In a groundbreaking investigation, researchers have delved into the profound interconnection between Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) among elderly individuals grappling with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study, involving 257 elderly T2DM patients, presents compelling insights into the intricate relationship between Vitamin D levels and the development of peripheral nerve […]
China: A recent study showed a decline in the risks of all-cause, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality with increased intake of dietary flavonoids in US adults. The finding, published in Scientific Reports, may be related to anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-oxidative stress properties of flavonol. Foods rich in flavonols include onions, tea, […]
Keratinized mucosal width, supracrestal tissue height and implant diameter may influence peri-implant marginal bone loss suggests a new study published in the Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research. There is evidence that the apico-coronal implant position and the mucosal phenotype can affect the extent of peri-implant bone loss. This clinical trial analyzes the bone remodeling […]
While the association between air pollution and mortality is well-documented, few studies have utilized causal modeling approaches to comprehensively account for spatiotemporal confounders. A recent cross-sectional study aimed to estimate the relationship between short-term changes in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations and daily all-cause mortality rates across four regions. This study […]
UK: A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed similar small deficits in memory, thinking, or concentrating (“brain fog”) among COVID-19 patients recovering from short-term symptoms versus those with longer-term symptoms. “Subjects with resolved persistent symptoms after COVID-19 had objectively measured cognitive function comparable to that in participants with shorter-duration symptoms,” […]
A new study from the Texas A&M University School of Public Health suggests that city dwellers who have more exposure to urban green spaces require fewer mental health services. The study, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, was conducted by Jay Maddock, Ph.D., Regents Professor of environmental and occupational health […]
A recent study published in the recent edition of Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases unveiled the pivotal role of pediatric transoesophageal echocardiography probes in the perioperative evaluation of congenital heart disease surgeries. This innovative approach promises the enhanced safety and precision of echocardiography in pediatric cardiac interventions. This study was conducted over the span of four years […]
According to a study published in Gastroenterology, Endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder stenting or ETGS can help prevent recurrent cholecystitis in acute cholecystitis patients with Common bile duct stones who have deferred cholecystectomy for three months. Most recurrences occurred within three months in those who did not receive ETGS. Endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder stenting (ETGS) has been proposed […]
Participants in the Framingham Heart Study who achieved higher levels of education tended to age more slowly and went on to live longer lives as compared to those who did not achieve upward educational mobility, according to a new study at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and The Robert N. Butler Columbia Aging […]
