Summary: Obesity, especially abdominal obesity, is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism. This study used genetic data and summary-level epidemiological data to demonstrate a causal relationship between waist circumference/hip circumference and the risk of VTE and PE. Measures to reduce obesity may help decrease the incidence of VTE and PE.

Summary: This study investigated the potential causal association between obesity and periodontal diseases using Mendelian randomization. The results suggest that obesity may be causally associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and loose teeth, but not with the single trait periodontitis.

Summary: Exposure to metal-(loid)-s is identified as a key factor in the prevalence of abdominal obesity in rural areas of China. Urinary chromium consistently emerges as the top contributor to abdominal obesity, and the overall effect of mixed metal-(loid)-s is positive. The elevation of apolipoprotein B and systolic blood pressure significantly mediate the association between urinary chromium and the odds of having abdominal obesity.

Summary: A meta-analysis in 2017 summarized the association between abdominal obesity and hip fracture, but no study has examined the dose-response association. In this study, the association between abdominal obesity and different types of bone fractures was investigated through a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis. The results showed a significant positive association between abdominal obesity and risk of vertebral fracture.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in weight among Australian adults over a year and found that weight gain was more prominent during Christmas/New Year, weekends, and winter seasons. This suggests the need for targeted interventions to prevent weight gain during these high-risk periods.

Summary: Waist circumference is a significant predictor of adverse outcomes, and this study investigated the correlation between abdominal obesity patterns and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Data from 4467 adults without NAFLD were analyzed, and participants were classified into four groups based on their two-year waist circumference patterns. The results showed that persistent and progressed abdominal obesity were associated with a higher risk of NAFLD in both genders, while maintaining a lean waist circumference was more effective in preventing NAFLD in men.

Summary: Bio-mimicked GTR/GBR membranes with hierarchical structured surfaces were developed by replicating teak leaf surfaces, showing micro-trichomes and micro-depression patterns. The surfaces enhanced cell proliferation, with increasing roughness and decreasing contact angle leading to significant proliferation. The hierarchical structured surface is suggested as an important design for enhancing bioactivity.

Summary: Periodontal and peri-implant regeneration aims to restore damaged tissues around teeth and implants with a tailored approach based on the specific characteristics of each site. Current clinical practice relies on bone grafts, membranes for guided tissue regeneration, growth factors, and stem cells, combined with a patient-centered approach to achieve optimal results and reduce patient morbidity. Tissue engineering is constantly advancing, with a combination of biomaterials as the preferred choice in many cases for achieving reliable outcomes.

Summary: This study evaluates and compares the effect of surface roughness (Ra) and color stability on different CAD/CAM restorative materials immersed in hot Arabic Qahwa and cold coffee. Results show an increase in Ra without significant difference, but significant color changes were observed. The color changes caused by hot Arabic Qahwa and cold coffee on the CAD/CAM restorative materials were clinically acceptable.

Summary: The study aimed to develop a multi-epitope vaccine targeting P. gingivalis, utilizing B- and T-cell epitopes from specific peptides. The designed vaccine showed high antigenicity and stability, interacting strongly with CXCR4(TLR2) through molecular docking, suggesting a potential effective immune response against P. gingivalis.

Summary: Propolis, a resinous material produced by honeybees, has shown promising antibacterial properties for treating gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis. With high antibacterial activity, it damages cell membranes and inhibits cell mobility. Propolis also displays anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antifungal action, making it effective in the treatment of various oral infections. Development of standardized methodology is recommended for its safer and effective use in clinical settings.

Summary: This study evaluated the antiplaque and antibacterial efficacy of commercially available mouthwashes containing aloe vera, hydrogen peroxide, and cetylpyridinium chloride. The results showed that the mouthwash containing aloe vera had similar efficacy to cetylpyridinium chloride and was significantly better than the mouthwash containing hydrogen peroxide. These findings suggest that aloe vera mouthwash can serve as a natural alternative to chemically formulated mouthwashes.

Summary: This network meta-analysis ranked different biomaterials used in adjunct to coronally advanced flap (CAF) for root-coverage in Miller's Class I and II gingival recessions. The study concluded that CTG, ADM, platelet concentrates, and CM + GFs showed improved stability, better percentage of root coverage, and improved keratinized gingival width over ≥ 12 months of follow-up.

Summary: CAD/CAM technology is increasingly used in the fabrication of dentures, offering advantages such as better fit, reduced appointments, and improved patient satisfaction. Computer-engineered complete dentures (CECDs) have distinct material and manufacturing processes compared to conventional dentures. Patients reported higher satisfaction with CECDs, and CAD/CAM technology enables precision and reproducibility in the fabrication process.

Summary: This systematic review compares the treatment efficacy of resorbable and non-resorbable barrier membranes in guided tissue regeneration for intrabony defects in patients with chronic periodontitis. The results show that the resorbable membrane group had significant improvements in gingival recession coverage and intrabony defect fill, avoiding the need for a second surgical intervention.

Summary: The goal of this study was to compare marginal bone loss after 1-year implant placement in grafted and non-grafted sites. The results showed no significant difference in marginal bone loss between the two groups after using a bioactive glass bone graft. The guided implant surgical protocol provided a better position for implant placement and preserved the marginal bone around implants.
