Customized Healing Abutments for Immediately Placed Implants tied to Favorable Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Outcomes: Study

Customized Healing Abutments for Immediately Placed Implants are tied to Favorable Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Outcomes suggests a study published in The International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants.  A study was done to evaluate the peri-implant outcomes of customized healing abutments (CstHA) placed on dental implants inserted in fresh tooth extraction sockets. Materials and Methods: […]

Febuxostat Use Among Gout Patients Linked to Increased Cardiovascular Risk in new study

Us of Febuxostat linked to increased CV risk among Asians suggests a new study published in the Clinical and Translational Science. The cardiovascular (CV) safety of febuxostat compared to allopurinol for the treatment of hyperuricemia among Asian patients is uncertain. In this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the CV safety […]

Twice-daily PPI dosage improves outcomes among patients of eosinophilic esophagitis: Study

A recent study by Mayssan Muftah and colleagues explored the most effective dosing strategies for treating Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) which is a chronic immune system disease that affects the esophagus. The key findings of this study were published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology. Eosinophilic Esophagitis is marked by the accumulation of eosinophils in the […]

Social Isolation Accelerates Biological Aging and Increases Mortality

A recent study conducted by researchers at Mayo Clinic sheds light on the detrimental effects of social isolation, revealing its association with accelerated biological aging and increased mortality risk. These findings underscore the importance of social connections in maintaining overall health and well-being. This study was published in the journal JACC Advances. The study was […]

Sweeteners don’t increase appetite, suggests new evidence from randomised controlled trial

Replacing sugar with artificial and natural sweeteners in foods does not make people hungrier-and also helps to reduce blood sugar levels, a significant new study has found. The double blind randomised controlled trial found that consuming food containing sweeteners produced a similar reduction in appetite sensations and appetite-related hormone responses as sugary foods – and […]

Study reveals bidirectional link between premenstrual disorders and perinatal depression

A study from Karolinska Institutet published in the journal PLOS Medicine has revealed a bidirectional link between premenstrual disorders and perinatal depression. Acccording to the  study,  Women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) have a higher risk of perinatal depression. Conversely, women with perinatal depression have a higher risk of developing premenstrual […]

Bone scintigraphy combined with integrated SPECT/CT advantageous in differentiating prosthetic infection from loosening: study

Prosthetic loosening and infection are still common complications after joint replacement. Over the past few years, single-photon emission computed tomography–computed tomography (SPECT/CT) was widely used and showed unique value based on the combination of anatomic and metabolic information of foci. However, its performance in differentiating between prosthetic loosening and periprosthetic infection after joint replacement is […]

No increased risk of stroke in older adults who received COVID-19 bivalent vaccine: JAMA

USA: In a self-controlled case series of 11,000 Medicare beneficiaries age 65 or older, the primary analysis showed no evidence of a significantly increased risk of stroke during the days immediately following the administration of either brand of the COVID-19 bivalent vaccine. “In the Medicare beneficiaries who experienced stroke following the administration of either brand […]
