This study looked at whether using a diode laser along with standard deep cleaning helps treat peri-implantitis, an infection around dental implants. Thirty-nine adults with the condition were split into three groups: cleaning alone, laser alone, or both. Researchers measured gum…

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. The study involved 221 pregnant women between 24 and 34 weeks of pre…

This study tested whether injecting vitamins C or E near the teeth could help braces work better. 51 people getting braces received either a vitamin shot or a saltwater shot every few weeks for six months. Researchers measured how fast teeth moved, how much pain people felt, and …

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

This study looked at how regular exercise changes certain blood markers related to oxidative stress in healthy young women aged 18-25. Researchers compared 15 women who exercised regularly for at least a year with 15 women who did not exercise. They measured two markers in the bl…

This study looked at the eating habits, lifestyle, and health of 1,852 healthy children and teens aged 6 to 17 living in Switzerland. Researchers collected information through interviews, questionnaires, and blood/urine tests to understand what kids eat and how it affects their h…

This completed study looked at 51 people with healthy teeth, reversible pulpitis (mild inflammation), or irreversible pulpitis (severe inflammation). Researchers measured three inflammation-related proteins (IL-8, FGF-1, and VEGF) in tooth pulp, gum fluid, and dentin fluid. The g…

This study looked at 48 older adults (ages 65-80) who had coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers wanted to see if a small molecule called microRNA-151-5p, which is linked to inflammation, could help predict memory and thinking problems that sometimes occur after surgery. The…

This study looked at whether common blood tests can help predict the risk of death in people with suspected sepsis in the intensive care unit (ICU). Researchers reviewed records from 250 adults to see if levels of certain markers like PCT, CRP, and lactate were linked to survival…

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…
