Biofilm state Limosilactobacillus reuteri modulates aryl hydrocarbon receptor activity and suppresses experimental necrotizing enterocolitis.

Background: Decreased Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) signaling pathway activation is implicated in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) pathogenesis. Limosilactobacillus reuteri (Lr) is a probiotic that catabolizes tryptophan into AHR ligands. We have previously shown that Lr in its biofilm state has improved efficacy against NEC.

Can magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reduce lingual nerve injuries during mandibular third molar surgery? A scoping review.

Background: Recent advancements in MRI, with its superior soft tissue resolution and ionising radiation-free nature, provide a promising solution for the limitations of current imaging modalities. This review aims to evaluate whether MRI can be utilised to reduce the risk of lingual nerve (LN) injury during mandibular third molar surgery (M3M).

Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, the protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024625994).

Characteristics, licensing, and ethical considerations of openly accessible oral-maxillofacial imaging datasets: a systematic review.

Several open-source oral-maxillofacial imaging datasets have been created but their characteristics, ethical clearance, and licensing for reuse remain unclear. This study aimed to systematically identify these datasets and investigate their characteristics, ethical approvals, and licensing requirements for reuse. Open-source oral-maxillofacial imaging datasets were identified through electronic databases and dataset platforms.

Success of Coenzyme Q10 in Treating Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome in Jordan: A Case Series.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is one of the leading causes of primary end-stage kidney disease in the pediatric age group. It is commonly associated with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), which ultimately leads to impairment in the function of the glomerular filtration system. Genetic studies have revealed nearly 50 types of gene deficiency disorders linked to the development of both FSGS and SRNS.

The Relationship Between Gambling Disorder, Physical and Mental Health, and Substance Use in Maryland.

The Prevention and Etiology of Gambling Addiction Study in the U.S. (PEGASUS) was a prospective cohort study, conducted in Maryland from 2015 to 2022, that sought to measure the comorbidities and impact of gambling behavior.
