Summary: Following tooth extraction, socket healing occurs with a marked reduction in ridge dimensions. The quantity and quality of socket walls influence ridge diminution. A damaged socket with fewer walls and a thin buccal bone wall negatively impact healing outcome. Periodontally compromised sockets lead to extensive dimensional changes. Angulation between tooth and basal bone, as well as basal bone dimensions, also affect socket healing. Anatomical characteristics of the alveolar process and basal bone play a role in socket healing.

Summary: Diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disease among dental patients, and it can delay the healing of tooth extraction sockets. Recent advances have been made in the management of wound healing in diabetic patients, but most interventions are still in the animal experimental stage. Our research suggests that topical administration of plasma-rich growth factor, advanced platelet-rich fibrin, leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin, hyaluronic acid, and maxillary immediate complete denture show promise for clinical management.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) using collagenated bovine bone mineral (CBBM) alone or particulated bovine bone mineral with a non-cross-linked collagen membrane (PBBM/NCLM) in tooth extraction sockets with buccal dehiscence in an experimental dog model. The results show that although the radiographic changes in the quality and quantity of bone were not significant between the two groups, the use of PBBM/NCLM resulted in greater horizontal dimensions and more favorable maintenance of the ridge profile.

Summary: This study observed the effects of inferior alveolar nerve transection on early bone healing in rat tooth extraction sockets. The results showed that nerve transection delayed bone healing and increased osteoclast activation. This may be related to the decreased expression of Nrf2.

Summary: To prevent the occurrence of dry socket after tooth extraction, it is necessary to develop a biomedical material with favorable antibacterial and excellent hemostatic properties. Quaternary ammonium chitosan/carboxymethyl starch/alginate (ACQ) sponges were developed using Ca2+ cross-linking, electrostatic interaction, and lyophilization methods. The sponges exhibited interconnected porous structures, significant fluid absorption rates, suitable water vapor transmission rates, and acceptable biocompatibility. They effectively inhibited the growth of bacteria and fungi, and achieved rapid hemostasis in animal models, indicating their potential as a hemostatic material for wound management after tooth extraction.

Summary: Kangfuxin (KFX) has potential in wound healing, but its role in socket healing remains unclear. This study found that KFX treatment increased bone mass, mineralization, and collagen deposition in mice. Further experiments showed that KFX treatment of stem cells promoted endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis, leading to increased vasculature and improved bone formation and mineralization in the extraction socket.

Summary: This study presents an inventory of large landslides along the western flank of the Central Andes, examining their controlling factors and characteristics. The research reveals that the largest landslides contribute significantly to the total area, with rockslides being the dominant type. Most of the identified landslides are paleo events and are potentially influenced by tectonic activity. Further dating analysis is needed to explore temporal correlations with seismic and climatic cycles.

Summary: The timing of fault activity in the frontal part of orogenic systems can be determined using a combination of U-Pb dating and stable isotope composition methods. This study successfully applied this methodology to understand the deformation timing of subalpine massifs fold and thrust belts. The analysis revealed variations in fluid temperature and composition, indicating deep underthrusting and exhumation in some areas. The dating of calcites showed multiple deformation events, highlighting the importance of inherited structures. The results provide valuable insights into the mountain building process.

Summary: The exhumation of bedrock is controlled by the interplay of tectonics, surface processes, and climate. This study shows that high exhumation rates are not only found in highly active tectonic convergence zones, but also in the Hida Mountain Range, Japanese Alps. The study also reveals that exhumation rates can change significantly within glacial-interglacial cycles, possibly due to a combination of factors.

Summary: New Be-10 surface exposure dating on the Limaxina landslide in northern Chile reveals that it occurred 80 +/- 4 ka ago, which is consistent with other local records of a wet episode in the Atacama Desert. This suggests that climate-forcing plays a primary role in landslide activity in this region, calling for further dating of slope failures in the arid Central western Andes to explore responses to Quaternary climate oscillations and extreme events.

Summary: Thermochronological data is crucial for understanding the thermal and exhumation histories of active mountain ranges. However, in the Central Andes, the lack of bedrock outcrops and the presence of volcanic formations have limited the investigation of the exhumation history of the Western Cordillera. This study presents new thermochronological data from the Canete Canyon, indicating the importance of considering burial associated with thick volcanic formations when interpreting data from this region.

Summary: The uplift of Provence in the early Late Cretaceous led to the formation of the Durance Isthmus. Through U-Pb dating of calcite in compressional structures related to Pyrenean foreland compression in Provence, it is found that north-south shortening occurred at the same time as the emersion of the Durance Isthmus, with top-to-the-North to northwest thrusts developed between 97 and 90 million years ago. This large-scale event, observed from the Pyrenees to the Middle-East regions, is interpreted as a precursor to the reorganization of the Africa-Europe plates. The change in tectonic style and shortening amount between Provence and Pyrenees is attributed to the sinistral reactivation of the NE-SW Cevennes and Nimes faults, acting as transform boundaries in this early collisional context.

Summary: This article reviews the transition issues from pediatric to adult-focused health care for individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The clinical consequences of OI change during the lifespan, with lower fracture rates in adults and other manifestations becoming more prominent. The literature on the transition to adult health care in OI is limited, but tools to aid transition, such as self-management skill improvement programs, have been developed. The transition process varies between healthcare systems, making generalizations difficult.

Summary: Analysis of data obtained by ChemCam on Mars reveals that the carbon signal is mainly related to ionization of the atmosphere, with variability potentially linked to the physical state of the atmosphere. Up to sol 3355, no carbonate was detected in the ChemCam dataset, suggesting that it is not a major constituent (>50%) in the analyzed targets and that carbon in soils is not enriched beyond the limit of detection. The dominant salts found in Gale are sulfate and chlorides, while the absence of carbonates, seen in Jezero, may be due to differences in protolith.

Summary: This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the impact of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of infants from NICU hospitalization to one year post-discharge. The study found that lower HRQL during NICU stay was associated with earlier gestational age, postnatal corticosteroid usage, outborn status, and gastrostomy tube placement. Lower HRQL at 3 and 12 months post-discharge was associated with readmissions, home oxygen use, parent-reported difficulty breathing, lower developmental scores, and not playing with other children. Most parents reported similar or improved HRQL after discharge, but parents of infants with respiratory symptoms experienced less improvement. Efforts to improve parent HRQL should focus on respiratory symptoms and social isolation.

Summary: This study aims to determine if children with elbow flexion contracture (EFC) caused by brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) are more likely to develop shoulder contracture and undergo surgical treatment. A retrospective review was conducted on children under 2 years old with BPBI who presented to a single children's hospital. The results showed that patients with EFC had reduced shoulder range of motion and higher odds of shoulder contracture and surgical treatment. Prompt referral to a BPBI specialty clinic is recommended for evaluation and potential surgery.
