from a patient's own blood (called i-PRF) into the gums around an infected tooth could improve healing. Sixty adults with chronic tooth infections received standard root canal treatment; half also got the i-PRF injection. Re…

This study looked back at medical records of 250 adults admitted to the ICU with suspected sepsis. Researchers checked if common blood tests (like PCT, CRP, albumin, lactate, and white blood cell counts) could predict which patients died within 28 days. The goal was to see if the…

This study looked at how regular exercise changes certain proteins in the blood that are linked to oxidative stress and antioxidant defenses. Researchers compared 15 young women who exercised regularly for at least a year with 15 who did not. They measured two markers in the bloo…

This study looked at 48 older adults (ages 65-80) having heart bypass surgery to see if a small molecule called microRNA-151-5p is linked to memory and thinking problems after the operation. Researchers measured levels of this molecule and inflammation markers in the blood before…

This study looked at the eating habits and health of 1,852 healthy children and teenagers in Switzerland. Researchers collected information on what they ate, took blood and urine samples, and measured things like weight and blood pressure. The goal was to understand the nutrition…
